Hello All,

I submit my application on 24-Sep-2021. After that, I got an email on Dec 13, 2021, with pdf attachment saying that "This is to acknowledge receipt of your application for Canadian Citizenship. We will review your
application and supporting documents and will contact you if additional information is required."

Is this to be considered as the AOR?

What is meant by ECAS?

Thanks, OnkarNath

Yes, this email is considered AOR.

ECAS can be checked here: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en. Please note only paper-based applications can access ECAS.

Not sure of the timeline. But do you see any ghost update in your profile? (Ghost update is the last updated date change on top right corner of the portal)
