Not sure of such scenarios.

Congrats on the approved 3.

But I remember you mentioning that you had sent the applications separately, right ? So, they sent all the 3 from different applications in one mail ?!!

I'm still waiting for our 2 applications, which we sent and received at IRCC on 1) Oct 25 and 2) Oct 31.
We had got AORs for both. But since then no updates :(
Hello, any updates?

As per the instruction guide from IRCC, you have the option of sending copies of your current passport or the passport you had used when you become a permanent resident. It's not necessary to send copies of both passports.

In my case, I had send the photocopy of my old passport which I had used, when I became a permanent resident.

Hello, any updates?
No updates on my application. But interestingly, my wife's application (which was received at IRCC 4 days after mine) got some updates.
Yesterday, in ECAS, my wife's application started showing 'Decision Made'. But inside that, there was no updates other than the processing started on Dec 20.
Luckily, we had sent Web Form inquiry for both the applications. And in her response, it came as, her application has been approved and sent for production.
But my inquiry's response was, we have verified your info and have forwarded it to responsible office. :( ..
Is this common.

@YAAZ, for the cards you got, did the ECAS status changed (for the one which you got AOR).


And to add on, no updates has been marked in the myCIC for both our applications.

Getting nervous now, as to what is happening to my application.

Was just about to ask the same question...

My dad's card status shows that it was supposedly mailed on Jan 2 but we still have not received it (we are in Vancouver).

I guess maybe they do not actually mail on that date, just maybe put the card into some kind of mailing queue to be mailed - and when it actually gets mailed who knows...

It means they have opened your application and started the processing.
Have you heard anything further from them ?

No I didn’t hear anything from them. How long it take to process the eligibility or review? Coz I give them all what they requested from time to time

Hello @immigrant7 , Well this is how it went.
2 applications received on the 29th
2 applications received on the 30th
total 4 applications.
1 application that was received on the 30th got AOR and processing, then it was written it has been sent.
Up until that moment , we did not have any updates regarding the 3 applications.
Opened the mailbox the other day, found out that the 2 applications from the 30th was renewed and 1 application from the 29th was renewed
so total 3 PRs received and one no clue at all!
Opened the eCAS and found COMPLETE for both applications that was not even updated at all.

So, we sent web inquiry that the receipt had 4 people in it and only 3 was processed. So the agent sent an email regarding that matter. However, so we decided to send an urgent request and attached the flight ticket, payment method and bank statement and explained the situation of them not processing it and the agent cant find the application online and that my fiance needs to travel.

We have sent it thru UPS yesterday so itll take 2 business days. Let's see how will it go once it gets received. It is so frustrating as we are supposed to get engaged soon and get married in the summer. =(

I have a question, Are you only supposed to write URGENT on the envelope application? Or to even mention outside on the UPS box for example URGENT? I just need some clarification
