July 2017 Citizenship applicants

[Katayoon]

That's true , just imagine what will happen when bill c6 kicks in.
The hardest part is to wait after AOR since it will confirm that the application is complete and won't be returned.

Yeah, let us hope to clear as many rounds as possible before the tsunami of files hits.

Totally agree - at least after AOR we can sneak into our ECaS and confirm that we did not miss any update in mail etc. The initial wait was really painful. Good luck to all of us.

Wow I am disappointed! I no longer hold the record of longest wait for AOR in July - now there are two of us with 40 days.

Things are slowing down. We had two long weekends since July started...

Hey Katayoon,

I'm catching up on you day 35 today. I really hope I'll get AOR soon just so that I get into the pipeline before C6 comes to effect. Keeping fingers crossed.

Your AOR is gonna come through soon, await, no worries - unfortunately, it is not first come first served basis, there are still June people who are waiting for AOR if it can be of any consolation... we will get there one day. Good luck

Can CIC return an application after AOR?

My PR is expiring in Feb 2018. I have applied for PR renewal last week as well. Do you think applying for PR renewal impacts Citizenship application processing?

How many days does it take to get AOR once we mail it to them? What is the procedure? Should we follow the status online? Online status is not showing anything to me yet after 2 weeks.

About 35 days on average. Check the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16cfQUVB3j56QktacolbsAxpNlOrvk2uFGZzm_ZFCnfg/htmlview#gid=1216032789

For me, I could see online status next day after AOR - so pretty soon. You will not see anything before AOR.

Yes, it gets transferred to your local office, unless your office is overloaded, in which case it gets transferred to the next available (less busy) office. Next step - you will see in your online status "we started processing your application on XXX date". If you are lucky you will soon be invited to test and interview. If you run out of luck, they will send you request for extra docs like fingerprints or passport stamp translation or some more forms to fill etc.

AOR means your application is complete and they will start processing it. They will not return it unprocessed.

Thanks also for language proof, was a copy of degree and transcript enough or we needed to send the official transcript sent from the university?

I received my AOR by email today.

Updated! And you did mean Aug 16, 2017 right?

It doesn't have to be sent from the University, a copy is fine.

I don't think it'll impact your citizenship process but I would recommend getting in touch with an agent when you get any one of them. I mean, if you get your renewed PR card, maybe ask the agent if you need to provide a copy of your new PR card or not for your citizenship application, and if you get the citizenship certificate before, then you would have to maybe withdraw your PR application.

That's what I would do..
