Okey cool. Mine was returned due to missing information. Passport pages and physical presence which I may have calculated wrong. Also PR was approved 2023 but I have been here for about 5 years before that so I added a year to my calculations I hope it’s right.

Hello,

I applied for Citizenship application on 19 Jan 2026. Mistakenly i paid 630 cAD$ fees, which used to be previous fees, instead of 649.75 CAd $.
I got an email on 27 March about missing information, when i log in to my application it took me to fees page. I immediately paid the remaining amount of 19.75 and upload the receipt. after that i saved my applciation. Question is

1. I dont see any submit button, except that i can save it
2. how long usually CIC officer check again if the fees has been paid or not and to issue me AOR

Please help me with your feedback

I haven't received any update or request for fingerprint or background check and everything on the tracker is still showing in-progress. Should I be worried ? My processing office is Sydney,NS. Many applicants with similar timeline has got fingerprint and background done.

Similar question. I am also wondering after receiving AOR Email, I have not received the next Email yet. Can I create tracker account? or I should wait for next Email? thanks

Hey all, I submitted mine last day of December and then my application was sent back to me because of my photo. I have submitted with the new photo. Does anyone know how long it’s going to take them now to get back to me? Is it another 3 months?
