I saw my citizenship portal today, the date has been updated from April 17 2023 to today's date and it says the application is updated but there's no change in any of the sections. All shows are in progress. Any insights? Also, no email
Tracker account is not needed and it doesn't affect your application.
That said, it is to your benefit to create one. The test and oath notifications generally appear on the tracker before your receive the official email. It's helpful in situations where you miss the email and it also acts as a heads-up for any upcoming action on your part.
How many days did it take for you to receive fingerprint request email from the date it was shown in the tracker if you have checked that? My tracker started to show on May 20 that fingerprint has been requested and the date was appearing as May 18, but I’m yet to receive any email about it.
My email for fingerprints arrived before the update on the tracker, with the same days as you and at least one other person, so I suspect they were all released together - I don't like to ask the obvious question, but did the email perhaps land in your junk/spam folders by any chance? If not, I'd be inclined to take a deep breath and give IRCC a call about it.
