September 2014 Citizenship Application

[beauhoe]

Thanks, Donvalley.

I have one more question.

When I applied back in September I submitted my passport info which is due to expire in April of 2015.

I have recently applied for a new passport and have received it yesterday. I think I should send them the biographical pages of my new passport - although, I don't know how. I could submit a case specific enquiry (using my UCI number) and attach it there. However, few posts above someone said case specific enquiries are useless unless your file is active in ecas.

Does any one here has any suggestion on how to handle this?

You do not have to send in a copy of your new passport. Please show old and new passports to the officer during the interview after your citizenship test. You will be fine.
Cheers,

when you receive AOR, you will receive a file number. Using that file number and copy of AOR, send the photocopy of new passport attached to CPC Sydney.

This is not the appropriate time to send anything to CIC. Later during the process, applicants will be asked to come with original of their old and new passports (during test and/or interview).

That is correct, if the passport was issued after the application signature date then she can show it during the interview however, if it was issued before the application signature date then CIC might have to run a CBSA entries record check and for that they need the copy of bipgraphical pages of passports held during that 4 year period.

Hey Folks,

I have a question regarding ECAS, my application status has changed to "In Process" in December 22, I was wondering if the transfer to my local office (Vancouver) will be shown as a new line in ECAS.

Thanks

Hi,
i dont think that the transfer shows when you click on In process, but some pples say that when the received line disappears that is a good indication of that your file is transferred to local office.
my 2 cents
Thanks

Yes you can call them and tell them you haven't received AOR or book and would appreciate if these can be sent to you by email or regular mail. I know someone with similar timeline who called and later received AOR and book by email first then by regular mail

if you have received Email AOR then usually they don't send the book by mail and they give you online link for the book.
