I just got my AOR today, September applicant. I submitted application for me and my mom in one envelope. However the AOR i got has my name only to it. It didnt mentioned my moms name.

Got my AOR today. Had called CIC yesterday to ask about AOR and address change and the lady was sweet enough to say this has been a technical glitch and the call center folks can create an AOR request on your behalf. She also did mention that some of the AORs have been physically sent in the mail. My time line so far:

Please add me to the tracker as well. Thanks!
Done!
 
My online status still shows as following only:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 24, 2020.

I phoned IRCC and they provided me with the application number and sent me an email regarding the study guide. Does that mean my application is accepted, will not be returned?

I'm concerned as I still have not receive the AOR yet.

I have the same timeline. Yes. Even though no AOR email, it is AOR for us. The agent told me that my AOR pdf was generated on Dec 21, but the glitch on their system didn't generate an email.

Hi guys,

I got an update on ECAS.

We started processing your application on February 3, 2021.

Please update.

Thanks
Updated on the tracker.
 
According to the 2020 Citizenship Applications Tracker even January 2020 applicants have not began to receive test invites yet (there are only 2 applicants so far who got their invites). What is your estimate about the processing time of our applications until we become citizens? Are there any theories about that?
