June 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

Ecas update: August 12 - In Process

If lucky you'll get both BG Complete + Test invite next week. But since they seem to have become very aggressive in sending out FP requests, it could also be 1 BG Complete and 1 FP request.

Did you later send the update for question 13?

Yes, I sent different web forms with updated form for Q13
one for myself, other for my spouse

I just checked my email, I got a Fingerprint request today.
@Pearly000 Were you able to go for fingerprint?

I went for Fingerprint yesterday.
The agency said it normally takes 3-4 weeks for RCMP to send results to IRCC and then they take their own time to process results and update the application.

Just an update on your profile requesting FP.. stating an email or letter with further details (was) sent.. Im yet to receive the said letter or email.

I also gave the Fingerprints but I did not see any update on my profile for FP request.
I just got an email for it.

Its more of a system batch run , so usually the updates are in the morning next day.

I believe when new applications are created in their system (both new and old) it appears to be a batch run.

However, there are some cases where folks seem be able to view their updates the same day, that's why I was wondering:

yeah I noticed ,but still I think its more of a click of button to change process flows which only gets updated the following day and might have been a time lag between both system.
aifarooqi when did you notice the change to" in progress" on your ECAS, was it in the morning or middle of the day.

Location: Toronto, ON
Physical Presence Days: 1135
Application: Family (2 adults)
Application sent: June 20, 2022
Delivered: June 22, 2022
AOR: July 6, 2022

Still can't create the account to access the status tracker and getting the error message: "Incorrect UCI or application number. Please try again" ....the wait begins!

Ghost update on Status Tracker this morning, but nothing changed. On ECAS, it now shows:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on June 23, 2022.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on July 6, 2022.
3. We started processing your application on August 15, 2022.

Until afternoon no change on ecas, i checked at night around 10PM changed to in process. I also got the AOR emails after 7PM after every 4 to 5 minutes for all four applications

If @aifarooqi checked the status after 10PM Eastern Time (Ontario) and since Sydney is in the Atlantic time zone, it would be midnight there. Chances are it's a batch run as @A_S said and the run starts at midnight Sydney local time.

So, at least as of now, its basically not that productive to check the status multiple times a day (unless you live east of Nova Scotia and checking much later in the day).

This is also supported by scant timeline updates on the forum as well as the spreadsheet on Mondays.

Good to know. Thanks @A_S and thanks for the data @aifarooqi!

We applied as a family (paper based application). Yesterday morning, my wife got a letter requesting fingerprints. I didn't, is this normal?

It seems FP requests are issued more often recently, one spouse getting the request and another not getting it is also very common.

Yes, it is normal. Same happened for me. I got FP request and my wife's background check was completed.
