Mine only shows three items.
1. Receipt date
2.AOR
3.Start Processing date.

Obviously, there are inconsistencies.
I believe the new ecas system shows the LOT transfer , however the previous one does not . Usually the applicants who applied after/by Aug 2014 are able to see the new ecas .

I am a Sept 2014 applicant , got email AOR and can see my LOT line in my ecas .

We passed the test today. The test was pretty simple. The interview was smooth. I hadnot translated my russian stamps and she did not bother. Said the oath wiould likely be April. I asked her if it was safe to assume at that point that we would not receive the RQ. She said she would give it to me during the interview if she had issues with our residency. But since she did not I would not get the RQ, and, provided I passed the test, the next step will be the oath. Good luck to everyone.

My timeline:
Application received: 2013, 25 November
LOT: March 27, 2014
Test: February 17, 2015

I think depends on the receiving date, but not 100% sure. Others might have a different option!

Congratulation a.R. :) finally, after a year and half of waiting.
I have received my oath letter yesterday too, for March 26th at Henry building 210-220 4th ave.

I have a question for people who received the Oath letter: in the letter I have been asked to bring the following:
2 pieces of IDs, landing paper, PR card (so far that is normal)
I have been also asked to provide original copies for all documents submitted with the application, and travel documents recent and expired (is that normal)
I have sent them the original translations of my passports, I do not have copies, does that mean I need to re-translate them again along with all documents I have submitted with my application??
Sounds like an interview and not an oath to me..
Please advise

Hi,
don't worry. everyone gets the same. you don't need original translations since that would only be required in the interview.

I guess that explains a lot. Also, I requested an ATIP based on the advise of contributors on this blog, but I couldn't really figure out any LOT on the report.

Thanks for shedding some light anyway.

Hello members, :) :) :)
Currently I live in Calgary,AB.
I lived in Ontario for 4 months(2012) during which I was unemployed and did not even had a rental agreement on my name.I was living with a friend who left Canada now.

I am applying for Citizenship and
The only documents that I can show for this 4 months are, My Ontario health records, "CBSA report-No stamps on passport" & My debit card transactions.

If you can suggest any other proof's that I can show of my residence during that period will be a good help.

Regards
Destined

Also, Dr Visits through Health Record. Bank Transactions. Car Insurance. Cell Phone Bills showing actual calls.

Just think of your life trails during that period. Also, these are just suggestions, most probably if CIC has issues, they will send you exactly what they need, or it will be through RQ forms.
