I recieved AOR today, but right after that i got another email with a request for Police Certificate for any time over 183 days spent out side Canada. I submitted the police certificate with the original application so how come they are asking for it again? My understanding is that the requirement is to submit the letter for any time over 183 days in the last year from the date of application or is it any time since the age of 18.
I submitted the same police certificate again using web form but little bit confused here.

Hi everyone, I received an email saying this to acknowledge receipt of your application... is this the AOR? if so, there's no update on my application status when I am checking it online. the email has my UCI and application number. is it AOR?

Yes and congrats. The tracker link is mentioned in the mail and it is different from where you created the initial application. Assuming it is an online application, the tracker will take between 48-72 hours( more likely 72 ) to become active.

Hi I have received my citizenship test scheduling information on the portal. However, I haven't received an invitation email to schedule the test. My window is Aug 25 to September 14. When should I contact them since its only 3 days from when I can start the test.

Timeline:
Application sent: July 15
AOR: Aug 3
Citizenship test updated: B/n Aug 17 to 21 (didn't check during this time - so could have gotten the update here.)

Hey everyone. How do I add my timeline to the spreadsheet? It looks like a 'View Only' file.

Hi All,

My test window starts in 3 days, and I still haven't received the invitation link to take the test from IRCC. Who do I contact?

I was requested for Fingerprint on Aug 11th. I scheduled an appointment with a nearby RCMP affiliated group and provided by fingerprints. I received the letter to take the citizenship test on the same day as the request for the Fingerprint and I have completed by test too. How about you? Did you receive the letter for your citizenship test?

Yes, but I received it before fingerprinting letter!

Hi All,

I received it two days in advance of the test date. Not much else you can do: Call never went through for me and I believe webform taked longer than 3 days for a response.
Some folks tend to take the test without ever receiving instructions as mentioned on this forum.

But I read that this is not recommended to do - and IRCC sometimes asks you to re-take the test. Not sure what to do in this situation.
