Hi, Timber,
my application was received on November 21st too. I just checked 30 mins ago, nothing on it. Did you use your 8 digits uci to check it or what?

Wow…Nov 21st applicants are getting ECAS updates. My application reached 29th Nov. so may be couple of weeks more for me.

Great news, guys. My app was received on November 20th. No update for me either.

Mine was on the 25th. Also no news. Guys do you think it's a fare assumption that if they were to return the file as incomplete it would return max within 2 months? Has anyone heard or experienced longer return periods?

yes your assumption is 100% correct. A friend of mine applied early December (December 5th or 6th can't remember exactly) and his application was returned to him on January 23rd. it takes no more than 50 days until you get it back. Also i read somewhere on another thread, an applicant that her application was returned on Feb 5th and she applied on Dec 27th. I think you are good

nothing to worry about. i wasn't able to see an update until 3 and half months later.

Thanks for your feedback.

Wow…If they haven't returned our application then we did a good job. Now waiting is part of this process.

Hi Sampao10,

I used my client id from the PR card. Nothing had shown up until yesterday morning other than the previous PR card renewal status
of last year. As of yesterday morning, using the same cliend it, i see the second entry for the citizenship application.

Until i saw that, i kept thinking i am not using the correct id to check it but it will show up when there is an update.

Good luck!

I applied in november 5 and it reached office on Nov 7 . Did not hear anything from them .......i called last month she said they are processing september applications and i need to call after 2 months . I am not sure if this has happened to me only or anyone else experienced this .

I am planning to call next month. But wanted to check in this forum that most of you have some kind of reply. But no reply for my case what might have happened ?

Call CIC again and you should get some update. Seems like they have updated ECAS unto 21st Nov.

Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum, just wanna share my situation:

Nova Scotia received my application for citizenship on November 8, 2013 (confirmed by Fedex). Up until today I got nothing in the mail. I'm expecting the acknowledgement letter + study book. I followed timbermere comment and typed my client ID from my COPR in the On-Line Services website and boom: It reads the following:


1) We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on November 8, 2013.

2) We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on November 8, 2013. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

3) We started processing your application on January 27, 2014.


Today is Feb 9, 2014. Should I assume the letter acknowledging receipt of the application + study book is just lots in the mail??? If I call them do they re-send that stuff?

Thanks!
