    Wondering if anyone had any idea of the average wait time from AOR to In Process for proof of citizenship applications?

    AOR to In Process time for Proof of Citizenship (Minor)

    Holidays will presumably slow things down a bit, of course, this month and next I suppose. Hopefully all of our applications move into In Process sooner rather than later!

    Proof of Citizenship Tracking thread?

    Hi all, I know there are many monthly tracker threads for those who are applying for Citizenship. Are there any tracking threads for those who applied for Proof of Citizenship to compare notes with other members on processing times? Just curious as I would love to be able to get a better...

    AOR to In Process time for Proof of Citizenship (Minor)

    There is only a Canadian Consulate office in NY, no embassy. In any case, they don't get involved in immigration matters unless it's an emergency. I thought of calling IRCC using the backdoor method to get connected, however I presume that as soon as I start asking questions about my case/give...

    AOR to In Process time for Proof of Citizenship (Minor)

    My application (for my child) was received on Oct. 6th, AOR sent on Nov. 3rd....after that no move into In Process so hoping to hear something soon on that...I'm a born Canadian, living in the US now. I think sending the application from the US slows it down a little bit, but thankfully not at...

    AOR to In Process time for Proof of Citizenship (Minor)

    As said above, I applied from the USA...so application was sent to Sydney---from there, I don't know where it's sent after. I also applied for Proof of Citizenship (for a minor child) as mentioned above so there's no oath, but it was a pretty straightforward application I believe all things...

    AOR to In Process time for Proof of Citizenship (Minor)

    Just curious as to others experiences with their timeline between AOR and IP for Proof of Citizenship? Application was sent from the USA. Application sent Oct. 06 AOR dated Nov. 02 I figured it's at least an average of a month's waiting time for the application to begin processing? Or is it...

    Child born to a Canadian Citizen outside Canada

    In the instruction guide (that I linked to in a prior reply) under "Gathering Documents" it states to have documents certified if applying for the first time. On the application that you linked to above, it also says this near the top of the page in bold. Luckily for you, your application was...

    Child born to a Canadian Citizen outside Canada

    I can only tell you my experience---I had the same question when I was filling out the form for my daughter, and was advised on here to get the photocopy of the passport notarized since it was one of the identifying documents being submitted. And also that because it was a "first time...

    Child born to a Canadian Citizen outside Canada

    I received the paper AOR today in the mail...7 days after it posted on ECAS that they had sent it out. At least now I have an official UCI number.

    Child born to a Canadian Citizen outside Canada

    Thanks for your response! I just received an update on ECAS and it's now saying that on Nov. 3rd they mailed me out correspondence acknowledging receipt of my application...so looking out for that in the mail...will probably take me another week to receive it in the States. Glad to see progress...

    Delivered on Oct 13 still no AOR

    If it makes you feel any better, my application was delivered on October 3rd, and I haven't received an AOR as of yet. It was only this morning I was able to see an update in ECAS by using the IMM 5441 number (receipt number of online payment)...hoping to get the physical AOR mailed out to me in...

    Child born to a Canadian Citizen outside Canada

    Update to my post--- I was able to track it online using the IMM 5401 # (the reciept number from my online payment)--- It shows that my application was received...does this mean it is under processing now, and submitted properly, not going to be sent back? Or is the AOR still something...

    Child born to a Canadian Citizen outside Canada

    I'm in the same boat as you---still waiting for the AOR. I also neglected to fill in the email address info....if I'd known (or if it was stated on the form itself) what the purpose of asking for my email address was, I would have surely included it. It's now occurring to me that since I never...

    Child born to a Canadian Citizen outside Canada

    Congrats on getting it processed so quickly! I'm still waiting for the AOR...I know it was only re-delivered to Sydney not even two weeks ago so I have some time to wait still... Hate the whole "hanging in the air not knowing anything" until then. Hopefully I get the acknowledgement of receipt...
