I suspect that. Almost everyone checks that box which says "Mailing address same as current Home address. If they are sending back the applications to the original address at the time of PR, then I guess many people would not know that their application is returned.Hello Everyone!
I received my AOR yesterday and was able to check app status on Ecas. When I logged into my application, the first thing it shows up is your current home address and mailing address before you continue further to see the status. When I filled out the application, I entered my home address followed by a check mark on a box for Mailing address to be same as home address. So I did not enter any info for mailing address.
As per Ecas it showed my home address to be correct while the mailing address showed was the one that I had entered for my PR application in 2016. Since then I have changed couple of addresses but never mentioned that old address in citizenship application.
Had I missed filling out the application properly I guess they would have returned my application to my old address without my knowledge!
For those applicants from March and April who haven’t received AOR, I suggest to check your old address incase application was returned.
Not sure why Cic would do that but I was able to update the mailing address via Ecas and was informed that it may take 15 days for the change to appear.
