March 2026 - Citizenship Applications

[Shantanu Ade]

Yeah, that happens sometimes. The tracker email can come before the official AOR, but you usually won’t be able to do much with it until the AOR is issued and the application number is active in the system.

Thanks for the respose.

We applied for citizenship as a family from Ontario and submitted my wife’s valid Ontario Photo ID card. She recently got a Ontario G1 licence in May 2026, which cancelled the Ontario Photo ID as we can keep only one either Photo ID or Driving licence.
We received AOR this week in Jun end. Do we need to update IRCC or is it fine? Just worried if this may cause any issue or delay the process.

It should not be an issue, but in order to be extra cautious, submit a webform letting them know about the change and attach a copy of the new ID.

When did you receive your AOR? It can take a few days

It is normal for it to take a few days, especially if AOR is granted on a Friday.

Yes it is normal. IRCC process application through all of there regional offices which have there own backlogs. One office can be processing quicker than the other.

Does everyone gets Fingerprint request after AoR? I thoughts firgerprint given to IRCC don't need to be update if they are not 5/10yr old.
