October 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[JoacRy]

Background verification completed Feb 24.

Congratulations; everyday that I see updates from applicants who applied (Via 'Paper Application') I think how foolish was I by applying 'Online' thinking it would be 'faster'?

Hope you get the 'Test Invitation' soon.

Same feeling here. I thought if anything online would be faster but nope. Seems like Paper applications are just breezing through.

I received my AOR by email on Jan 21, and in the tracking website it says:

We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on January 21, 2022.

However, I still haven't received anything by postal mail. I checked my mailing address and it's correct. Is that typical? Any thoughts on that?

You won't receive anything. You need to download it or order it separately. The book is free

Wait for the test invitation in, maybe, a week - a month, then, grab the test, then, Wait ...

Any applicant who is still "unable" to register on the tracker? It's been ~2months and I still can't register on the tracker. I get the error "Incorrect UCI or application number. Please try again." Of course, I called up customer care and also made sure UCI and the Application Number are correct. But still no resolution! I did ask for a correction to my application through IRCC Web Form. Could that be the reason?

-UCI format used from AOR - XX-XXXX-XXXX (i tried without a hyphen as well)
-Oct-07, 2021
-AOR Dec-30, 2021

Online applications don't have access to Ecas. You need to try on https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login if you are online applicant

Hello,

I have a question regarding my current passport.

I have an application for Canadian citizenship in progress (Applied online on Oct 25 and AOR Jan 18). The thing is my current passport expired end of Jan 2022. I am debating myself if I should renew it now or not. Does it make sense to renew it now since my Canadian citizenship application is progressing?

As part of current passport renewal, I need to submit the original. Will I need my current passport any time during the citizenship application? I haven't received any update after AOR.

Thanks in advance.

You WILL need your current passport if you are invited for an interview with the IRCC.
