September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[girgir]

Got the AOR letter in the mailbox today!

Hi everyone! I just checked the status on ECAS, using the application number provided the other day by the IRCC agent.
The second line appeared (finally!!! ): "We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on December 15, 2020." I guess this makes it official now, I have AOR. Still no sign of the actual letter in the mailbox, but that's less of a concern now.

You can't see the application number online. Call IRCC and ask an agent for your file number.

Thank you. Can I assume that my file won't anymore be returned?

No guarantees, but most likely not.

This is the update from IRCC as of January 14, 2021. Please note the Processing time note, especially the last line.

• You’ll get an AOR after we receive your application and check that it’s complete.

Thanks. But I found the below on CIC Website. This explains what each status mean. Still keeping my fingers crossed.
Received

“Received” means your application is ready to be processed and you:

• answered all the questions on the form
• sent all the required documents
• paid the fees

It may be several weeks between when we get your application and it’s ready to be processed.

Received one line on ECAS that CIC has received my application. Should I consider this as AOR?

Looks like a proper AOR email or mail will take some time.

Hi @Hot2Cold , thanks for the link. Any idea is that new trend when IRCC Call center gives the application number which starts with C00****** when the ECAS status is "application received"
