Tracking June 2015 Citizenship Application - Please Share your Timeline

I Am aware \that we don't need to send the CBSA report with application.
I am only wondering since they have the authority to get the travel info from CBSA, I wonder if they will ask for passports stamps or others proofs after the submission of application for further proof

Oh alright. I believe CIC will only ask for extra docs or proof only if they require some clarification on education or traveling info. The AOR rate seems to be reduced now because of their staff shortage due to summer breaks / vacation so June applicants might have some delays from CIC at least for now.

Thanks, I am assuming AOR Stands for Acknowledgement of receipt ? is that correct?

That is correct. That means something like: "Hey there! We got your application. Looks like there is no MAJOR issue with it, but that means nothing. We will start to process it now."

Thanks @ Ragluf. Hope you are also getting your application ready? With the look of things, i think we do have any concern about bill c24 as of yet.

All the best to everyone

@ Ojeola - I won't be making the physical presence requirement by June, only in July, so I parked my application preparation while waiting for the implementation of C24. Depending on whether there will be any announcement and specifics of the implementation - I may or may not qualify; if I do, then I will send in the application. If I won't then no worries - life goes on, and will wait for the date when I am eligible.

By then - there may be more changes, but there is no point in trying to plan for the future now when lots of it is unknown at this point (referring to C24 implementation, and possible changes in imm policy in a few years). So Plan B...

Oh alright. Hopefully in a couple of weeks we will know how the rules will be implemented. I really don't have any issues with the C24 except the fact that the previous years of pre PR won't be considered.

Mailed my application today. It should be delivered on June 1st.

Yes. I have pre-PR time that I can use - half-day credit for each day pre-PR. So this will be naught if C24 is implemented before I become eligible .

Same here. It is the pre-PR time which becomes for naught. But I have no hard feelings on this. What gets me though is the steep increase in the fees - 2x increases last year. So I am just wondering (and trembling) what the fees will be come a few years from now .

Cheers! and good luck to all applicants.

Oh alright. Hopefully, you let us know once you receive your AOR. There seems to be some delay in CIC sending out the acknowledgement.
