I applied March 12 and I received the acknowledgment saying we received your application 2 adults and 2 children (family). I went online to check the status with the client ID in the notice.

1. Received your application for cdn citizenship on march 17, 2014.
2. We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application and a study book on march 17, 2014.
3. We started processing your application March 20, 2014.

I am new to this, is this common? I see some people wait up to 2 months for ecas updates? The AOR did say we will review you app and will contact you if there is anything we need. Any thoughts? thank you!

those are standard phrases and there seems to be nothing wrong with your application EXCEPT that you are lucky and super fast. Where are you located? what miracles have you included in the application?

Guys, thanks for your reply. I applied from Ontario.
Wow, I guess I am super lucky!
I admit to sending in more docs than the instruction guide asks for!
Thanks again!

Wow, that was fast!

My e-case still doesn't even identify me. I tried by client ID, citizenship receipt number, permanent resident care number, etc. And it still says that they can't find me with the info I provided. And it's been 3 1/2 months! :-\
