Thank you. Correct, BGC is still in progress in application tracker. No update on BGC in ECAS.

Where do you see the address?

I downloaded my app from the online application tool. Although, I’m not sure if it’s the right way to check. I assume they’ll send me an email notification when the application has been updated with my new address. From the looks of it, it looks like it takes several weeks to get this updated.

Please also update the comments to say - Applicant received FP request on October 1 and submitted on October 1.

HI everyone, I applied on May 26 and received AOR on Sep 3rd. No updates since then. ECAS doesn't have my file yet. Any advise?

Hi Vipul
Did you check the status of your application through this link https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en
Or did you check the status using the old ECAS tool: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/introduction.do?app=ecas
Was your application online or paper?

How can I check my daughter's application? Isn't it supposed to be under 1 application if you're applying as family?

Hi All - I had a status update on November 4 stating "You have been scheduled to take the citizenship test online. Read the invitation you will receive carefully" but I haven't received e-mail update notification or invitation. Should I be worried?

Also when my background check was complete, I didn't receive an e-mail notification as well. I am checking the site regularly though.

Did you receive AOR email?

 

[Melodrama]

Did you receive AOR email?

Yes I did. Also in status tracker it mentions I need to take the test between November 12 and December 2, when I try to book an exam it says in our records you were not yet invited. No updates on ECAS as well yet.

Please check your spam folder regularly. Even if you didn’t receive it yet invitation email will follow shortly.

Please note, they don’t send email when background check is completed. There are only 4 application status option in ECAS: application receive,application in process, decision made, application withdrawn.
Citizenship test, language, background check, physical presence and phohibition updates can be checked using new tracker

Thank you, will keep an eye on my e-mails. I was just concerned that in new tracker I see the citizenship test message update on November 4th and not yet received an e-mail invitation. Hopefully next week.

Hi Abbas

I applied online and checked both the tools. The first tool just says in progress, the second one can't find me.

Ok.. so what I know through the forum is that applicants who apply online are not able to see the status on the old ECAS tracker…
