Hello
Applied for citizenship online for a senior citizen who doesn’t need language or knowledge test.
Submitted on May 15.
Didn’t get any letter that says AOR but received a letter on May 21 that has UCI and Application number.

In the application tracker it shows they’ve requested additional info on july 5. But we haven’t received any email or physical letter thus far. Is it a form of ghost update or do they actually take that long to send out the letters after updating in the tracker ?


May 21- application filed.
July 5- additional info required
July 9- background check complete.

They usually do not take so long to send the email, it is mostly received within a few days of the status on the tracker. Please check the spam folders and if nothing found, call IRCC as soon as possible as the deadline for most such requests is to submit within 30 days.

Added you to the spreadsheet. Most people got some updates at around 2 months time. Since you are past that time, please call IRCC to check on the progress of your application.

Thank you, added to the spreadsheet. Did you apply online or paper?

I have updated few dates, for example test completed is July 22 and not July 24 as the tracker has 2 business days delay. For the accurate dates, please check the application history section at the bottom of your tracker.

Thank you, added to the spreadsheet.

I have updated the background completed date as July 22 and not July 24 as the tracker has 2 business days delay. For the accurate dates, please check the application history section at the bottom of your tracker.

Regarding the ghost update, you got one GU on July 20. The update on July 24 is a real update as background was marked completed and reflected on the tracker on 24th so it is not a GU but a real update.
Regarding the 'two new updates' on the tracker, it is a bug in IRCC tracker and it will mark all previously completed steps as new update. In your case, if you noticed it would be showing a new update on 'application filed' step. When you eventually get an oath scheduled in the coming months, you would see it as showing 8-10 new updates as it marks all previous steps as new updates so you can ignore the numbers and start preparing for the test as you might get a test invite soon!
