Tracker has the below update as of Feb 15, 2023

Additional Information Requested
You need to submit additional information. We sent you a letter or email asking for additional information. Follow the letter or email’s instructions to continue with your application

So far, we have not received any email. Unsure if this request comes via email or mail. Does anyone else know what usually gets requested and how? Thanks in advance!
The tracker had further updates:
BG Completed: Feb 16, 2023
Citizenship Test Activity Status: Feb 21, 2023
Citizenship Test Window: Feb 27, 2023 - March 19, 2023

We still see the Feb 15 - Additional Information Required status though, but we have so far NOT received any mail or email on what the additional info that is needed. If nothing shows up this week, planning to reach out to IRCC via web form.

In your case it's better to call IRCC. Web form response takes around 1 month.

Hi, I'm in the same boat. IRCC requested additional information on Feb 16, but I have yet to receive any mail or email.

Better call IRCC, same happened to me no email… after calling it turned out I had pending medical clearance and agent was happy that I called because the notification itself was for me to reach out.

This is not related to citizenship application but I feel someone can help me understand this. So my wife is currently sponsoring her minor brother through the orphan relative program and since he got AOR and biometric request letter since august there have been multiple ghost update on the tracker but no changes on the tracker and everything is not started since august 2022 except for biometrics that is showing in progress since august. Ecas is showing only application received 18th of May and nothing else, not even applications in progress. Is this normal for a minor application?

I called IRCC today. It's weird that the agent told me that IRCC is actually waiting for a document to be sent from a "third party," not from me. She told me there's nothing to worry about from my end. But the truth is the status on my tracker says "waiting on you" for additional information. I can't do much, though. I don't even know what document is needed and what "third party" is involved. I'll just have to wait and see.
