February 2021 - Citizenship applications

[riyahm]

Hi All,

I also applied for my wife's application online. I filed web form inquiry with IRCC initially they said they cannot file the application with this message

"Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). We have verified your file and were unable to find any record of your online application. In order for us to make additional verifications, we invite you to write back to us using the IRCC Web form and include the online application number and screen shots of: The View the applications you submitted section of your account's homepage, and The confirmation of submission of your online application located in the Check full application status section. We will be pleased to follow up on your request following reception of the above information. Usually, it takes us 2 to 5 business days to respond. "

Then I filed another webform inquiry and they responded with the message below

"Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We are currently looking into the issue described in your email. We will communicate with you as soon as we have more information.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Rest assured that we are working on improving our online services for future releases"


I think they are just lagging with Online applications for citizenship grant. I wouldn't recommend applying again on paper as that would mess things up. Rather wait for response for online application and then it take it from there. With IRCC its game of patience.


Just to update this is what IRCC said after they said about application not found problem.

"Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We have verified the information you provided and can confirm that we received your application. It will be processed according to the date it was received.

When you submit an application to IRCC, verifications are made to ensure that the online application is complete and ready for review, which means that you have:

• Answered all of the questions on the form, and
• Submitted all the necessary documents.

Once we have verified that the application is complete, you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt. At the moment, we are unable to provide delays for how long this verification will take."

I filed for wife's Online application in February 2021.

Thanks

I was just wondering if fingerprint request comes before or after background checks completed? Approximately how long before the test invites?
Tia!

Hi,

Usually it comes before the completion of back ground checks.

Thanks.

If ecas shows In Process and a third line, then I can update the spreadsheet. Otherwise you are good

Hi,

E-case is showing in process (26th May) for both my spouse and child.

Thanks.

Oh okay, I got my background checks completed on the 19th so I was thinking how long I’ll have to wait.

Those who applied ONLINE before March 02, 2021 did not receive any acknowledgement email. They updated their software on March 02, 2021 so applicants after this date are getting the acknowledgement email on successful submission (which is not AOR btw) - those that did before this date (like in your case) did not receive any acknowledgement email.

The agents response for not finding your application is the generic response given for those applicants whose AOR is not sent out in MAJORITY of cases. So relax.

I'd say you should start worrying ONLY when the people who applied ONLINE at the same time or after you start receiving AORs and you didnt. There are so many people even before you who have applied online and have not yet received any AOR or acknowledgement email

Thats some relief. I applied on feb 25th, 2021 through online. I dint get any AOR. So, I assume whoever applied online, nobody got AOR right? Please correct me if i am wrong.

Correct, last online AOR received in this forum was for an application submitted onJanuary 4th, 2021. I feel like we are a few months away from AOR

The spreadsheet used to track the In Process in ecas. Do you see a third line on ecas?

ECAS Status: IN Process
Date: 27 MAY 2021

Please update the excel tracker.

What's the BG status on the new tracker? Next step could be FP, or straight to test.
