I applied for my citizenship application on 25th March by normal post. They said it will reach in 5 days. I haven't got any update yet

Its been full 1 month today since my application, and i am still waiting for my AOR.

Is it possible that they sent email to wrong id, is it possible to validate any way. Do anyone get their AORs be mail as well or just an email?

You can always check their ecas system (google it!) using the number on the front side of your PR card. It is usually activated after 2 days after receiving the AOR. However, it is unlikely that they send the AOR to a wrong address. Maybe some applicants need more security checks than others because of their ethnic/religious/national background.

Hello Friends,

Just wanted to share my timeline.

Application Sent : 15th March 2015
Received by Courier : 17th March 2015
Confirmation Email from Immigration : 9th April 2015

Is the confirmation in email is being called AOR .. ? Also I had a question, how should be preparing for Citizenship test. Is it a big deal that I need to start preparing now .?

I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks Much for sharing information

I am just curious since in the AOR it says"This is to acknowledge receipt of your application for Canadian Citizenship. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will review your application and supporting documents and will contact you if additional information is required. When your application has been reviewed and has met basic eligibility, CIC will invite you to a knowledge test, interview and/or ceremony, as applicable."

Doesnt it mean they are still reviewing all the documents and the AOR is just an acknowledgement of receipt?

Hi All,

I have sent my applications on January 25, I have checked my eCAS on April 1 and got the following message:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on March 17, 2015

I haven't received though an email for AOR, is this normal? what does my status look like?

Yes it is. The only difference is that the completeness check is already performed and you have submitted all desired documents. Now they would review all documents in detail and will ask for additional documents / explanation etc if needed.

Now your application will not be returned unless you have a major issue.

So receiving this AOR is a step closer to citizenship.

Thanks for the information, that is what i was looking for that what number i can use to check ecas Status. Except for one change it didn't accepted the number on front of PR card, but instead it accepted the number on the back of PR Card along with barcode starting with PA.

I checked its still not activated, so i guess i have to wait few more days

For those who received AOR were u able to check e-cas using your application no. that was included in the AOR email?

You should be able to do that using your UCI number (which is your PR card number most likely). However it takes a few days for ECAS to update. As per cic website, it happens normally on Tuesday.
