Are you able to access ECAS? I have seen several online applicants report ECAS as not accessible.

What is ECAS?

I am able to login and see my progress from the link that IRCC has provided me in my IP email.

I applied online, and IRCC send me an email to create an account to check my citizenship application status.

This is ECAS Client Application Status , you just need your UCI, last name, DOB and place of birth. If you have access it will probably show "application received", the change to In Process it will take from 2 - 6 months.

I checked in the other thread - AOR's are only starting to come in now for online applications submitted in February. so it's not surprising or concerning that we didn't get ours yet. We were apparently supposed to have received a confirmation email though. Mine could have landed in Spam, I didn't check it at the time (as I didn't think I needed to be on the lookout for one), by now it would have been deleted. When I log back in the online system, though, I am told that it was submitted successfully.

Agree on the frustration part - I am patient and it's okay if this takes a year or two even, just want to know that everything is in order and that they have my application. It really would be nice if they could just confirm that.
Finally I got AOR from them

In that case, your IP update has no meaning. The new tracker defaults to IN PROGRESS (not process) for all 4 fields. Its different from In process in ECAS. Pre tracker days (and even now), In process is when your file is transferred from Sydney office to local office. It appears to be clear that online is taking a different approach. There is no way to tell because you dont know when your file is moved to local office now, without ECAS status.

Here is the glossary of what each status in ECAS means.....

Status of your applicationExplanation
RECEIVED

(A decision has not been made yet.)
Application In Process
Your file has been sent to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) office closest to your home for processing.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada officials will complete the necessary steps to make a decision on your application. If additional information or documents are needed, you will be contacted.
If you are between the ages of 18 and 54, you will have to meet the knowledge and language requirements for citizenship. The citizenship test will determine if you meet the knowledge requirements for citizenship. You will be notified by mail about the time and place of your test. Adult applicants who are 55 years old or older are not required to take the citizenship test.
An interview with a citizenship officer or citizenship judge may also be required. Should this be necessary, you will be notified by mail about the time and place of your interview.

If you wish to withdraw your application, you must advise us before a decision on your application has been made.

Applicant Notified
You will be notified by mail about the decision on your citizenship application.
If you meet the requirements, you will be invited to a citizenship ceremony where you will take the oath of citizenship and receive a certificate of Canadian citizenship.
If you do not meet the requirements, you will be informed in writing.
