What sort of questions were asked? Are they super specific related to dates and historically important people, or are they more related to geography and the structure of governance?

Would you mind adding me to the spreadsheet: Application Type: Family (2 Adults) Application Sent: October 12th, 2017 Application Received: October 16th, 2017 AOR Received: November 16th, 2017 Application Processing Start-Date: December 11th, 2017 Test Date: Still Awaiting Location of...

That's great to hear - I think the best course of action remains to contact them and advise them regardless.

This is heart-breaking and wrong on so many levels. Marriage takes commitment, and this is the text-book case of how our values as a society are too "me"-centered now.

Thanks for the update, would you have the link where the form is located?

Her PR reflects her married name, and has so from the start. Even her first passport was issued on her married name, so this is why it is slightly disconcerting to receive the email addressed to her maiden name.

Hello Fellow Travelers! My wife just got her AOR in the email, but we're concerned that IRCC used her maiden name to address her in the email versus her name-after-marriage. We have been trying to contact IRCC on their helpline, but have not been able to get through. Our concern is that they're...

I know, which is why it kind of threw me off when I started seeing people commenting on having received AOR eventhough the initial timeline was 30-40 days from IRCC's receipt (which for me was Oct 16th).

Is ECAS being updated when people get their AOR? Any idea on that?

I have white-listed the CIC domain now, although that doesn't preclude the possibility that a potential AOR notification was deleted in the past. Checking ECAS is doing nothing for me either, since it's unable to find anything using my Client ID # and other details. To me this seems like a case...

Thank you for the help - this was very useful! I have white-listed the CIC domain now. Let's hope the AOR wasn't deleted from previous SPAM folder erasures. Going to check the Status Update / ECAS system to see if there has been any update.

Good Afternoon, From my understanding, if you have submitted an email address with the Citizenship application the AOR will be emailed to you by IRCC. If that is indeed the case, how do we make sure that that specific email doesn't end up in the SPAM filter? I get hundreds of SPAM emails a day...

From what I have read, you only get refunded the $100 portion that belongs to the "Right to Citizenship" fee. The other portion ($530) relates to the processing fee, which is forfeited since the application was in fact processed and you were found to be ineligible.

From the replies I have read, it seems that the bigger issue is if you forgot to get the stamp from the photographer versus forgetting to put your name. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed on this and wait for the AOR (hopefully).

That's my theory as well. I suspect the same applies if you apply with your opposite-gender spouse.

I would suggest having the second photo restamped as well. Print your name on both.

I would personally suggest filling in your application with the residential address put as the one in Regina since that is where your driver's license, etc will be pointing towards. You can however put in a separate/different mailing address, perhaps a friend's, etc, that will be more permanent.

Sorry, just went through the thread and saw the outcome. Hopefully some kindred spirit at IRCC will print our names on the back of the photographs since the photographer's information is all there. In the meantime, I will update this thread if I get an AOR. Here's to hoping!

To clarify: the photos were stamped with the requirements on the photographer's side, i.e. name and address of the photographing agency as well as the date stamp. It's just that I forgot to print our (i.e. the applicants') names on the back of the photographs. Would you have any insight from...
