I only have order number.. is that useful to track?
Nope, you need the tracking number. Also, if you have only the order number, then that means your order has not been shipped yet. You will be getting one more email from them after they have shipped which will have your tracking number. This email will have a shipping and handling fee(at least did for me). The very first email I received from them about order confirmation said $0.00 for subtotal too.

Question - how often would you check your ecas after in process update?

Also it got me thinking that after 'In process' update, we will all be on our own journeys as some will be non-routine and lucky ones will have straightforward apps :( but still hoping we all just go straight to test, dm, and oath!!! :)
Dear ,i said in this form before about checking SS, do you know that even more than a half August applicants did not receive Test letter yet?so so you want from them to jump to November applicants skipping many September applicants/whole October??Lol,we have at least 2-3 months to start receiving this letter,by the way they mentioned in AOR that it could takes few months ,believe me guys ,the waiting game just started and you will wait a long time to get this letter,then we have to wait again to get letter for ceremony ,as i said before the process takes 10 months but again all the time there are exceptional cases ,lol

Thank God i have straight forward travel history just couple of trips. My worry is i am self employed and work from home and part time student as well so no idea if this has any bearing on cirizenship application
no my friend,they don't care about employment history,most important thing for them that no criminal records and correct physical presence ,i spent the whole 3 years without leaving Canada,changed my address just one time,still working in the hospital since landing ,submitted an official paper from manger of my hospital clarifying i have been working for the whole years here without leaving Canada ,however you may get test letter before me ,lol

Well in a sense i have been lucky in past to have my PR processed back in 2014 just under 7 months and my wife sponsorship under 1 year. Although there were a little bit complications in my spousal app. So i praying that same happens to my citizenship app as well. Now lets see if i get third time lucky as well or not.

even self employed if CRA has your clear record and tax filed for all the period since you are in Canada, i believe you must not have any issue.
i have just one trip to my home country and 60 US trips, will complete my 1095 days in May 2019, by that time u all will be done with test and DM

your letter is not what they ask. a possible reason for delay
come man,they will delay my application because i submitted this letter with application!!!Lol,i know tens of my friends they submitted the same thing and got citizenship in normal average waiting time,this is simple letter that proved them i am working in the hospital and did not leave the country for whole 3 years , where is the problem here!!!even if they did not ask about it,in contrast it should be very solid evidence lol

i agree with Tarek,
my all 60 Trips to US are business trips and I am also planning to provide a letter from employer confirming all my trips were purely business.

they will not, but I saw warnings about filing extra papers. any document likely has to be archived, stamped etc. People ,whose applications got rejected, can see stamp all over the papers.
man,i said that i am working in governmental hospital,my paper is official ,there is stamp plus sign,phone number (Human resource ),fax.name of hospital ,website /address .....,lol this is governmental hospital not privet company hahah,they can just check it by one call to the hospital,so you wanna to tell me that they will reject my file because i submitted them an official governmental paper ,lol

they will not reject. If everybody adds extra shit, processing time will go up.
the reason of rejection of Citizenship is so clear either you have criminal record or you are lying in your application (did not fill your tax/physical presence ....) ,i am not lying here,i am just tell them hey guys i am here working,i did not leave Canada for whole 3 years and this is official letter,so they should thank me ,not punish me by delaying my application lol,funny

They don't ask for extra papers, it does not help, it takes extra time only. if they need something they contact. stay cool, you are good
i don't say that everyone should submit such this paper,they don't ask about it,but i submitted it because wanted clarify them i did not leave Canada whole three years,that's it,they could return my application when they opened it and find this extra paper but they did not,i am good since i pretty sure it will not cause any extra time,anyway,for me i am waiting from them now just one email (Test and Ceremony to be done within 2 days)so let's see what will happen and when i get it,maybe July lol,wish good luck for you and everyone here

This is true. I don’t see any problem with this.

Extra letter WON’T DELAY an application.
