February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[harirajmohan]

When do you think Feb applicants are going to receive the knowledge test invites ?

Do you think CIC is going to stick to the 12 months processing time period ?

I think that cic decides on Test or even conducts online/inperson within this year as we have 2019 backlog to be cleared and it would be 1 year for them without test and i assume that they decide on it this year itself.

No 12 months. I think that it will be 12-18 months from AOR - my wild guess.
Sorry cic is not operating at full speed hence i am not able to think that we get anything this year except AOR.

Seems like most of the people receiving AORs are single applicants.

Please prove me wrong of someone with family/couple application received AOR?

Hi

I received AOR for the whole family of five members, please see below timeline;

Application sent : 05 Feb 2020
Application received: 10 Feb 2020

Did you try ECAS to see if you get access?

I did but no luck so far. Question though - How do you enter client ID in ecas XXXX-XXXX or XXXXXXXX ?

Thanks.

So my application was delivered on Feb 10..
I called IRCC number today at 9 am, the guy on the phone said there is backlog because of COVID-19 and they are currently processing middle of January applications. Funny guy lol

it just looks like everyday they are moving forward with Feb dates, don't know if they intend to come back to the ones they missed from early Feb

If they are taking these much time to get aor, i am just wondering how much time they will take for next steps such invitation lettet, test date and oath ceremony

Going to be 12-18 months after AOR for the process to complete now, IMHO

Technically speaking it should only take usual time because if we are getting AORs now. They are providing test dates to December guys and it should be the usual time for us

Hi, Please can you provide more info on above highlighted part. Could you share the link where December applicants received test dates recently? All I know is that all tests are cancelled until further notice.

After I posted here about my AOR yesterday, I checked ecas and nothing was there.
This morning I checked and it is updated in there now!!

It shows below. does it change to "in process" when they actually start ?

I think that it changes after some days/weeks of AOR, not immediately.
What is showing before you get to this page? Showing as "Application Received"? This is where it would change to In Process.

eCAS status updated as Application Received. I don't expect to hear from IRCC for few months

Location: Toronto, ON
Application Type: Single
Physical Presence Days: 1133
Application Sent: February 05, 2020
Application Delivered: February 10, 2020

Does your eCAS say Application Received or does it say In Process?
