It's definitely good news and sort of confirms what I always suspected - being a pilot, the online applicants are now running through a different, accelerated 'ring', while the rest of our paper-based applications are on the normal 'ring'.yeah December 2020 applicants are getting test invites
) this is an important milestone because the faster the folks in that initial batch reach the end of their grant of citizenship 'cycle', i.e. oath, the faster the process and pilot exercise can be examined for either further rollouts (they ran this exercise for very distinct criteria to ensure conformity; it is possible that the next phase for this in their development is to extend it to families as well). )
A small update on this - when I checked this morning, that other box (with my old mailing address) was gone entirely - there's just my Home address now and a button to change it (if needed). Just wanted to check if others see the same thing on their side as well.
Thank you for the information, I do not see any change for me as yet. Maybe they will get to it when its my turn. I will keep the forum informed if i see any movement to my request for address change.A small update on this - when I checked this morning, that other box (with my old mailing address) was gone entirely - there's just my Home address now and a button to change it (if needed).

If yes, then it means they either:
a) Fixed the issue when I sent the change address notification a few days after my AOR, or
b) (If this appears for everyone, not just for the folks that asked for their address to be updated) That they got so many complaints about it they finally decided to get rid of it entirely
Thank you, my situation is really strange, and I do not know what to do. My wife and I never received AOR e-mail or letter. We applied as family in same envelope. My ECAS showed from two weeks ago that my application received. My wife ECAS did not show anything. Then the last week mine disappeared (that came with ECAS update in which they ask you if you received AOR or not), I no longer can see it. Is that means it is returning to us. I called IRCC but the agent said that they can not see it, and to wait few months!!!.Yes.
Honestly, I'm a little confused by what you just described. Let's see if I have it correct:

Progression is always good. Even if they are running through a different stream regardless the "official" processing time 12 months still.
While it may be somewhat frustrating for the paper-based applications to watch this happen (I would be lying if I didn't admit there was a small part of me that doesn't feel the slightest tinge of jealousy
It's not frustrating honestly. It's how they are handling it. You have a choice to apply online and paper. Which route you're gonna take that upto you. But IRCC is not giving us the clear picture about it, that's all. On the other hand, am I jealous? A little bit, not gonna lie. They launched this program around December 2020 right after we applied in November
I'm happy for them overall because they're ultimately going to show us what the future of this process is going to look like. There is also a possibility that our applications get pushed into that processing stream too - looking at the December 2020 boards as well, it would appear that the pace is accelerating; setting aside the Online applications going through their own processing 'ring', there are paper-based applications in there as late as Mid-December that have received their AORs. This is also excellent news because it means that something has definitely improved about processing times starting end-October.
I am happy for anyone who's becoming a Canadian. The system should be fair at the same time. I've seen people from 2018 are still waiting for OATH invite, people from 2019 are still waiting for Test Invite. This is not fair to them. Lets skip for those who have complicated cases but for those who got invite in March 2020 but cancelled due to COVID 19. Some of them are still waiting for Test Invite. It's not fair at all at any circumstances. It is what it is. Life is not fair to all. So move on
If this in ecas,it's not coming back , no way coming back , if it disappeared even than not coming back ,as it was there and you saw dates, if it was one package , you should be good
