October 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[patienceandope]

I updated my correspondence preference via webform. I applied on Jan. 20. I got the response from them on Feb. 9. So it took me about 3 weeks.

@Hot2Cold Thanks Did you get an automated confirmation right after you submit the webform? (I did not even get automated confirmation)

I spoke to CIC agent recently.
She told that there was some glitch in the system which generates AOR during last few weeks of Dec to early Jan.
So they are going case by case and sending the AORs. I asked for the timeline when they will be sending it, they dont have date for it.
Hope I receive my AOR email soon.

Cheers!!

No. There was no confirmation email when I submitted the form.

There we go. That's why people still haven't received any AOR emails even the already seen second line on ECAS. Thanks and plz keep us posted.

I think even people with one line are in AOR stage.

Thanks for confirming

I had one line in eCAS till today. Yesterday, I got the AOR email dated Feb 09, 2021. Today my eCAS updated to 2 lines, confirming that the AOR date was Dec 18, 2020.

So yes, people that have a one-liner on the eCAS are most likely at the AOR stage and just have to wait patiently to get their AOR or move directly to the In Process stage as has happened to a few applicants.

Received AOR emails today, Feb. 10, 2020. Mine was a family application, but I received emails only for my spouse and kids. Just wondering why my email went missing?? ECAS still shows one line for all of us.

Wait another day or two, it should come in.

My AOR date is also the same - Dec 18 as per the CIC agent. Lets see, even I should get the email sometime soon.

ECAS still shows one line and no AOR email yet.

I am the opposite and it's making me go mental! I received my AOR email on Jan 28th, but my ECAS status still shows only the first line.

I am worried in case the status doesn't update for future correspondences. Probably my last cry for help before contacting IRCC, but has anyone face a similar issue here?

Hey @SPKKS, please update us if you receive the ECAS line. I have been waiting for a couple of weeks so if you get it soon, I'll know something is off with my application. I'd rather not call IRCC and play around with my application if there is no need: have had a bad experience with them on my PR card application.

Why ? There is no reason to go mental. They make mistakes all the time. I have even seen people get their in Process without AOR. Just be patient, things will come in time. I am a January 2020 applicant and I got my AOR in August 2020. Just looking at your timeline, it shows that things are getting slightly better.

Well they have been making horrible mistakes on my file for a long time so I have some built up anxiety with respect to them.

But you are right: on the brighter side of things, the timeline is getting much better from the looks of it. Have you received an "In Process" yet?

EDIT: Appears you have! Good luck, I hope they start rolling out the tests for the 2020 batch soon and therefore your batch.

I can totally understand the anxiety, I have been and I am still anxious.
Let's just hope for the best. They seem to be slow at sending invites for the tests.
