If you're a paper applicant, just keep checking ecas/new tracker/email. Your status on the old tracker should change from application received to in process soon (it takes a bit more than a month usually). After that, background verification will be marked as complete. The next step is usually the test and then finally the oath. It's a long process. It's normal to have to wait for a while.
Hi folks,
Just I am wondering if they return the package because it is not complete , do they take the same time for AOR to return it or it should be less ?

You're referring to the new tracker (the one that you need to create an account for), right? That is NOT what the tracker is keeping track of. Whoever is updating the tracker, please don't add wrong data. That field ("in process on ecas") is not for the new tracker. For instance, online applicants cannot even login to ecas but a bunch of them have that field filled in. Please stop adding misleading data points. This is not targeted at you specifically but I am just tired of seeing misleading data and trying to see a trend while continuously ignoring data that looks wrong.
I have applied online, and today I got this email: So I think the new tracker does show the status and progress correctly.
