I couldn't either until I received another email a week later telling me I can follow progress through the tracker!
March 2023 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter shiremag
- Start date
It's so frustrating seeing so many applicants who applied after March 15th getting AOR, but I still haven't gotten it. I'm happy for those who got it, to be sure. But just a bit frustrated for myself and those like me. Heck, there are even online applicants from near beginning of March who haven't received AOR. How exactly does this work?!!
Many have missed their AORs as they’ve accidentally landed in the junk mailbox. Poke around there.

If AOR is received, may be we can assume the background check won’t be delayed because they are not dealt with IRCC?
I don't think IRCC has such an automated system that things will automatically get triggered and other org will start the process. With limited manpower surely it's going to get impacted.
Yes. I resend my application around March ending when it was returned. I initially mailed the documents in January.
visitor is an immigration status.
Take a look at the guide:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-0002-application-canadian-citizenship-under-subsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html
Under question 13:
- Tell us which countries you have held status in, and exactly what status you held or currently hold (student, employment/worker, visitor, refugee/protected person, permanent resident or citizen).
visitor is an "immigration" status, it is not an "immigrant" status.

Did any of the Paper Applications folks receive their AORs? I have a Paper Application (for a Family of 3), it was delivered on March 7th, 2023. It has now been more than 45 days but no AOR. I am regularly checking my emails (including Spam).
Is there any way to call IRCC (I understand they have a strike and the wait times would be quite long) and ask them about the status by giving the old UCI Number (from the PR)?

until they give you an application number (at AOR) the application is not in the system, even if you could get to them on the phone, they can't help you.
UCI remains the same. As you are a paper applicant try to see, if you can find anything using ECAS(https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do) another tracker for paper applicant. If nothing comes up, you will have to wait as Paper is manual work and strike needs to be over for it.
