Thinking positively is the best way to go! I'm keeping postive too.

I'm checking the other months and seems like October applicants are starting to get test invites and oaths.

From what I've seen, the background checks are the most vital and things don't move forward until they have been successfully completed. Lets hope our background and security checks come back quickly!!

I've also noticed it depends on the work ethic of the assigned citizenship officer working our case. Some are slow. LOL You can tell because an entire group of people with the same timeliness are often impacted together.

Could someone please share the AOR format? I'm getting a bit worried as I applied for my wife on December 13, and the only email I've received so far is about registering for tracking. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently someone said all AORs come from Sydney, if that’s what you’re using for reference. They also said the real office behind your application will be referenced in your test invite email subject, or in the email address that sent the test invite.

no one who applied in December got their test invite other than you lol. This is why I’m asking you specifically.

I have submitted my application on 15th December and got the AOR on 24th December. Today I realized that I missed adding temporary visa for one country (I had the visa for 6 months but never visited in person) in the application section "Immigration and citizenship status" . To correct the same I raised the web form via this link https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx.

Question : I did not get any notification from IRCC that the webform is submitted. Hence I want to understand if the link I used is the correct link to raise the webform ? Or IRCC does not send confirmation email after submitting the webform ? Reply here will really . Thanks !!

All initial processing is done in Sydney and then they transfer to a local IRCC office to complete.
So all AORs will be from Sydney.
However, I have seen some posts where Sydney continues to process the application from beginning to end.

Hi there - from my understanding temporary visas do not need to be listed under that section.
The question asked if we have or ever had permanent status in any other country.
Temporary visas are not permanent. Only permanent residence, asylee/refugee claimant, and citizenship are permanent.

also it would take them several days to respond back and acknowledge receipt.

The question on the application is "Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)? " . My understanding is Immigration status = Work Visa / temporary visa / Travel Visa.
