November 2020 - Citizenship Application

[Maya88]

most of us check into the new tracker "multiple" times a day even though we know that there's no update.

Yes I did too, but I feel that while it was reasonable to do it before the test invite, now.. it will be a while before the next step hehe so kind of useless.

I was just being sarcastic!! that's all!! There's a thread on September 2020 where @rajkamalmohanram mentioned that he maintained a schedule, again he was being sarcastic, to check the status once in every couple of hours!!

Jokes aside, at this moment I would say you can wait for any email notification or probably check the tracker once in a week probably. I go through the 2020 spreadsheet once a day/week by looking into the September/October month applicants progress and try to guess November timelines. There's nothing we can do except waiting. November applicants should be happy at least cause some of us already sat for the exam and it's updated to completed already. I've seen some june/july or even earlier applicants are still receiving their citizenship exam date.

Thank you!

Have the IRCC folks been reading our forum and is the new job with IRCC to speed up the process

I agree with but it is especially hard with the kind of OCD people (myself included) have. I can't concentrate if I don't check the tracker. Though my comment in the September 2020 spreadsheet was intended as sarcasm, it isn't very far from the truth. I do check my status dashboard and ECAS multiple times a day. This is a bad habit and I know it but hey, it is kind of hard to get rid of it.

As for the spreadsheet itself, I update it multiple times a day so I have to watch it everyday.

I sincerely hope everyone waiting here see some progress on their applications soon.

All the very best!

Hey Everyone,

I have applied for Citizenship in Nov 2020(application received by IRCC on 30th Nov) but haven't received AOR yet nor my application was sent back to say that something is wrong with the application, I checked ECAS but nothing there. Will contacting IRCC help or should I wait?

9 months have passed without AOR. You have waited long enough.

Call them and ask WTH is going on with your application.

@admin please change my location to Kitchener. I realize there is no IRCC office in Waterloo. Is there a way to know to which IRCC office our application went to without raising gcms.

There’s Kitchener office serving Kitchener Waterloo and I believe Guelph.

Updated.

Once you receive a test invitation, you can probably infer the office by the email ID from which the test invite was sent.

Otherwise, you can call IRCC and ask them which local office is processing your application.

You'll also find this information in the GCMS notes.
