Dear Readers,Hala k1 said:Hello,
I applied for citizenship on June 2015, as per the timeline below ( OTTAWA):
Application received : Jun 10, 2015
AOR : August 5, 2015
My ECAS still not activated yet!
BUT, I have received a call on Aug 28, 2015 from Unknown Number, actually it was from the officer who is working on my application in CIC
She was asking if I have any Canadian ID with my shortcut name ( as I have requested in my application to shortcut my full name (4 names) to first and last name only), then I told her I don't have any ID with first and last name. I asked her if she can just ignore my shortcut request and to process my application with my full name and she was so nice with me and agreed to do so. Unfortunately I couldn't even ask her any question regarding my application processing time as I was really surprised when she has introduced her self as CIC Officer
Did Anyone received such calls from CIC regarding the same issue?
Congratulations on having your application to "In Process". Yeah, i do agree with you that the google sheet has been modified by someone. I just cross check some of the details and it seems that some May applicant's timeline has been added.forberta said:Checked ECAS today morning and it said that my application was in process on August 31st, 2015. Things seem to be moving. Best of luck to all who are waiting for their update.
I am unable to update the google tracker sheet. Something seems to be wrong or locked up. I will try again later today but could the owner/admin of the tracker sheet please check it.
Edit: I was able to update the tracker sheet now. It seems the sheet has been modified and order changed for some reason.
Wahoo, thanks for the heads up. Am surprised that people are now using such means for fraudulent activities.Canadiandesi2006 said:Dear Readers,
May be in few cases where the CIC official calls the candidates to clarify some details.
CIC has warned about the telephone scam and how candidates are been conned. Exercise extreme caution when handling such calls, dont give them credit card details.

Oh, Sorry for the mix-up. That was an error on my part. Yeah CIC call centre will henceforth not provide any meaningful information to the applicant over the phone. It seems you file might still be in Sydney the only option for now is that you WAIT.Mount212 said:Ojeola the link you have provided is for Client Application Status Application for Permanent Residence In Canada. I have applied for Citizenship and it still doesnt show anything only it shows we have sent AOR on 31 july. I called CIC and the agent told me we cant give u any information as it is less than 12 months.
Your ECAS is your main gateway to see what is going on with your application. You cannot do anything more at this stage but wait, the next step is for your file to be marked as 'In Process' which essentially means the Sydney office has picked up your file identified your closest CIC local office and started your criminality and background checks following which a fourth line is added of file transfer to local office. These updates will be seen on your ECAS when they happen.Mount212 said:I had this information on my e-cas. We sent you acknowledgement of receipt on 31 july 2015. I Logged into my ECAS now and there hasnt been any update since july 31. Can someone help me what to do next?

Good luck to you. Miriam. In just few more days, ah?!MiriamT said:I've downloaded the Discover Canada audiobook since I was having a hard time concentrating when reading the book, and started to practice using CIC's "How Canadian are You, eh?" app (before I was using every now and then the one by Richmond Library but there are many irrelevant questions which are not asked in the exam). I've consistently scored 18 and 19 out of 20, but now I started getting 20 out of 20.
