I applied for citizenship in January 2024 but because my PR card got expired in july 2023 and I feel I might travel in future But not sure how long can citizenship process takes. My concern is will my citizenship application be delayed or affected in regards to processing time now that I have applied for PR card renewal?
I heard they put your citizenship application on hold till they finish your PR renewal process first
Not sure if this is true or not

I did get an AOR on Jan 29 but they are asking for additional information about why my passport not covering the period. I did reply them but they are asking for more information now. Not sure how to or what to answer.

If you remove personal info and elaborate the issue, people in the forum will be able to provide you better answers.
Currently the info you provided is a bit vague for anyone to help.

You can check the forums here if someone has the same problem or you can call IRCC to check what they need exactly.

Also, you can join the group and maybe someone has advice for you

Hello, I submitted my application Jan 31st and received application submission letter on Feb 14th. How long after application submission letter does one receive AOR?

I had a similar request for the first five months of my qualifying period. I explained that I renewed my passport, gave them the previous passport number along with a screenshot of my old ETA visa number, and dates of travel during this period. I had a ghost update yesterday so patiently waiting to see what's next. Can you elaborate on what you are unsure about?

I believe this is your AOR
If your email is coming from Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca
And it has your UCI & Application no.
Then this is your AOR.

The Subject of the email is something similar to this

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada: Information about XXXXXXX Correspondence Id: XXXXXXX


You should then wait to register in the tracker

Citizenship Tracker - After AOR - Should be registered 48-72 Hours

Check your Spam/Junk Folder

AOR is received from Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca

Any e-mails sent to you by IRCC will end in “@cic.gc.ca” or “@international.gc.ca.” Please add these to your “safe senders” list in your email program and check the junk mail folder in case important emails get filtered.

Thank you for replying. The letter I received says:

Subject: Application for Canadian Citizenship

"This is to acknowledge receipt of your application for Canadian Citizenship. We will review your
application and supporting documents and will contact you if additional information is required."

Shall I assume this to be AOR?

Additionally, I think I forgot to attach my old passport copy. How shall I go about it? Can I provide it before they ask for it to avoid delays?

Yes this is the AOR

You should register the tracker now

for your old passport, you need to raise a webform and attach it
