September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[varlam]

Hi all, my application has been returned citing missing information with Q12 table on "tax years filed" as missing. I categorically remember filling the years and ticking the corresponding box in the digital form - the same is reaffirmed in the copy of my application I retained. Interestingly, the version of my application that they sent back does not have the table printed but has all other items on that sheet printed.
Tip for others looking to file and/or @rajkamalmohanram to add a note of this to the "instructions thread" that tables get left out (still unsure how that happened during the print as it is still in my saved digital copy)

Question:
-The others who've had their application returned, do you simply add the missing sheet and send the same package back?
-What happens regarding the application fees?
-Physical presence calculations - do I add new travel dates (I was away for 2 weeks in Dec)
-Any new letter of explanation
other advice?

Other information for time calculation - file had reached on Sept 28 and this letter is dated Nov 25

sorry to hear that, is it missing at all? or just one line or what is exactly missing concerning the taxes?

i just realized that my taxes table has just 4 lines. as i entered canada first time in Dec 2016, i have put 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, so all together 4 lines, checked needed and filed boxes, but did not mention the 2015 as in 2015 I never was in Canada.
was i supposed to mention 2015 and does it mean my app also will be returned?

any thoughts?

TIA

I'm sorry about this. I have never heard a case where an applicant had the entire table missing - This is the first. Unfortunately, I can't edit my post but I can add this note to this thread where we were discussing about issues with the application form.

2. You can use the same application fee receipt that you submitted before.
3. I don't think you need a new physical presence calculator as the reason that your application was returned was not because of physical presence. But please follow the instructions in the document they added when they returned your application.
4. LOE is not required, IMO (unless your situation has changed since you sent the application).

I just wanted to ask if you can check ECAS and if it’s showing your application status?
you can try to check by using UCI, family name, DOB, and country of birth.
I just want to know if they return application, either they enter the information in Ecas or not. Thank you

Good question. I am unable to retrieve my file, received the following prompt:
"We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons: Please be sure the information you entered is correct and then try again. This service is only available to clients with applications in process. We may have received your application but not yet begun processing it."

So it means that the people who their statues chanded in ECAS to be application received, they got AOR and it is a matter of time to receive the emails.

what date was app returned

File had reached on Sept 28, stamped as 'received' on same date and this letter is dated Nov 25.

As reported by others, my ECAS also shows the following lines, even though no actual email yet:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 23, 2020.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on December 14, 2020.

I guess my status now is AOR "received".

That's right. Congratulations. If you haven't already, you should check your spam folder. Also check the trash folder to see if you accidentally deleted it.
