Just checked status online and didn't find anything. Any idea, on what time during Tuesday CIC posts the updates online?

All,

how long does it take for the letter to arrive?

My e-Cas said it was mailed July 19th. I am still waiting to see it in the post.

It takes almost three months to get acknowledgment letter + Discover Canada book (cont from the day they received your application).
When your application was received by CIC?

Based on the current processing time, it takes nearly three months.

But I am little confused. Usually application receipt date and acknowledgement letter mailing dates are same on ecas status for most applicants. If they mailed the acknowledgement letter on July 19, 2013 and received your application on the same day, it is very unrealistic to see status on ecas now, I mean so soon.

Here is what is on my e-cas says

"We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on May 6, 2013.

We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on May 6, 2013. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

We started processing your application on July 19, 2013."

I called CIC and they said the letter was actually mailed out on July 19th(same date as application processing), I haven't got it yet so just wondering what the mailing timelines were like.

Thanks,

Awesome man...Looks like the turn around time for acknowledgement is now around 2 months, which is not bad at all....

Now lets hope that you don't get any RQ. RQs are painful things to have.

Do you know who applied after the consent thing came up in the forms, got their files transferred to local office.

How long did it take after their application went into process.
