January 2019 - Citizenship Application

[Angelcat]

This is my interpretation or understanding of the process. It may be wrong.

• The Sydney office sends you AOR email on a first come first serve basis. Also, it depends on when Canada post delivered / who received / how the applications are stacked / how they are taken out and who filed it. So, there might be a plus or minus 1 week variation in FIFO.
• After sending you AOR, Sydney office sends your application to your nearest visa office. I believe, they are sending physical paper application. So, now it depends on when Sydney office mailed the application (I believe they do in batches), how far is your visa office from Sydney, when they receive it, who receives it, who handles your application, etc. So, to se "in process" it takes again a week or two or even three based on the factors I just mentioned.
• Afterwards it's wholly based on your visa office (Ottawa in my case). A lot of factors again - work force, work load, efficiency of the officers application complexity, vacations, etc.

Waouh it is so well explained . Difficult to say that you are not right. Thanks dear . I am waiting my "i

Is it normal that parents application status is "in process" but child's application status is still "received"?

Any idea anyone?

One possibility is that it might have gone to your spam. If not, they might have mistyped your email address. Call them immediately and correct it as every communication will be through email here after.

I think, probably Vancouver then.
Unlike Spouse sponsorship application, you will not get second AOR email from the Visa office. But I think your test invite letter will have that visa office information.

Checked now - our application has changed to "In Process" as of March 26th. Praise God.
