Which email address did you send your email to? I'm curious to try and do that myself. I've had no updates since Jul. 19 when my background check was marked as "completed" and my AOR is Feb. 03. No idea why it is taking so long for them to send a test invite.
November 2021 - Citizenship applications
- Thread starter canvisa001
- Start date
My mom (AOR Feb 10), still waiting for physical and prohibition and oath to complete. she is a Calgary applicant and processing office is Vancouver.
The thread is dying because no one has any updates to share.
Our applications are deep in some backlog untouched after the latest system update. I still hope we see some movements soon.
Just no updates.... for me none after test 5 months ago... some are even at AOR stage... just waiting is all with nothing to report
I believe that most people are checking on a regular basis. It appears to me that Nov 2021 applications have stalled a bit at IRCC .
I took my test on Nov 13, 2022 . Other than the ghost update that everyone received on Dec 16, 2022 nothing has changed on my application status.
I do still login to the tracker once a day to look for any updates. I'm not in a rush to get my application completed but I do wish there was some kind of time standard to when we can expect changes during each step. There are people who applied a year before me that are waiting to be completed. On the other hand, there are people that applied way after me and they already have their citizenship. The whole system makes no sense when it comes to timing. I realize that there are unique situations that require additional processing time. However, I expect those situations to be in the minority.
Hi guys,
I have never posted here before. Just an update. I applied on November 22, 2021 and passed my test on November 24, 2022.
So, I got an email 2 weeks ago from Scarborough office asking me for an in person interview on January 24,2023 @10AM. Apparently, they wanted to verify my documents and english knowledge. So, I went there today. I got there around 9:30 Am. Interview was literally 2 minutes long. The officer only asked me about my work and didn’t even look at my passport properly. He just checked my name and asked me if I wanted to take an oath today and obviously why would I say no. I have been waiting for this day for FOREVER!!
He asked me if I brought my PR card along and then sent me to a waiting room and asked me to wait for my name to be called. 5 minutes later my name was called along with one more person. We went inside and there was guy inside. He didn’t look like a citizenship judge by his appearance. He asked me if I was ready to take the oath and I said “YES”
I repeated the oath after him and surrendered my PR card and got my citizenship certificate on the spot. I was out of there by 10:10 AM. Honestly, I didn’t expect any of that. I just couldn’t believe how quickly everything happened.

But I want to ask you how you've been able to see E Cas and you're an online applicant can you please clarify
Hey, thankyou so much. I am sorry I meant to write online tracker but for some reason I wrote Ecas. I just fixed it
