Hi, I submitted a form on CIC website to ask the status of my online application as I never received any submission confirmation email.

I received a reply back that there is no application in the system.

Should I apply again on paper in that case. My app date is Feb 25th and I never received any email from IRCC except the payment receipt.

I am very worried! did i just wasted 3 months on this crazy black hole kinda online system?!!!

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

Welcome to the the thread, I just need more information from you. Can you let me know the following:
Location:
Physical Days:

Application sent:
Delivered:


If you applied before March 2nd, then there was no confirmation email. As for IRCC reply, it really depends on the agent who replied. An agent actually went ahead and verified that my online application was in their system but still no AOR (probably sent an email or checked their backend system). Some agent will simply not go the extra mile to help you. I would say that if you have applied online, then don't worry and it will get processed soon(ish). It sucks that we hoped we would be getting our AORs in less than 2 months :p

Hi there, I checked my status today and found background verification completed on May 21 while others remain in progress, not sure if this needs to be updated on the spreadsheet. Thanks

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

Anyone from Vancouver office whose application is in progress and background check is completed? Mine is still in progress. I’ve seen some people from other cities whose background check is already completed.

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
