April 2021 - Citizenship applications

[aman_78671]

Online applicants have experienced issues accessing old ECAS Client Application Status and only can check status in the new dashboard which is the link you have provided.

I did not send my application online, I sent it through paper only.

Yes, it is a change in the upper corner date (updated) and when you go down to the Application history there is no change in what was showing there before or no action waiting on you.

Thanks sting faith I will keep you updated if there is any news

Then you probably has access to old ECAS, you just need your UCI, last name, date of birth and country of birth to access it.

Yes, I submitted fingerprints on July 28, they were received on Aug 18 and BG was set to completed on Aug 19.

Thanks for your reply. This means 8 weeks after the ghost update we are expecting that they will ask for a fingerprint. Did you receive any test dates after your BG was completed on Aug. 18?

Our test status was updated this morning. Two small updates:

a) "Citizenship Test status has been updated to In progress" - 28 September
b) "scheduled to take citizenship test online between Oct 4 and Oct 24" - 4th October (post dated update)

BG was completed already. Rest of the boxes except Citizenship Ceremony are "in progress".

No update on ECAS.

We got our test schedule email this morning from :

DN Cit MIS Scheduling / Convocation MIS Cit RN (IRCC) <ircc.dncitmisscheduling-convocationmiscitrn.ircc@cic.gc.ca>

No, unfortunately my local office is Calgary and the average time from (IP in ECAS) BG completed to Test is around 12-18 months as per the spreadsheet, I sent a note to my MP and the response he got was that my application is being processed within the normal time frame (12 months) and that I am in the queue to receive citizenship, they advised that if I haven't received the test invitation by March 2, 2022 then he can contact IRCC office again.

Do you by any chance have any idea what this email address is for Scarborough applicants??

The difference is only three letters in the email address after the DN MIS (Mississauga) - DN SCR (Scarborough) - DN NGF (Niagara Falls), etc.

Why a huge disparity in processing times? I was wondering , if you're aware as to where applications from Ottawa get processed?

I have added your information to the spreadsheet!! There are some early 2021 April applicants that have not received AOR yet, maybe wait a couple of more weeks.

Thank you ~ I check my emails every day, still got nothing.

Hello! I'd like to add my info to the tracker, I'm starting to think I might have accidentally deleted my AOR or they are just taking too long~

Location: Montreal, Quebec
Physical Presence Days: 1,185.5
Application: Single
Application sent: April 2, 2021
Delivered: April 2, 2021 (Online)
5 Year Eligibility: 2016/04 - 2021/04
AOR: Pending

I applied since March 4, no confirmation email no AOR. Nobody knows exactly, everyone is just giving assumptions. How do they send the AOR, is it via the application portal or a direct email? I'm planning to submit a paper application and include a printout of my online application.

I tried using the UCI in old ECAS but it says unable to find my application. this is so strange.
On the other hand, the online tracker was last updated on Sep 14, 2021, and it says that the application is in progress effective June 2 onwards.

They sent AOR by email, have you checked your spam/junk folder or tried to call IRCC and verify your email address on file?

No idea, I have been creating a spreadsheet with test email address that applicants have reported, but I don't have any information about Ottawa at this moment. There is a thread in this forum about Ottawa applicants, that might help.
