After going through this forum, after seeing the trends and analyzing the data, I came to some conclusions on how IRCC is working on our citizenship applications.
- As govt know that they would receive many applications, they selected X number of officers and trained them to work on C-6 applications. Some officers are left behind to complete work on pre C-6 applications.
- this is the reason why post C-6 applicants are getting their AOR's now.
- What happens to our citizenship application once it is received by IRCC.
- "Receiving Section" received the application - where in Mike, Ryan etc., and other are working, they then hand over it to "Screening Section".
- "Screening Section" would open your applications and check for the completeness of applications. They do not look into what you have written, they would verify whether your application is complete or not for further processing. If your application is missing something, they would attach a letter and send it back to you. If your application is complete, then they would hand over it to next section. *** Based on my observation, if your application was delivered before October 13/16 and your application is not returned by now, there are fair chances that this check is passed and waiting at the next step. ***
- "Data Entry". Their job is to enter your information into thier computer system. At this stage, AOR e-mails are triggered, for applications where e-mail address is not specified, they would be sent to another department for printing AOR's and sent out. Also, at this stage, request to send "Discover Canada" book is also triggered.
- Now your file sitting in queue and waiting.
- Next stage: When an Officer is ready to accept new application to work on, your application would be picked up, based on the Received Date etc.,
- this is the stage Officer would request CRA and CBSA for your records.
- all requests would be queued and sent to the respective offices, information would received and processed electronically.
- Officer reviews the file once the information is processed, he adds his notes and transfers your application for local office.
***I'm not sure if local office would be requesting the CRA & CBSA records or Sydney office***
Okay, this is what I thought, how IRCC is working.
Does it makes sense?
