I was apparently sent a correspondence for a request for more documents on Feb 9. I haven't received anything yet as of
Feb 16. I should say that I never received the AOR and the Discover Canada book either in the mail. But when I didn't receive the AOR, I went online and checked my address with them and for whatever reason they still had it as an old address from when I had a study permit even though I didn't have that address as my mailing address on my application. Anyway, I of course proceeded to correct my address online through their tool. This was early January. I'm worried that they still are sending mail to the wrong address since I haven't received their correspondence. I checked online and it's showing my correct home address with no mailing address filled as my home address is my mailing address. So that part is correct.

I probably need to contact them at this point but how do I do that? I couldn't easily find an email address or way to contact them regarding citizenship applications other than their phone number as I'm currently outside Canada and they excruciatingly long wait times based on my experience (~2-3 hours), if you actually get through to someone that is.

I have added you to the Dec sheet, It may be a finger print request which seems quite common. I hope @razerblade will be able to answer you regarding your situation.

Hi, so you got AOR by email, correct ? IRCC no longer mails our physical AORs and Discover Canada booklets. You can download the pdf or audtio versions using the link in the pdf attachment of the AOR email. You can also order a physical copy for free using the same link.

About the address, several others including me had the same issue. It's not a big deal. They update the mailing address once application starts processing. But I, like you, updated it through ecas right away as well.

Can take upto 3 months to get AOR. In some cases, it is taking even longer.

Hmmm yeah I did receive the email about the AOR. They should probably change the wording for checking statuses as I'm pretty sure it implies that that a physical letter was sent. But for the correspondence I still should expect something by mail It's been 5 business days and I still haven't received anything. Hopefully it gets there Monday. I don't understand why they don't just send these things by email or through your IRCC account.
