Since Dec 19 applicants have already received AoR, @thrx (Dec 23) seems to be next in line and I was hoping that all Dec online applicants will receive AoR in a week or so but looks like it may take another 2-3 weeks looking at the below pending list:

Dec 16: @dersonc
Dec 17: @Pran6009
Dec 18: @aaom225
Dec 23: @thrx
Dec 24: @Vidhan17
Dec 27: @Rijo02
Dec 28: @vg1989
Dec 28: @insat3d
Dec 31: @destiny2016

P.S.: Requesting Admin to sort the tracker based on App. Delivered as bottom 10 lines are out of sync and its difficult to monitor.

December 25th applicant here‍ no aor yet

Hi friends - while applying online for citizenship, how do we add the details which are normally printed on the back of the photo? Do we just upload the photo and receipt? Or if anyone else doing something else? @CCAI2021 please share your opinion also.

the simple is scanning your photo

Instructions clearly state that 'No Scanning'. I guess some applicants were lucky that their scanned got approved but i guess we should follow the instructions.

Scanning is definitely not an option as that will not be the original copy. I am sure we have to upload the soft copy but my question was about the date it was taken and other details..

 

[mohoozee]

I'm sure he meant scanning the back of the photographs where the photographer's information are usually recorded.

Upload a receipt or the photographer business card. You can also upload a text file containing the photographer information

As per my reading, for the online application you need a digital photo(not a scanned photo).

In my case I went to the nearest Shoppers. It was a bit more expensive I guess: $30 + tax. They gave me 2 physical photos + 1 digital photo in a USB drive(they provided). They also gave a photo-card which had my photo, store details, details of when the photo was taken. I uploaded the digital photo + a pic I took of the photo-card with my phone. I was gonna upload the receipt pic, but then the photocard seemed better with all the details.

A whole week is almost gone without a single AOR at least for online applicants. IRCC, what is going on? Do you want to hire some of us for free? We will be willing to give some time to get the job done!

Is there some sort of access to information request that people who applied online can make?

INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE: Just completed mine. Used MS Teams in Chrome (opens on clicking the link in the interview invite). Try the link a few minutes before time (like 5-10) just to check everything is working. I was told you can join again using the same link if you get disconnected during the interview. The interview took only around 5 minutes. The immigration agent was very nice and friendly. I was only asked to show the ID's and documents submitted with the application, along with confirmation of some information submitted in the application. Was allowed to ask questions in the end, so I asked two:

1) When can I expect the oath?
Sometime in April

2) Why I can't check the application status online?
Online applicants do have this issue. They are working on it.

In case anyone is wondering why some online applicants (like myself) have had very fast processing - I was told a few very early online applicants were chosen and their applications are being expedited through the new process to test it out. The speed for these test cases should not be compared to those who applied before and after.

My timeline:
App submission - 4th Dec 2020 - Online (Toronto) [Not Urgent]
AOR email - 3rd Feb 2021
Test invite email - 24th Feb 2021
Test taken - 2nd March 2021
Interview invite email - 16th March 2021
Interview - 30th March 2021
IRCC office handling my app - Montreal

Good luck everyone
