January 2020 - citizenship application

[chatyabiotech]

Hello Everyone. I have a question. I sent my application for Citizenship on Aug 5, 2020 and the application reached on Aug 7th as per the status on Canada post. However, my application was signed and dated for Aug 10, 2020. As per Canadapost, delivery standards were 5 bus days for NS from ON. Therefore, I didn't think it would reach so quick within two days. Do you think the application would be returned back because it was signed for a future date? Or does the AOR date is what it matters?
When you received AOR, did it say date of receipt as when they actually received the mail or when they generated the AOR? I really appreciate your opinion on this?
Should I send another application, so that my submission is not delayed?

In the official instruction guide and I think even in the main application form it’s advised against signing future-dated. There’s a chance that it will get returned because of that. However I wouldn’t send a second application right away, as it might create more confusion.
I think the best option is to call IRCC and talk to them about this.

Why would sign the application in a future date? The AOR states when the package is received.

There could be a chance that it will be returned since IRCC tells you not to post-date applications. The following is on their website:

"Note: Your application will be returned to you if it is:

• not signed and dated
• dated more than 90 days before we receive it
• post-dated (dated into the future)"

ECAS also lists both the date your application arrives at the IRCC and the date they issue the AOR. On my ECAS, it states the following.

"Citizenship

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on January 9, 2020.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on March 12, 2020."

Hi

Yup. I heard some July 2019 applicants are getting a second request for fingerprints as the security clearance expired. Probably means a much longer wait than a few more months to be in process..

If your UCI doesn't work it means that haven't got to your application yet. Just have to be patient unfortunately...

Always sign on the day you send, canadapost can deliver applications earlier at times, the delivery times of 5 days are maximum time in which they expect to deliver not minimum, they could deliver earlier, but you have to wait for the application to come back to send a new one, if at all it comes back,

Because they take the received date as the day someone signed for or received the application.

If your application is post-dated on the date when they receive this application, they will return it as per policy.
On another instance, its also mentioned somewhere on the IRCC site that they can also check the application dispatch date and see if it was post-dated on the day when it was dispatched and they can also return the application.

What was the reason for the return? Will be helpful to know for those of us getting ready to send and are traumatized with this random and delayed CIC process!

If your application was sent after January 14th, unfortunately nothing. If you call, they wont have an answer for you. if it was before Jan 14th, you can call them, they may have an update for you

I sent using academic IELTS papers. they accept only general.
later on, I sent my M.Sc. certificate and medium of instruction which states my education was in English, according to CIC, they
should full fill the IELTS requirements.
