It took 88 days for me to receive the AOR email (which basically means I got entered in the system). While I was waiting, even people who had sent their application more than a month after me had received their AOR. I know it can be frustrating. But what can we do ? CIC is definitely not " first...

Your application is fine. If they return your application, you receive it within 3 or 4 weeks max. They open all the applications upon reception and check for completeness. If incomplete, your application is returned right away (thus you receive it within 3 -4 weeks or so). If it is complete...

Yes do that ! :D :D Bring on some magic this week ! Thanks ! Your time is getting close. Bear in mind that I am at the bottom of the December pile. If my file is now in process, that means everybody else at the bottom of that December pile will also see in process in a few days. That...

Thanks guys for all your kind words !! :D :D ;D

Not so fast tds69us ! I am the champion at the waiting game here ! It took me 85 days from AOR to IP. Not to mention that it had taken 88 days to get AOR. That is 173 days in total just for 2 steps, no one here can beat that ! :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D

Yes Finally ! I got updated today. Cuz I checked my ecas multiple times yesterday and I was still stuck on Received. So I waited exacltly 85 days after AOR to see IP. Therefore I have just set a new waiting record that I can brag about :D :D :D :D :D

Somebody, roll the drums for me !!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :

How so ? Suppose you take the oath on Canada Day (July 1st). You are eligible to apply for passport 2 days later (July 3rd). You apply for urgent processing (extra money) which will take a day or 2. Therefore you have your passport in your hands by July 6th the latest. At that point, your...

Can somebody confirm that we just had our first Dec. applicant been issued an oath date for July 1st ? :D :D This is a bit fishy though, since CIC usually notifies 15-20 days prior, not 40 days... wd1, can you confirm that your info in the spreadsheet is correct or not ?

I am from Ottawa too. My timeline is in my signature. However, for some reason, my file is still stuck in Sydney. :-X :-X

I agree. Puda needs to have admin rights. I don't know when Asagalen is coming back... Dudette, I need your magic tomorrow :D :D :D

Congrats Denver !!! :D ;D That means there is still hope for some of us. I see that you waited 71 days exactly since AOR, which was also the max waiting time. Me I am already on Day 73. So I definitely will break that record :D , which gives me a good reason to celebrate and be happy ;D ;D...

WOW I am so happy for you ! :D Coolguysam don't you remember him/her ? He/she has the record AOR waiting time (100 days) in this group and even submitted a 2nd application at some point and then received AOR of the 1st one just 2 or 3 days later...

I wish man ! I really wish ! :D I am exactly 64 days since my eCAS got activated (Received). So one week away from that 71 days maximum. If I count from AOR instead, then I am at Day 67. Luna-Toronto, I really need your magic right here and now ! :D :D

You have the answer to that in your last post (assuming it is correct) ! :D "They update on Tuesday , but it takes a couple of days to show"

Today is Tuesday. So I assume no news is good news ?

We have exactely the same dates for AOR and eCAS Received. I am still stuck on Received. Your change to In Process gives me hope :D

It has been opened already. Just not acknowledged and entered in the system yet (therefore can't be tracked by a call center agent). They open all the applications and first check for completeness. The incomplete ones are returned right away (the applicant receives it back within 3 weeks or 1...

I suggest option 3: wait. Checking the completeness of applications is the first thing CIC does. Even before sending out acknowledgements (AOR). So if AORs take 3 weeks now, then returned applications should take much less (on or 2 weeks, not sure). In fact, according to what I have observed...

They send applications back pretty quicky (within 3 weeks). So if your application is deemed incomplete you'll receive it back by June 1st. If you don't see your application back in your mailbox by that time, then you are fine. Is it the signature page that you forgot to include ? If Yes then...
