May 2026 - Citizenship Applications Time Line

[MaplePath2026]

Same here. Submitted on May 19, and still waiting. But there is some information wrong in my application. How about you?

Only IRCC can determine whether there is any issue with the application. If there is a problem or the application is incomplete, IRCC may return the application. As of now, I have not received an AOR or any other update regarding the application.

Anyone here who filed their application on or before May 25 and is still waiting for their AOR?

Is the IRCC tracker website working for new registration now?

Why are you guys insisting on creating a WhatsApp group? Who is the admin of the group who can decide to delete the group in the nearest future. The essence of this forum to allow others when necessary can reference this in the future. My take!
In my former PR group on this frorum we still have other applicants trying to ask for information. What would have happened if it was a WhatsApp group?

The question is if every group ahead of us created a WhatsApp group, can we reference any information on this forum?

Don't let us be selfish like the April 2026 applicants who started this shit!!!!

Wonder if anyone got background check passed on tracker since Aug 13?

I've been following 2 trackers (myimmitracker and the google sheets) and both haven't shown any movement on background checks since Aug 13, despite having other updates like AOR and test invites.

I have background completed Aug 12
AOR - Aug 10
Application submitted - May 1.

Has anyone received a status update in the tracker system since the system recovery? Two weeks?

 

[MaplePath2026]

What is the best way to prepare for the Canadian Citizenship Test? Are there any good websites, forums, or practice tests that you would recommend?

Hey .. i applied for citizenship file on May 19 but haven’t received aor yet. I was reviewing my submitted file then i noticed that I forgot to mention my some part time jobs. So should I wait for Aor or raise the webform without Waiting for aor
