Well that's what it says but the tracker did not update until Mar 19.

Ah thats good to know that it can get updated after with an older date

 

[DanSol]

Ah, good catch, mea culpa. I think only can be resolved by calling IRCC or checking the info carefully again.

Yeah I just reached out to IRCC and they sent me the link to a webform to raise an issue and they specifically asked me to include screenshots. In order to get the error message and take the screenshot, I accessed the link again and now I was able to create the account! Not sure how this happened (although now thinking about it, while on the call the person did mention something updating my contact info while on the call maybe that must've triggered something? Not sure)

What date does tracker shows as "Application filed"?

I am applying online and I have following question for Residence and Tax section:

- Have you ever held travel documents or passports during your 5-year eligibility period?

I have Pakistani passport which I have uploaded online, and also during my 5-year eligibility period I was student in Norway (from 2018-2022).

1- Do I need to upload my Norwegian Residence Card's (which are expired now) in Travel Documents or Passports section?
2- Do I need to translate as well my Norwegian Residence Card to English?

Application timeline



February 16: application Submitted

March 1: AOR recieved

March 5: Created tracker

March 16: Test updated in tracker

March 18: Reciever Test email

March 19: ghost update

March 31: test completed but not updated on tracker

April 2: fingerprint request

April 7: completed fingerprint request

This is what my timeline looks like. But my test hasn't been marked as completed. Anyone have similar case?

We almost have the same timeline aside from the few days differences. The next updates might be back to back and then the oath ceremony invite.

Biodata pages of any current or expired passports that were held in last five years will be enough. I think, Resident card would not be a travel document.

Is everyone getting Fingerprint Request or is it randomly selected applications?
I have given my Fingerprints during my PR application, so will I also get FP request ?

 

[DanSol]

What date does tracker shows as "Application filed"?

February 20. I guess that must be the AOR?

 

[Neyoyo]

Purpose of AOR is to communicate the Application number; since you have received other communications quoting application number your application is received at IRCC and under processing. Probably email is not triggered successfully OR may be sitting in junk/spam folder in your email.

Makes sense.

February 20. I guess that must be the AOR?

Yes it should be.

 

[Preet_1989]

I got FP request. Any suggestion from where I can get it? Is local police station okay to get that?

 

[Chasechs]

You can use the local police and the Commissionaires in your area.
