Can someone advice me please? :( :( :(

Should I wait for another 2 weeks or should I re-apply? At the moment, the agent gave me 2 options. Its either lost or returned because the file is incomplete.

I tracked my application. It was received and signed by Mike in Sydney, NS office. So how can it be lost?

Does anyone have a similar situation like me still waiting for eCAS update? FYI, my wife has submitted her application and Im a citizen already

I really appreciate some suggestions at this point..

I would give another 5 business days (so till next Tuesday).Then call again to find out whether they have any record then. After that if still no record, I would suggest sending a new one.

Maybe the returned mail was lost. So your application was returned, and on the way it's gone. Better send another one now. Other wise after waited for 3 more months then send a new one. If you send another one, then they found your first package, there is nothing wrong.

I called the call centre and agent told me that they had sent my application, she did not mentioned any specific date. I called them on August 26. I am not sure if Vancouver office has received my application.
 
Hi Summer2014

What's your timeline? Are you still waiting like me?

Can you share some info?

I sent mine on June 2, 2014 to Sydney, NS and CIC received the app on June 3.

Thanks

Did cic offer to send you the e-book from discover Canada?
No, she just advised tht i will b receiving soon.
 
I have sent a ATIP request for my application and received the reply today stating

"Following a thorough search of our information holdings, I regret to inform you that no records were found that respond to your request (no citizenship file). Please clarify which immigration file you are looking for and provide the file number of the immigration file you wish to receive. To obtain your file number, please contact our Call Centre at 1-888-242‑2100."

Seems like I need to prepare again my application. Not happy, this will delay my process by at least 6 months just because of lost application... :-(
 
sorry to hear that, fortunately the timeline started to be very short. according to the spreadsheet, some cases started to get their e-case active after 14 days only and another case after 35 days only. it is a very good sign ans losing the application may cause a faster process to your application. please do not be sad, God always does the best for us.

Mine was received on June 23rd. The thing is most apps received around my time got Ecas updated..
I think u should wait for only 1 week instead of 2 or longer since u ve been waiting 3 months already.
U can send the second one just in case the first one got lost or smt like that. It d not hurt if they find the furst one. But make sure u say it s the second app since u check w the call centre n was advised to send another app.
 
Thanks Summer2014....

I think you are right.... I have already prepared a 2nd one and kept it ready to mail...........But this is really insane....all my 3 months of waiting time has gone waste...
:(:(

In the meantime, I have contacted my local MP to seek his assistance in this matter......

Fingers crossed.....

Hey rayman,

While I am waiting for eCAS update, I have received an e-mail today from CIC automated system as following:

This is an automated message. Please DO NOT RESPOND to this message.

This confirms that your application for Canadian Citizenship has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2014/06/19.

When your application has been reviewed and has met basic eligibility, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will invite you to a knowledge test, interview or ceremony, if applicable. Please visit our Web site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/ciizenship/cit-test.asp for information to prepare for these events.

It appears CIC acknowledges the application receive but did not update the eCAS yet. CIC may have started this new e-mail process recently.. Interesting..
