I sent my application via Fedex, I guess I can use the Fedex tracking number to know if my application arrive or not, but does the immigration office notify you via (What or which way) that they received your application?

Usually around 2-3 months. Us March peeps might get AOR between May-June. That's the average in normal circumstances, though. I'm not sure how coronavirus has affected the CPC :\

Could you clarify what is AOR what does it stand for? Please let me know. Thank you so much!!

Yes the only way right now to track the app is through the tracking number and give about 2-3 months to get an email notification that they received your app.

Hi guys. I need advice:
I have completed the application package (2 adults and 2 kids). Now I am wondering whether I should send it by regular mail (to mail box 7000) or by courier (to 49 Dorchester Street). And if courier, which one would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

Personally I didn't bother with Fedex and such and just sent using Canada Post. It's still trackable. With the Corona virus and the length of processing, - these 6-7 days difference won't make it or break it. Having said that, if you don't mind paying extra just to "get it there" - go for it.

Is Canada Post XpressPost or Priority considered a courier service?

Hello Everyone,
I will applying for my citizenship this month,just had few questions if anyone could help me please.

How to fill the below travel history :
If you visited more than one country during the same absence, list the first country in 'Destination' and list the other countries in the 'Reason' field.

My destination was India but i had visited Europe for 10 days before landing at my destination.

Thanks in advance..and good luck to all.

anyone please?

anyone please?

It clearly says that you need to specify the name of the country and the reason of the visit & India is not part of the Europe.
