I have confirmation that my package was delievered in July 2021
but I have STILL not received an AOR number or any contact from Immigration.
What should I do!??!
I applied via paper in the mail

When I call the call center no one is there to answer...
should I apply online?
Plz don't apply online, Keep trying to call IRCC , that is the only option

Will it mess up the application?
I just sent them a webform question... I hope they get back to me. It seems I'm the only one who hasn't received an AOR.

it would delay everything even further.

Webforms take a lot of time to be answered sometimes months or not at all. Best approach is to keep trying to call IRCC.

Not sure but have you tried eCAS, if you can login there that would give some relief that your file is being processed.

Thanks for your advice guys, I tried to login into eCAS but nothing came up except this error message:

My citizenship test turned completed Monday, January 10. This was the next business day after completing the test on January 7th.
This seems in line with other people's timelines in this forum (the test "completes" in the first few business days after actually doing the test).

When I try to enter more than 30 rows in answer to Question #10 (a), I am not able to validate the form as it does not have enough space for me to include complete address history in the eligibility period. Has anyone faced this issue and if yes, how did you solve it

I have quite a few short trips and hence I need more than 30 rows

Quick question on test: Can it be given during any time on any day? Weekends? Do I have to book time ahead of time or I can get it done during my test window days?

Reading through comments, it seems paper applications are processed faster than online.. I need to make my application (Single) now as I have completed the eligibility criteria recently.. Can people please post recent experiences / suggestions regarding this..
