Just got this email as well. Just me, my wife didn't got anything.
Also wondering what this could possible mean. It reminds me of the ghost emails that everybody expects during the wait in the PR process.

Yesterday ECAS status was `Application Received`. Today it got changed to `Receipt of application at CIC`. Not sure what's the difference between these two statuses.

I was intending to send my application in February but now its March End. Technically one question before I get this delayed further.

Do i have to include a Police Clearance Certificate along with the application or can i send it later. as I know if you are living in other country for more than 6 months, PCC is required

Please update spreadsheet. I received my AOR today.

Just a further update for the spreadsheet. Was able to log in and access the tracker today, it shows the following;

Application Filed - March 14th 2022
Status - In Progress (March 30th 2022)

Please update spreadsheet. Thanks

Getting AOR nowadays is faster than getting a response to a web form.

Does anyone know the average time it takes for the online application from start to finish? Assuming that all docments are submitted and no other complications?

If you apply online, the system will automatically tell you if you need to submit (upload) ones. If you are required to submit the PCC, you must upload it before you can complete the application and submit it online

We submitted on Feb 22 and got the AOR on March 25. So yours is coming anytime now... Just check email and SPAM folder to ensure you don't miss it

Did you submit online or paper?
The online application procedure seems to have a brand new designed website with brand new applicationt tracker, seems to be used only for Citizenship application though... At least to me it does not looks like ECAS for permanent residence or work permit, etc...

We have received AOR on Friday, I was able to create an account on online tracker. but on https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do it still can't find my application, does anyone else have the same problem ?

The application tracker seems to be newly designed and only for the new online citizenship application
For me, I use this tracker (in the email) and register to see your status
