March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Lina_Anil]

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.

Awesome, thanks! So I'll just pay attention to the tracker once I'm able to register in a few days. (Oh fyi the application portal I meant is the the page/portal/site we use to fill and submit an online application, so I was curious if it has any relevance after submission but your answer has cleared that up

Hey
I can't find the spreadsheet for march 2023. I clicked on the link in the first post and it brought me to January 2023 spreadsheet instead.

Could this be fixed?

There are separate tabs per month in the Spreadsheet. If you go down in the sheet you can see the monthly tab.

Hi all. Please help settle something. I have lived in Canada for 9 years now. I am double guessing myself because an ignorant a**hole told me my application would get rejected (and was quite rude about it) because I do not meet the residency requirement. Doofus claims that you can only count 365 days of temporary residency (TR) for citizenship (which is correct) and since each day of TR only counts for 0.5 days, this is 182 days as the maximum you can claim towards the minimum 1095 days (which I believe to be incorrect). Thus an applicant would have to be a PR for 2.5 years and a TR for 1 year to be eligible for citizenship (again, I believe this is incorrect).
However, my interpretation of IRCC guidelines, is that you can only get credit for 365 days of TR. Since TR days count for 0.5 of a day, you can become a citizen with 2 years of PR and 2 years of TR in the 5 year prior to submitting your application.
Am I interpreting the rules correctly?

Yes you are interpreting it right. Why rely on anyone, instead use the calculator and do the calculation on your own to see if you eligible or not - https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/rescalc/rescalcwizard.do

I did use the tracker and I was pretty confident when I applied but you know how some people are so frustrating to deal with that you loose all common sense? That was my lunch break.

Don't worry, it's all good from your end.
