October 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Blizzard1365]

Hello,

My paper application was delivered on 3rd October. Unfortunately I have not received my AOR yet. Is it normal for paper app? I call IRCC they just said wait. According to application status they are working on September 9 apps which is not very accurate.! I appreciate any suggestions. Thx

Nov 23, I received the same email but no GU on tracker. Compare with other offices, Ottawa is just like a snail

Update:
Nov. 23 - Ghost Update on tracker and shortly after got an email with subject line 'Follow the progress of your citizenship grant application' with steps to register for tracker account. Although i already created tracker account few days after AOR email.

From my friends’ experience, it will be one week or one month which depends on your officer.

I sent my application on October 24th. Received AOR on November 16, and I was able to register for the tracker on the 18th. I received an email titled "Follow the progress of your citizenship grant application" on November 23rd. I still haven't received the test invitation.

My question is, when should I expect to receive the test invitation? I checked the Google document with the data, and the average for IP to test invite for October applicants is 8 days and the maximum number of days is 20. Should I trust this data, or does it depend on the officer (luck?)?

I am in a similar boat. I received my background check completed on Nov 16, and received the "Follow the progress of your citizenship ..." email on Nov 23, and still waiting for my test invite email

Anytime soon you should get the AOR. Try calling them again and a different agent might give more info. As IRCC website doesn't get updates as quickly.
