September 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

[Drupesh]

I think you missed the AOR email as it does not take so much time. Check if you received any email from "Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca" or "@cic.gc.ca"

If you received none call IRCC and ask for Application Number as they said your application is in process. Using that and the UCI you should be able to create a tracker account on https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en

I tried calling them, they are not coming on call. Do you have any particular to call them?

One of these should work. Give it a try.

I submitted my application on Sep 16th 2022.

I submitted mine online Sept 29.l actually originally submitted May but it wouldn’t accept my PR card as secondary ID so I resubmitted late after a bit of a fiasco getting a BC ID). My original online account just reads submitted for review. I am unable to create the tracker account, it says UCI not found…. It’s been nearly
Four months. Two weeks or so after I submitted, On Oct 17, I got an email saying it was an acknowledgment of receipt which I originally took to mean AOR. But felt very soon. It has an application number on the top of the pdf. On October 25, I got another email That prompted me to create a tracker account but I kept getting an error message that the UCI is invalid. I still do. Why is this finicky, what am I missing . Like to think I’m smart enough like

@sdharan21 you are usually first to spot movements. Anything you see? Or are we unnecessarily getting excited with DM on ECAS but nothing on the tracker.... Maybe DM gets updated for everyone over there way way before it shows up on the tracker, and maybe the oath invite is weeks after a DM on online tracker but months after DM on ECAS..... Views?

Hi
I don't see any movement yet. Tracker is showing the same status. I see applicants from Mississauga(August and July group) getting an Oath letter 2 weeks after the DM on ECAS. I am not sure how it will turn out . Someone said here earlier that the tracker lags behind. Hoping that is the case.
Maybe someone can shine some light

I will update if I see anything

yes generally 2-3 weeks after DM. but in those cases you also notice that other tracks (on the online tracker) show completed on the same date as DM whereas in our case DM is only on ECAS and neither different tracks nor DM have been updated in the tracker. confusing.....

This seems to be a response from them for a webform submission. Did you sent them any missing documents?

It has been noted that tracker lags behind ECAS in *most* cases by 24-48 hours or even 72 hours.
In other cases there have been emails to people about things that weren't updated on ECAS or tracker.
We can assume that one trickles into another at some point, you should see some updates on the tracker next.

Got a GU this morning - January 20th.
BG is still In Progress. What it could be?
EDIT : ECAS = In Process

No update on the tracker yet after the Ghost Update of Jan 20th. BG is still showing In Progress.
Hoping for some movement this week.

When I login into ECAS and click on 'In Process'. I see below.

Citizenship

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on September 21, 2022.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on November 1, 2022.
3. We started processing your application on January 18, 2023.

Your and my timelines are same, my application too reached on September 20 and I received the AOR on November 1 but no such change in my ECAS.

I have 2 GUs (November 29 and December 24) so far and my spouse has just one GU (December 16). For last 1+ month, no GUs, I’m getting worried if they are even working on our application.

I have been reading lots of good post about people getting BG done, test done - congratulations to everyone those who got BG done and for passing your test. It is now getting little disheartening to not see any GU or progress on my application.

Couple days back I was able to login and both of us had Background Check complete.
