Before you get the Test date, your ECAS status should change to " In Processing" . In general it will takes 20-30 days. During this Pandemic we need to look into Jan-March Applicants the trend .

So is the reason our Signature reflect our stages in the process capturing the timelines
Thanks for the explanation but will the test letter come as an email or paper mail?

Mostly they send email notification with a letter for test with location date and time for test.

But before to send the letter on same day they will update your application in online web that they send you some correspondence on this date for test.

If on your online status nothing is updated it means they didnt send anything...
This is great to know! Thank you!

I guess if its returned/ Rejected Application it should be returned by August. Otherwise this week and previous week will be AOR . Hopefully everyone will be sailing in the same boat together.
Almost 25% got by today based on tracker
Thanks for your reply. It means returned applications reply time is less than as AOR. Right ?

Received AOR!

App sent April 1
App delivered April 6
Family (1 adult and 2 kids)

When I look it up on ECAS, I see two lines, which I think is OK at this point. What's interesting is that it shows my current address that I included in the citizenship application. For my kids however, it shows an additional "mailing address" that I likely included in our PR application way back. Not sure why it's reflected here as a mailing address. Do you think I should worry about changing it? It shows no "mailing address" for me, just the correct "current address".

Wait for one day from AOR and see if it gets updated, if not submit the address change online and it will be corrected in 2 days. I did the same, correcting the address online as it was showing old addresses.

Thank you for your reply! I have two quick questions.

1- Do you think this address change will impact the processing time of my application?
2- If we have let them know we prefer email, does IRCC send us anything by mail? Or is it fully electronic if we select email?

Thanks so much!
