Citizenship Applications Delivered: October 16-20, 2017 (C6)

[razerblade]

Hi, does anybody know if the status in ECAS changes when they receive your application before getting AOR?

App delivered on 16th Oct and no AOR, and when i check ECAS with my UCI, it says 'We are unable to identify you'.

So just curious if it should change or can you get AOR even if it doesn't as some people in the forum have mentioned that an error like that means they haven't even opened the application.

Typically ECAS updates 24-48 hours after getting AOR. Some applicants have reported ECAS getting updated before AOR, but it's rare.

Hi all,

I am an October 16 applicant and I just signed up although I have been closely following threads here. I have not received my AOR yet and my application is not returned either. But after looking at two posts about returned applications from October 16 applicants today, I am kind of feeling that maybe my application is on the way to return also. I am saying this because for q11 where were you physically located, I put my home address instead of work address (I was not too sure about it when I applied and still I find it very confusing to ask it this way). I was not sure if this was trivial or not but now I think it was not. I can't find anywhere else where I might have made a mistake.

My gut feeling is that for those 12, 13, 16 applicants who still have not received AOR, the applications might be on the way for returning. After all, there are many signs of it and CIC uses regular mail to return our applications and who knows how long it will take to be delivered. So I will give it another 2 weeks at most and will send my application again if I don't hear back. Some questions to ask:

- What does everyone think about putting home address instead of work address for q11? Is it not trivial? Did anyone make the same mistake and still got AOR?
- Also, for two of the contacts in q11, I didn't have phone number in one case and email address in the other so I put NA instead of letting them be blank. Was this also problematic?
- If I apply again, does the eligibility period changes? Do I have to produce a new physical presence form?
- For q11, where were you physically located, it is for sure the work address right?

Thank you all very much.

Let's wish for the best.

- I applied for family ( 2 Adults, 3 Minors) -- Application reached on 3rd Novemver
- Got all applications back today
- Only application of my wife is rejected because proof of language proficiency we sent , IELTS (acedemic), is not accepted as valid proof
- Immigration officer labelled all other four returned applications as complete and asked to send them back when I get the valid proof of language proficiency for my wife

For myself, I sent Canadian Langue Benchmark Assessment (CLB) sheet and that was accepted as they declared my application complete and did not mention any discrepancy in it. Please note that my CLB assessment was first assessment with them and I never took LINC or CLIC course as my initial score was above 7.

Today I called Immigration Services Calgary to book CLB test for my wife. They told me that CLB test result is not considered as valid proof for citizenship application. It is only valid for people who initially get below 4 in CLB assessment ----> then completes LINC or CLIC course ----> retake CLB assessment and get above 4. And if someone takes CLB assessment for the first time and get 8, for example, in all four segments --this person needs to take third party language proficiency test [CELPIP-G or IELTS -General ] to apply for citizenship

When I told to lady that it has already been accepted in my case--- she was of the opinion that immigration officer may have missed or overlooked it in my case.I just want to double check with forum members:

1- Is there anyone who took CLB assessment -- got required score for citizenship in first attempt --- never took LINC or CLIC course ---sent this result with citizenship application and got accepted? CIC website is not very explicit on it.

2- When I will be re-sending applications, should I just mail all five applications as- it-is after adding the valid proof of Language proficiency for my wife? OR I need to fill and print all application forms and presence calculator again?

Thanks

Richard,

Did you courier your application in from Edmonton or did you send it via canada post registered mail?

I only ask because i'm in Edmonton also and had mine received on the 17th in Sydney but no AOR yet.

It is not gut feeling, but the simple mathematical fact that as of today 28 Nov., 20 % of Oct. 13, 20 % of Oct 16, and 27 % of Oct 17 applicants haven't yet received their AORs.

Really sorry to hear!

Please clarify: your application was received on Nov 3 (which makes you a Nov applicant)?

Hello everyone,
Do you know anyone who sent their application on OCT 11 (delivered OCT 13) and have not yet received AOR?

This is in ideal situation, some people do not update the document.
Also, some of the applications are returned which takes a while to update the document.

Unfortunately I think my application is sent back too, but I can't see any possible reason why they did that. I was very careful in my application. Let's hope they just forgot our applications and process them soon

I took CLB assessment and got 5 but I had to take Linc home study for three months to get my LINC CLB certificate which is acceptable for canada citizenship .I had completed the course in a month but had to stay in the program for 3 months because that's they want 3 months course.
