I submitted my application at the beginning of September. According to the Canada Post, the package arrived at Sydney's CIC on September 06. No update yet on CIC web site :(

Sent Application: 28 September 2013
Sydney Received Application : 02 October 2013
No update as yet
Single Application : 1 Adult


Are people just getting their received application date by sending their application with a tracking number?

I won't actually have any sort of case/file number that I can use at the CIC check application status page until I get a letter from CIC correct?
cic.gc.ca/english/my_application/status.asp

My application was sent back once because it was incomplete and that was very quick, but this time around I haven't heard anything and it's been about 6 weeks.

clickxclick, yes I think everyone just uses the tracking number they got from the post, FEDEX, or whoever to confirm the date it reached.

Sorry to hear your application was returned, do you mind telling me how long after you sent it was returned, and was your online status every updated to say

something like returned?

I was never sent anything where I could check my status online. I never got a file number or anything like that, that I know of, because my application wasn't actually processed yet.

My application was just physically sent back through the mail and I was told I could fix the issues and resubmit.

I can apply for citizenship through my mother and the problem was that I didn't notarize my or her birth certificate and I foolishly forgot to date the application.

So instead I just sent the originals because you cannot notarize vital statistics like birth certs. Apparently that seemed to work and hopefully they'll send them back when they're done with them.

Today I spoke to a CIC agent who said that they are currently opening applications sent up to August 29 2013 and probably we won't have any updates by the end of November

Congrats. Assuming that you sent your application using a courier service, who was the person to sign it when he received it?
