February 2021 - Citizenship applications

[wjmwjm1989]

So you mentioned that you got AOR, did you get that by email?
If you click on "Application Received" link (in ECAS), how many lines do you see? Can you copy the content here?

Yes, we got the AOR by email. I only see two lines once I clicked "Application Received", here is the content:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on February 19, 2021.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on February 24, 2021.

Thanks!

Usually when your application is in process, there is a third line "Started processing your application on xxxxxx", can you give IRCC a call and inquire about your UP request?

I see. Thank you! so do you think this is a good time to call them? Or should we wait for a couple of days before we call?

It's really up to you, since you requested urgent processing, I would assume you want it ASAP

Added. As for the difference in processing time, it's still not clear. While 5 people who applied in December 2020 got test invites, others didn't event get AOR. Time will tell

Hi, can a married person apply for citizenship alone? My husband is not applying for his till April (cos he got his PR after I did). Do I have to wait for him so we apply together or can I just apply myself online?

Yes, as always the CIC website is the source of truth: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-0002-application-canadian-citizenship-under-subsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html
