    March 2021 - Citizenship applications

    Yes, my information still cannot be found in ECAS a week after online AOR. AOR Aug11, registered in the new tracker Aug13, and interestingly got an email Aug17 with instructions to the new tracker. So looks like they are endorsing using that in favor of ECAS. Not sure about this strange 6 day...

    March 2021 - Citizenship applications

    Got my AOR email on Aug11 (online application, only took 5+ months...). Can see it "in progress" in the new tracker, but not in ECAS.

    March 2021 - Citizenship applications

    The tracker is biased though towards this audience (who is savvier than average), I expect lots of people who don't participate in this forum aren't aware of online applications, and even if they had 10% chance to see the link, not everybody would just go and register the account right away. And...

    New: Online Citizenship Application

    Online application is almost exactly the same as paper application (and needs the same scanned documents), the only difference I could see are photo requirements (needs to be digital + photographer information), and the tax section no longer asks "required to file Y/N" (only "taxes filed Y/N").

    March 2021 - Citizenship applications

    I don't think we have enough data yet to say conclusively which one is faster. People in other threads are saying that paper applicants are getting their AORs faster. Most likely online applicants are saving a couple of days of mailing time but who knows what beyond that. In either case I...

    ICES (BCIT) Timeline

    To share my timeline with BCIT ICES ECA, it only took 2-3 weeks in 2017 to complete evaluation of BS and MS degrees from US. Both universities sent transcripts electronically (PDF download). Of course now it's 3 years later and post-COVID so YMMV, but I would still recommend ICES for ECA if it's...

    Applying for Citizenship on the basis of Statelessness after Bill C-6

    I have "alien's passport" that gives me status similar to PR in my home country.

    Applying for Citizenship on the basis of Statelessness after Bill C-6

    Bill C-6 includes that "Statelessness has been added as a stand-alone ground that can be considered for a discretionary grant of citizenship." I will be landing as a new PR under FSW, and am in fact Stateless - having been born into a country that no longer exists, and never had citizenship of...

    Application mailed from Canada: Aug 3 Delivered: around Aug 14-15, didn't have tracking number, HUGE mistake. I really didn't expect to be in the dark about my application reaching them at all or being lost in the mail for over 3 months. My previous experience with other US gov't entities is...
