June 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Phema]

I've resubmitted my application yesterday "Aug 31st"

Does this considered as a new submission or am I still part of the month of Jun.

I guess I should be part of August now. Correct?

You will be considered Aug applicant.

Is there any who have fingerprints showing received but background check is not completed yet?

What is your AOR date and which office is yours?

Actually I never got an AOR. I just got the email test invite last August 16. I passed my application last June 2 and was input in the system last June 6 ( accdg. to the email they sent me). They sent me an email stating that they have received my application. After that, no emails or updates. Until I got the test invite last August 16, that was when I got to track the status of my application. I was so down that time because I thought that our application was rejected since I did not hear anything at all from them since they received my application. The office that sent me the invitation test was Fredericton office.

Hello everyone. I applied for my citizenship on June 18, 2023 and haven't even received the AOR. What should I do?


Also, is there any Whatsapp group that I can join where I can talk to people about it?

As part of application process, does everyone have to provide fingerprints or this is just something IRCC decides and chooses some applicants?

There is a whatsapp group for June applicants and the link is somewhere in this thread. I don't remember where it is.

Could you give more details about the application? It could be helpful.

I'm thinking you could also let us know if the application was Online/ Paper application, and Single/ Family application

Hi, our family applied on June 1 and our application were received and input in the system on June 8 ( email from IRCC), after that we never received updates or correspondence from them. We also did not receive AOR - that is why we assumed that our application were returned. Surprisingly, on August 17, we received an email from IRCC regarding the test invite. And the test window is from August 17-Sept 4. Well, I just wanted to share with you my experience with them because we too, did not receive AOR.

AOR was sent from this sender and email address —

Probably you just did not notice it…

Hi @11CECapp - just wondering about the physical presence calculation in the online application. I wonder how you were able to get through the system with just 1095 days (i.e., 730 days as PR). It seems the online application's physical presence calculator works differently, that it doesn't allow you to click on "calculate" if your PR days are exactly just 730 days. It will have to be 731 days in order to proceed, so the minimum is 1096 days it seems. Could you share how it worked for you? Thanks!

Hi! I also have exactly 1095. I'm not sure if what I did was correct. When i submitted, it was right after midnight Atlantic time on June 30th (1095 days completed June 29th). When i checked my application and eligibility it shows June 29, hence exactly 1095 days. the application form says June 29 (eastern time). But since my application was not returned and i already took my citizenship test, i guess it's ok. I have my email confirmation stamped at 12:39 am 30 June 2023, in case they would question if my physical presence is enough when i submitted.
So to answer your question, i guess it would depend on the time of day that you submit. But I guess, it's worth waiting another day, it will save you some worries.

Thanks for your reply @Cynch. My issue was not related to the timezone. The online system simply doesn't allow you to click on calculate your physical presence if the PR days are exactly 730 days. And when I increased the date by 1, I was able to calculate the days and it shows 731 PR days. So it's like this is the minimum. I suspect maybe people got 1095 days from more than 730+ days as PR. In your calculations, was your PR days more than 730?
