Hi, from which tracker you could tell the background check is completed? I received fingerprints request 1 week ago and I believe that was related to background check, but I can't see any BG check anywhere. Thanks.

It got just updated on the online tracker:

Aug 18, 2021
Background verification activity status updated
Background verification
Background verification status has been updated to Completed

This is the status the new dashboard shows after receiving AOR, expect the next change in about 2 to 4 months, potentially Background verification completed, or they may require Fingerprints, every application is different.

Hi, Got my AOR this morning. Can someone update the tracker
I had submitted 2 separate applications for me and my wife. My wife's AOR is still pending. Please find details below for the application:

Application Submitted: March 22, 2021 Online
AOR-20th August 2021

Additionally, i got a query back from IRCC on my application for passport gap, which i will address through web-form as per their instruction

I got the same query but I replied to their email with a copy of my previous passport. Do we have to address it through webform only? https://ibb.co/cbL8xkL

Thank you.

That is personal choice, what we can do here is share the experiences from other citizenship applicants, and if you read previous threads, for example: 2020 December online applicants, or January or February you will notice that in December when the online application tool was launched, the online process was quicker than paper, some of those applicants, selected during the pilot launch of the online tool, have gotten their citizenship already or are schedule to take the Oath in the near future, it took 6 to 8 months form start to finish. But in January there was a glitch with the online application, therefore online applicants received AOR until May - June, it appears that they are were able to fix the glitch/ bug and are catching up now, but they are still sending AOR to March applicants. The expectation is that after receiving AOR the process will start moving faster, but there is not definitive trend with online applications. In regards to paper applications, you can expect to receive AOR two - four months after your application has been received at IRCC Sydney and considered complete.

Good luck!!!
