ECAS Status/Lines Example

[pretoria11]

Hi, can someone please share their ecas lines - just wondering what comes after the first 2, such as:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 18, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on December 12, 2017.

P.s. I just received my AOR email yesterday, on Dec. 11. But as you can see, it shows that my app. was received on Oct. 18.

QUESTION/Comment: I assume "In Process" comes AFTER Line 2 (sent out study guide)?

The status on the first Page will be In Process instead of Application Received.
The details will have a third line.."we started processing your application on Date"

Do they actually mail you a hard copy of the book for "Discover Canada"? or do they just mean they sent you a link to it online?

They send you a link to download the book if they are sending your AOR through email, and if they are sending AOR by mail then they mail the hardcopy. You can order the hardcopy too online for free and it will be sent directly to your address. Hope that helps.

Its a hyperlink on ECAS. They dont send out the book. You have to order it if you want hardcopy unless AOR is sent through Mail.

I ordered a hard copy 10 days ago. It has not arrived yet. I'll keep the forum posted when I get it. Since it's free and they send it for free I think it'll take time.
