January 2018 - Citizenship Applications

[Quink]

When you're looking at the averages, be aware of how many "urgent applications" there are in a month. If there are a few in there that got an AOR in only a few days, it will drastically reduce the "overall average" until a more statistically significant amount of data points are present. Also, those who haven't yet received an AOR are not included in the running average, and when they do they automatically bump up the overall average.

Therefore, especially early in the months, the posted averages in the spreadsheet are lowballed just due to the nature of the calculations made with an incomplete data set. It's hard to work out exactly by how much, but I'd make a quick estimate that the average is under reality by 1-2 weeks.

That's a great point- when looking at the averages, also pay attention to the 'Max' number of days- that will give you a better sense of how long it can actually take. The averages should serve as a ballpark estimate, while keeping in mind that not only is every applicant different, so is every office. It's a human process and it'll get done sooner or later, we'd just all prefer that it happened on the sooner side of things!

hello everyone
received a letter from Canada citizenship that my application has been received. is this the AOR?

 

[antonette28]

Leave it as it is. It will be corrected once your application goes to "In Process"; I had the same problem with my ECAS but it was corrected later. Good Luck.

Thank you... Because i was worried awhile ago so i updated it to correct address. I hope it will not affect the processing....

Yup! "AOR" stands for "Acknowledgment Of Receipt".

it won't affect in anyway.. in fact i updated it too through web form and then my mailing address was corrected but they deleted my home address from ECAS but once my app went to "In Process", it was all fine. you will only see home address and there won't be any mailing address in ECAS once your application goes to "In Process".
