Added. IP just means that your application will be transferred to a local office close to your home address (I think Edmonton only has one). Your application will now start "real" processing, meaning background, criminality, and eligibility checks will now be done on your application.

Next step can be a fingerprint request (not everyone is asked to provide these), test/interview invite, then oath.

Hi folks, just so I'm clear, how do you typically receive the AOR? I mailed my citizenship application in and beyond seeing that it was signed for upon receipt, it has been silent. Should I expect an e-mail or physical mail update? Thanks!

If you provided email adress on your application then you will receive email otherwise is regular mail. Check your spam folder it might be in there!

OK good to know, and thanks!

Alas, not there yet. I also checked online using my PR number/surname etc. but I don't think anything is in the system yet. Will just wait patiently :)

I have a question; so I was just looking at my passport (Australian) and the stamps that I have. We made a couple of trips to Cuba for vacation over the last couple of years. One of my Cuban stamps I just realized is in Spanish and says 'Ene' (short for Jan in Spanish). I already have my AOR and nothing was mentioned, do you think I'll have to have the stamp translated in some way? Or do I just wait to see if it even comes up prior to test, etc? I'm sure it's not a difficult process to undergo nor should it delay my application in any way, just curious if anyone else has non-English entry/exit stamps (different than a non-English foreign passport)?

Hold on a second, are we supposed to put copies of every page of our passport into the application?

I put copies of every page and including translated stamps in my PR renewal application but the citizenship app list only says "biographical pages" (meaning the page with the photo and biographical information of the passport).

I only copied the biographical pages of my passport in the package (and not any that has entry/exit stamps) and received AOR. Not sure which one is correct here?
