Ecas is online tool to check status of ur application. After AOR they only send email/mail if they require something from u. In Process status means they started working on ur file.

You can use below website to check ur status

You might have received an email from Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca ... please check your junk folder. That email is your AOR. Only after receiving AOR email (typically after 1-2 days), you will be able to see your application status online on Ecas.

Yes it is AOR., congrats but not receiving emails is a problem. Did you check your spam/junk folder? Maybe you can contact them about it.

Guys who asking when Citizenship Test date will be,to answer to this question,please check SS,you will notice that October applicatns did not receive anything until now,75% September applicants did not received it,More than half August applicants did not receive it,even July applicants (Almost half of them without Test letter until now) imagine!!!!so as i said in this form before,the game of waiting started now ,it could takes 5 months to get Test letter ,of course there are exeptional cases ,so we will have a long time of waiting here,you will see ,the waiting period started now .

You can not see your status Online without receiving AOR ,your file will not be in the System without it,most likely you receive it and you did not realize that it

likelihood of people not providing the information once having received an AOR make them confident and refraining from the forum???
There are many applicants in this form already received AOR and did not share this information,they just follow this form silently Lol

I have a situation, please let me know your opinion. We are expecting our first baby, due on end of March, and not sure at this point how we should proceed. In my head there are two options:

Option 1: Wait and do nothing at this point. If we get test invite for the day which is not practically possible for us to attend, write to CIC to change date. However, in my opinion changing date once CIC already allocated for us will lead to an unnecessary delay as their dates are already full and if I ask to change we have to wait until some other cancel their. Thus this leads me to my second option.

Option 2: Ask CIC to not to send us a test invite until mid-May, by the time when we are okay to attend test/interview. This is based on my assumption that it takes, normally, 2.5-3 months to get test date from the day our application started to be processed. If we ask to change now, they will record this in their system and send test invitation during our desire time frame.

Please let me know if my assumptions are reasonable or not and which option is better for us.

Recently somebody reported that when they send test invite there is a link in email which allows u to go online and reschedule ur test to other dates if u r not available on said date. Once u reschedule ur initial appointment gets cancelled. I would suggest u to wait and see when they will send an email rather than informing and delaying processing of ur app
