I called CIC at the beginning of Oct., they said they're processing Jan. applications

At this point I am loosing my patience. I know after AOR is other wait time.. even people reviewing PR is wait time. Totally rubbish

Call center will have the same January processing story and its a total waste of time to wait in the line to hear the script. The best thing to do is to wait in my opinion.

We could all keep writing to or calling the immigration minister's office instead.

I really don't think they give a damn about our wait times or how this entire process really works for citizenship but as you said its worth a shot. Good luck!

Hi Guys, Would AOR include all the names of the family members on the receipt? I mean does it include the names of the applicants also or just a receipt of the application.

Yes name in the separate email for each applicant with receipt/file number

But it is worth a try.

Hi,

I had a doubt that I missed something to fill in my wife's application (Q.11 -5years history -up to four years only). I am not sure whether they returned the application as the address was an old one on the file.

If they return the application, will it be in the system? If my wife calls Agent, will they able to tell whether it is returned?
Thanks for the support,

Sorry, but returned applications won't show up in their system at all. And if you call, they won't be able to tell you if it was returned. Your best bet is to give it until December. If you don't receive AOR, you might want to apply again, as your application may have been returned without your knowledge.

I just received mail from CRA regarding cancellation of certain tax benefits because I moved to a different province last year. Looks like COVID isn't a problem for Federal Employees for issuing such correspondence, but somehow working on AORs is too risky.

Lol, working on AORs "in an orderly and sane fashion" is the most difficult job on the planet as it requires "thinking", a capacity that they lack!

Today received response from Ircc about the Aor: “
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We verified the information you provided and can confirm that your application is not available in the system yet.

If you sent it by traceable means, you may contact the mail service provider you used in order to make sure that it was received by the processing office.

Your application will be processed according to the date it was received.”

Clearly they provide false information as they don’t process based on date application received. As long as they accept new applications and processing newer applicant we don’t know how long it will take to get AoR. We should find out why they are skipping some applications. It shouldn’t be an accident!

Thank you. My wife called CIC they said, application will be returned to the address which is indicated in the Citizenship application. Not old address. I am not sure if this is true. So far they could not able to trace information from the system whether it is returned or not

Today one of my friend whose application reached at CIC around end of February got an AOR (Family of 4). Hopefully remaining ones in March will soon start receiving their AOR's. (including me).

I laughed at this. True.
