Hi All,

I sent my application on 1st Aug 2020, it was received on 7th Aug and returned today for missing a checkbox in section 16.

Can I tick the checkbox manually and send the package back or do I need to print the application form again?

Thanks.
Sorry to hear that. Did they return the application in the same packet that you had send the application with the same tracking number? Was the application sent back to your current address or mailing address? I am asking because my current address field and mailing address field has different values in the original application.

Application sent on August 4th, 2020 and received on August 11th, 2020.
Returned back on January 8th, 2021 due to Language requirement -
Examples of the types of language evidence that can be submitted include:

  1. You attended or are currently attending a secondary or post-secondary education program in English or French, either in Canada or abroad, including:
    • A degree, diploma, certificate or official transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program showing you studied in English or French, in Canada or abroad.
    • If the original document is in a different language, include:
      • a letter from the school showing that the language of instruction was in English or French along with (including an official translation of the original document, if needed)
      • the address and contact information (phone number) of the education institution.
However, I studied in Canada. I included my degree certificate and transcript then sent the application back to Sydney the same day.
I got a notification from UPS that the application delivered now.

It means that IRCC has received your application, and has started looking at it.

When ECAs shows the Second line 2, then that means that you have received the AOR. As others have done in these posts, contact IRCC to get your application number. See my post here.

Also, from the ECAS page where it shows your mailing address, click on the button to update the address, and follow the instructions to change your mailing address to your home address.

Good luck.

Also, consider following the spreadsheet here. Provide your details on this forum, and someone can update your data on the tracker.

Any information on this will be of help!

Hello Folks
I am August applicant because my application was delivered on August 08th; however I never received AOR by mail and today I was just checking the application status to try my luck and I find out that it says Citizenship application received does it mean everything is good and soon I will get AOR or if they start processing. Moreover when I tried to search for my application status with my surname (which also on my PR card and other immigration documents) I was not able to find the status but when I put my given name as my surname then I was able to find the status, is there a glitch or error in their system. also I would mention that my surname is not on the main page of my passport because it was added later on and I did had trouble getting study permit extension with my surname on it as Canadian immigration only accept what is mention on passport main page but this issue was resolved and my all other immigration docs have surname on it.

any help and clarity is appreciated on this matter.

@Bharat_87 Sorry to hear that.
May I ask if they send it back to the address you mentioned in citizenship form or the address you had in their file for PR application?
(I am asking because I am worried what happens if someone has moved to a new address at the time he applies for citizenship. Which address will they return the application to?)

Hi Ochia,
My application was also returned for the same reason which was quite unlucky, as I wasted so much time and had to resubmit. Guess you are going to be a January applicant now:( Anyways, hope you get your AOR soon.
