I sent my missing documents on August 30th and the package got delivered on September 3. No AOR or any communications since then

So when can I actually know it's in process. What is the next stage?

If you're a paper applicant, just keep checking ecas/new tracker/email. Your status on the old tracker should change from application received to in process soon (it takes a bit more than a month usually). After that, background verification will be marked as complete. The next step is usually the test and then finally the oath. It's a long process. It's normal to have to wait for a while.

Hi folks,
Just I am wondering if they return the package because it is not complete , do they take the same time for AOR to return it or it should be less ?

Please update the status to "In progress" as at September 28 in the tracker.

Can you change my location also to Halifax?

Thanks.

How long is the average wait time from AOR to Test invite?

Currently few applicants from March and April are getting the test invites.
Going by the average it is between 5-8 months from AOR to test invite.

So you are looking at test invite somewhere between Feb 2022 - May 2022.

Some of them may get early.

Just to update the tracker:

Both of our applications are now marked as "in process" on the tracker.

App 1
submitted online and received 22 June 2021
AOR 22 Sept.
"in process" as of 23 Sept.

App 2
submitted online and received 25June 2021
AOR 23 Sept.
"in process" as of 24 Sept.

Now, I guess we wait for awhile!

Second AOR came in just now, so that was:

two single applications filed online, from vancouver.
First submitted 22 June wth an AOR of 22 Sept
Second submitted 25 June with an AOR at 23 Sept.

Toot toot!

You're referring to the new tracker (the one that you need to create an account for), right? That is NOT what the tracker is keeping track of. Whoever is updating the tracker, please don't add wrong data. That field ("in process on ecas") is not for the new tracker. For instance, online applicants cannot even login to ecas but a bunch of them have that field filled in. Please stop adding misleading data points. This is not targeted at you specifically but I am just tired of seeing misleading data and trying to see a trend while continuously ignoring data that looks wrong.


This is ecas: old tracker (https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do)
This is NOT ecas: new tracker (https://cst-ssc.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login)

I have applied online, and today I got this email: So I think the new tracker does show the status and progress correctly.
