May 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[wink]

Thank you. And in terms of how close im to the test, is there anything that can be concluded from this?

By looking at the data for the months Jan-Apr, my guess is that you might get test invite in another 40 days or so.

Do they ask for the citizenship test? by email or? at some point of the process
or do we have to book by ourself and give the test?

You will be notified over an email and will be given period of window between which you can take the test. During that period you need to just visit the provided link and and take the test. You don't need to book in-advance for a slot or anything like that.

Should I just re-apply? I haven't received my AOR for my application and online it says they are already processing June 30th. ( my application was mid May)
Submitted Web forms but same generic reply.
My travel history is a little complicated ( daily travel to US for 7 months but came back same day and slept in Canada, I am claiming those against my physical preference)

looking for some guidance

hello, your travel history will not have had any affect on your AOR unless you didn’t meet the physical presence requirement.

Did you apply with a paper application? Did you put in and selected your email address as mode of communication? Did you put in correct email address? If you applied on paper you can try logging into the old ecas system using your UCI number. If they did issue your AOR you’ll be able to see your application in ecas.

The decision to reapply solely rests with you, but I reckon you can do it when you’ve exhausted all other options.

An update:

• Background check shows as completed on October 8th
• Also, my residence is in Gatineau (QC). Not sure how much of a difference there is between Ontario and Quebec in the processing times. If so, where is it slower?

Thank you

Hi everyone. I have read through all the posts and wonder if anyone may be able to shed some light on my situation.
I applied online in May and received my AOR email on September 1st. Since then nothing has changed! I tried to log in using the ECAS which people have been mentioning but when I enter me details it says “we are not able to identify you using the information you provided”

I have triple checked and tried numerous times but nothing.

anyone else have this issue?

I appreciate any assistance.
