Citizenship Applications after Bill C-6

[Goku]

haha I know its funny question... but I may thought if i am accessing the ECAS daily cic might not be able to make changes... or check history on number of times i check my application status?

Lol what you are doing is not thinking but overthinking. The simple way to understand this is they enter info at point 1 and you see it at point 2. now no matter how many times you access point 2 it will have no effect on point 1, and I am pretty sure they don't have time to check how many time you opened ECAS. So relax.

Thanks guys. My local office is Cagary. I have noticed some people from Calgary who got AORs after me have their application went into IP...

I thought after receiving AOR its the process in sequence. Strange thing is some people who got AOR on November 23 went to IP on November 27th just in 4 days... and I am still waiting.....

TBH our process to acquire Canadian Citizenship has just started. You being so desperate is surely going to make things worse ahead. The worst scenario is you will get Citizenship little bit late compared to those guys or maybe even quicker. You never know. So the only thing I would say is to stay calm. Christmas is around so enjoy as 2017 is not coming back.

Tons of free material online. Just google it.

I saw we can "Listen" to the book but I was wondering if they send a CD with the book?

I believe you can listen to it online. There is no physical disc with the book.

Question for the experts, please if you can answer?

Does checking your ECAS status daily or twice daily effects your processing?

if you check it thrice, you may be handed with life sentence. so beware.

Dude... there is people atill waiting for AOR, and you complain because you didnt get In Process in 4 days?
What part of “every application is different and its processed different” does people dont get? Its basic english, nothing complicated...

Relax, chill, enjoy the wait, study the guide, find a hobby, go watch star wars... you are already PR, nothing affects your application, you should be used to the “hurry and wait” game if IRCC,.

NO AORs today?

It seems IRCC slowed down on October applications and working on November. Remarkable number of people got AOR on 14th!

Dear All,
Sorry, I am posting this again. I posted it 11 days ago and since then I am checking my email every second and calling CIC call centre every day and submitted case inquiry twice. I did everything you can imagine. I sent my first application on Oct. 16th and it was received Oct. 19th, but it had the old form. I called CIC agents; one said no problem while the other confirmed to send another one with the new form ASAP. I did and sent it on Oct. 20th and was received on Oct. 23rd. The thing is that: some applicants their applications were received Oct. 26 or 27 and the got their AOR on Nov. 30. I called CIC to clarify, they told me different answers; like that, they are working on files received on Oct. 19th, so wait some more weeks. While another tells me that those applicants were lucky. How it comes; one (like most of them) tells and confirms that they are working on applications received on Oct. 19th till now, while another one makes it as a hit of luck for those applicants whose applications were received on Oct. 26th and got their AORs on Nov. 30th.
CIC agent gave me two options: either to wait until mid-January or resubmit a third application. But I see that they moved forward and sending AORs to November applicants. I like to gain some more time as I have to go back to my country urgently.
Any advice?
Thanks

Hi, IMO absolutely do not send a 3rd application. If you look at the spreadsheet, people whose applications were delivered on Oct 12, 13th are still getting AORs. It is clear that different agents are working at different pace, because Oct 12 - Nov 1st week applicants are getting AORs in no particular order. Simply sit tight and wait will be my advice. No point in contacting IRCC till you get AOR. Nothing they can do to help expedite it.

Did you send both applications by courier ?

Yes, and the first received and signed by Allen Thomas and the second by M KRSWDA and both received at the same time 9:18 AM. I think yours is received by Allen Thomas as well.

The agent today told me that they sent an inquiry to office in Sydney but she told me that it might take days, weeks up to 3 months.

Yeah. Well point is you have proof that your applications were delivered and accepted. It is extremely extremely unlikely that IRCC lost both your applications. I'm sure it's just buried under a pile somewhere and they will get to it eventually. It sucks, I know, but nothing we can do about it.

I asked the agent just one simple question, which could not answer as nobody else can, and she gave me just a suggestion; that: they receive files and keep piling them, then put or keep them in different boxes, then deliver them to groups of officers to work on each box.
Your suggestion that "my two application bot buried under piles of other applications", is likely acceptable, but how most people applied on 18 and 23 got their AORs?
You will not believe it; I called yesterday while I preparing the third physical calculator, and I called CIC to confirm my entry date to Canada, which was my start date in my job, as May 1st, 2013 but she told me that it May 6th. I told her that I have the stamp and the officer's hand-writing on the passport show that it May 1st. She told me when you apply for the 3rd time attach a picture of your passport.

What the agent said about placing applications in boxes and delivering to officers to work on them, makes perfect sense. Keep in mind that this is vacation season. Perhaps, some october files were delivered to an agent who is taking time-off, OR took time-off and is now trying to catch up. Also, of course each officer is working at their own pace .. some faster than others. This is the only logical explanation and it fits.

My application was delivered on 13th Oct along with several others on this forum. A lot of them got AORs 2-3 weeks before me, while some are still waiting. Clearly there is no pattern.
