Hi all,
Family of 2
Application Submitted : 11th Jan 2026
Waiting for AOR.

I made an error while completing my application- by swapping first and last name at the very start of my application but I entered it correctly elsewhere. Literally scared as they might reject/return my application. If I atleast get AOR, I can call IRCC and update the corrections. Wish me luck!

Hi, thanks for update! Do we get a separate email for creating tracker account?? I’ve been trying since the moment I received my AOR Yday but unable to do so!

Yes, I got a separate email yesterday. I also wasn't able to create the account before I got that. It came about a week after the AOR email.

Hi
Quick question, would anything affect the citizenship application if the address on the drivers license is different from residential address?
