Separate notification wont come for "In process" status change.
Thanks. So when I check my status online I see all 4 (language skills, physical presence, background verification and prohibitions) are showing as In Progress, so it's safe to conclude that my file is now in progress? I received my AOR yesterday.

All 4 of them defaults to "In progress" in the tracker at the beginning. Test and oath remains at "Not started". Check here in ECAS to know the status of when your file is in process. Since you got the AoR yesterday you should see "Application Received" and when you click, there should be line, 1. We received your application......
Line 2. adds when your application changes to "in process" from "Application Received" in ECAS.

ECAS and citizenship tracker are different. tracker was deployed very recently. Hope it helps!

Very helpful, thanks so much.
Do you also have a status at the bottom of the page saying: "Application filed We have received your application and have begun to process your application. Information about next steps and required action items will be coming soon" ?

Hi guys. I wanted to add my application timeline on here.
Location: Toronto ON
Type: Single (Paper application)
Physical presence: 1200 days
App sent: May 5, 2021
App received: May 11, 2021
AOR: August 10, ‘21

Quick question, y’all. So I just utilized the ECAS resource for the first time & I realized that under application history, it says that they received and started processing my application on July 2, 2021. However, I only got my AOR on the 10th of August. Does the application actually start getting processed before AOR is sent out to most people, or should I be happy that my application is moving “faster” than CIC’s correspondence with me?

Are you referring to the tracker where you can see status of brackground checks, language skills, presence days etc...? If this one, then everyone has "in progress" at the beginning but that doesn't mean it's being looked at.

In my understanding, if this one says your application is in progress, then it really is: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do

Thank you for your response. I wasn’t referring to “in progress.” I was referring, particularly, to the date under application history vs AOR date. I used this link. https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login

I am no expert but I think your application is indeed in progress. In the Application History, mine just say "application filed" which is AOR. So you are probably a step ahead. I could be wrong though.

Hello May 2021 applicatns,

I am a June 2021 applicant. I am just curious if you guys check ECAS. If you do, does your application usually appear on there before or after the AOR?

Thanks,
Good luck everyone!!
