that is what I get....
xxxxxxxxxxx

This is to acknowledge receipt of your application for Canadian Citizenship. We will review your application and supporting documents and will contact you if additional information is required. All citizenship applicants between 18 and 54 years of age on the date they sign their application must meet language and knowledge requirements to become a Canadian citizen. If this includes you, you will need to:

• Demonstrate competence in basic communication in English or French.
• Pass a written or if necessary, an oral test on your knowledge of Canada and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

The knowledge test is based on the information provided in the official citizenship study guide. It is 20 multiple choice questions and you must get at least 15 correct to pass. • The study guide is available on the IRCC website at: On the same page, you will find more information on how to prepare for the test. • If you are receiving this letter by regular mail, a print version of the study guide is enclosed. When your application has been reviewed and has met basic eligibility, IRCC will send you correspondence to invite you to a knowledge test. It could take a few months before you hear from us.

So now we should be all flooding the feedback to get AOR. This doesnt seem right. Sorry not criticizing others but looks like we need some other way.
Not sure if its actually even working hence dont know.

I think it’s more of a coincidence. Do you guys really think that they look at the incoming feedback (do they even?) and immediately going to issue AOR to those who sent these feedbacks? :) I think not.
Most likely someone’s back from summer vacays as of Aug 17 and things started to move.
My officer seems to be still on vacays tho:D

Is there any medicine to stop worrying after applying. I submitted the application on June. I am checking at least 20 times, Jan, Feb and March thread. Feel we should give guys some time.
Well i too need one and many need the same. i am checking 100 times :D.
The worst problem is that i have 2 application packages hence i need to check threads of Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June(if they delay issuing May month AOR then i would be checking Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, i hope they issue May AOR before sep applicants ;) )

I agree. If they were actually prompt then they should have issued AOR ;) and updated the processing times from 12 months to 36 months(i am seeing this 12 months time not updated since last year and they update for PR and PR card - i dont get why they dont update for citizenship applications).

Dear Tyara & Speechless,

Congrats on finally getting your AOR. I understand your package was delivered on Jan 23, 2020, as well mine. Unfortunately, I haven't received yet my AOR. If possible, could you please share/confirm who signed/received your application when delivered (on Jan 23, 2020)?

Thanks!
