November 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Canada429]

Yes I did receive it after a week from AOR but I was able to register for the tracker (48 hours after AOR) even before receiving the email.

Have you received any update on the tracker?

Hi, I see yours is online application. What do you mean by link to ecas ? Were you able to check the status using ecas ? I thought ecas doesn’t work for online applications. I heard it only works for paper applications. Can you clarify ?

For all of you who got your AORs, did you all receive the “follow the progress of your citizenship application” email? My AOR was Dec 19, I still haven’t received it yet.

@iammr322 ecas is also for online application. My application is also online.

Nothing yet and I don't expect so as ours is minor. We can expect some updates when regular applicants in this group starts getting BG updates.

Is it me or did everything slow down to a snail's pace because of the holidays regarding test invites and things being in progress for longer? I hope things get back to normal now...

Yah things slowed down a lot!
Most people take vacay between dec 15 and first week of Jan...So, hopefully, by next week things will ramp up

The test was very easy i did it in less than 10mn, and practice questions were harder. I read the book once and was practicing with the Discover Canada app

Hum link to ecas meaning i was able to link my online app to this tracker: https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login. Not sure what it is called i saw my fellow applicants saying ecas i assume it was it

My husband received the AOR on December 8th. His application was submitted on November 16th. There have been no updates since then. We called CIC today, and they informed us that the application is still in progress and everything is going well. However, there hasn't been an invitation for the test yet. I see everyone with his timeline has already received the test invite. Anyone else on same boat?

 

[yasirhashmi15]

Just given the test today and got 16 out of 20. To be very honest, I find test very difficult even I practise like 250 questions...

Type: Online application
Application: Family
Application sent: November 13th
AOR: December 6th
Fingerprint requested: Jan 2nd

I have a question about fingerprint request. The online tracker shows that it has been requested on Jan 2nd. However, I have not received the instruction letter yet. Should I contact them? If yes, how? Or is it normal for the instruction letter to take a few days to be delivered to my email?

Were there many questions about dates?

I'm trying to make an account for tracking but I'm not receiving any code to my registered email id. Does anyone know what should I do?
