Applied online March 15th
AOR Email Received: March 30th

Also, how long do I have to wait to create the tracker account, seems like its not picking up my information?

If you ain’t applying with minor, just do online. Feb applicants already getting Citizenship Test email.

yeah, someone at my work, got the Test mail yesterday.

Updated to include AOR. I figure the ecas probably won't be available until after the weekend, but we'll see how it goes. Oh, and for those curious about the timing, the email arrived at around 11.30am.

Hi all, just got an update.

Finally able to create a tracker today (March 30) after 2 days from AOR (March 28).
Status says
Language skills - In progress
Physical presence - In progress
Background verification - In progress
Prohibitions - In progress

Just want to check if this what we should see at the start?

Thank you to those you will answer.

Hi everyone,
What exactly is the difference between Ecas v Tracker v Application portal?

There seems to be quite a few portals (I've heard of ecas before but I thought that was for PR paper applications only but it seems to also be relevant to the citizenship application as well)...

Which one is the one that we should follow for updates? Does each portal have it's own type of updates?

Thanks!

ECAS (https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do) only works for Paper Citizenship Application. The statuses are few(Application received, In Progress, Decision Made, Completed).
New Tracker(https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/) has detail info about each stage. Works for both paper and online application.

Makes sense to follow New Tracker.

I am not sure about Application Portal.
