[sirajarab]

Hi All,

How do we track application post AOR ?
Tried the link found after answering some questions but when I try to register, it says either the info is invalid or my application info is no in system yet.

Type: paper application
Location: Scarborough
Physical Presence Days: 1100
Application: Family - 2 Adults 2 kids
Application sent: November 15th 2022
Delivered: November 21st 2022
AOR: Jan 20th

Many people switched to Paper from Online seeing the paper processing outpacing online ones during the first half of 2022. With this change people need to reevaluate how they apply in 2023.

True now it seems Online has picked up. However it is still for single or applicants without minors..ours was family application hence no choice but paper. Now we are in for a wait but I hope it is not as long as some of the people in 2020-2021 and early 2022.. the pace picked up only in 2nd half last year. It is not as bad a delay as it was and that is positive.

Try entering UCI without hyphen it should work. Here is the link to sign up
Tracker: https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/

Also for ECAS link for paper applicants only: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en

This is weird.. They could have just asked for the missing documents instead of sending the entire package back. It just complicates the things. Did you send it back? I would suggest to print the application form again to be on safe side.

Application delivered this morning 30 Jan 2023. Now will have to wait and see what happens....I marked the envelope label in bold and yellow highlight "Re-submission of Missing documents - Original App# 18 Nov 2022".
hopefully the mailroom takes notice of that rather than it just sitting there for the next 55 days.

Are you using the new tracker (link in signature) and UCI without dashes?
Since you are a paper applicant you also have access to ECAS (link in signature). However, the new tracker is more detailed and better. If you are still unable to access the new tracker, you should send a webform under technical issues

What's the criteria for some people getting the request for Biometric and some not?

My cousin who works before as a Seafarer before migrating to Canada and travelled to a lot of countries got a biometric request, maybe depends on the travel history too

Hello, everyone plz guide me that after AoR how much time is it taking now a days for test invitation?

Looking through the google sheet for recent trends, it looks like it should be a bit over 2 months.

With the recent trends, I knew it was coming however I was a bit surprised given how slow it was for online applicants even a couple of months ago. My wife filed her application in May 2022 and it took her 6 months to get BG Completed
