February 2021 - Citizenship applications

[softwaretesting]

According to what we’re witnessing here in the threads, online applications receive AOR later than paper applications. However, I personally believe the routine online applications after receiving AOR, would be processed faster than paper ones. I might be wrong, but that’s what I feel and believe.

Yes, that's how it has happened so far.

Was your application paper-based or online?

It was paper based

Hello Kumar,
they have received mine Feb 25th as well. I used my receipt number and checked online and it say they have received it Feb 25th. Its been saying that 3+ weeks now but have not received AOR yet.

If it was paper based & status is available online then it seems it is AOR. May be you missed email. I suggest you to check spam folder. Can you paste what exact sentence it shows on ECAS online?

I've been checking my emails often, even the spam. I don't think I missed anything. I thought maybe they have sent it by letter but I have not received anything the mail yet. I only checked 3 weeks ago when I saw that. Not sure when it was updated.
This is what it says online:

I just checked you can now create an account to track application status (Even for paper based applicants).

There is a new IRCC tracker, I think it will replace eCAS, you will need your UCI and application number to create your account https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register, based on this new tracker my application is In Process.

In a Facebook group, there is one member that was able to see that his Oath is scheduled on July 2021, so probably this is going to provide more accurate information and avoid all the calls to the Customer Service

@engray I’m sorry I messed up on the dates but the new tracker says status update on the 23rd of April, not today. But since I checked to I assumed that it’s today

It appears to many of us have information in the new system that our applications went into In Process on April 23, 2021, so I am guessing that it was probably the date when they migrated the information from eCAS to the new tracker. So who knows what is our actual In Progress date.

That makes sense

"In-Process" in the new tracker has different meaning. Currently everyone who has already received AOR would have "in-process" status in new tracker.

I was reading on other threads and I’m starting to think that this in process isn’t the real thing,
