Correspondence with IRCC

[keesio]

I have heard now that if you provide an e-mail address, all correspondence with IRCC is via e-mail. Is that for ALL correspondence? Meaning AOR, Test invite, Oath invite, etc? You get nothing via snail mail?

When I applied in 2013, I provided an e-mail address but got AOR and test invite via snail mail.

Thanks

No, it's not guaranteed. In the past, despite providing email address, test, FP request, and oath invites always came via snail mail. Nowadays, increasing number of people are getting test invite via email.

FP request and RQ are still via snail mail.

ECAS updates regardless.

Thanks!

hmm... timelines seem to be moving faster than I thought. My wife applied in Dec (received Dec 8). We are taking a 2 week vacation in february. I originally thought that was way too early to get a test invite by then. But now it seems it is not impossible anymore. I'm concerned about my wife missing the test invite and missing the test. Is this a case of notifying to notify IRCC of our travels to be safe?

I got a fingerprint request just the other day. It was updated in ECAS that they sent me correspondence then I received it via snail mail a few days later. I am an OCT applicant.

I think you should be OK for your vacation, Keesio, but I would go ahead and notify them just in case. It certainly can't hurt Best of luck to your wife!

Everything for my spouse has come by snail mail. The test invite was sent out about 6 weeks before the test date, so I would think you guys would be fine for 2 weeks.

Hopefully that is the case for us too. Thanks!

the best practice is to monitor your email, physical mail and check e-cas regularly.
