November 2014 Applicants

[cec2011]

Ecas updated today from their generalized "office assigned to you" to inform me the Scarborough Citizenship Operations office will be in touch. Woot woot. 8)

I am in the same situation, ECAS was updated on January 30 showing Received and nothing has changed since then...

I have the same situation as I received my AOR back in Jan.26 and still shows as Received in my ecas.
I wonder if it depends on the local office maybe the fast offices (Scarborough, Mississauga) are moving faster so they get more application in process compared with the slow ones.
Mine is the slowest one ever, It is OTTAWA.

Don't feel too bad about it. I am in Scarborough and I received my AOR on Jan 28th but my ECAS still shows "Received" as there haven't been any updates thus far. We just need to have some patience and hang on in there.

I am not sure if even God knows what it depends on.

I am in Ottawa, I received my AOR on Jan 20th and my case is in process since Jan 22nd. Although, there is no local office assigned to my case yet.

I am now getting worried. I am from Ottawa.

Considering the population of Ottawa is about a million, shouldn't we get less applicants compared to say...Scarborough.

And this is supposed to be a government town...the capital of Canada

hi
I have question about timing of rq request.
Do they nowadays request RQ before test scheduled or after schedule?

And If I received AOR by email, shall I expect to receive test schedule and booklet via email as well?

Thank you.

Hey guys,

Got my AOR 13 days ago but still nothing shows on eCAS. Am I doing something wrong? Tried with Client ID with and without dash, PR card number.....nothing.

 

[pegasusyt]

I don't think you're doing anything wrong....ECAS is known for only working when it feels like it

My file got transferred to local office on Feb 19! Still don't know which office though.

Yes, the fourth line will say transfer. My understanding is that they are now doing your background check
