AOR:

When I check https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/viewcasestatus.do
I see only Citizenship application received on May 9th. NO update after that. But I see my consultants address as mailing address, which I just removed. I have not AOR emails so far. Not sure if they sent any communication to my mailing address? ( In my application i have mentioned both my home and mailing address as same. Not sure why their address appeared online, (could be from my PR).
Should I wait ?

I think you should wait a bit more mainly bcos it is paper application. You can also check the excel spreadsheet we use here to track applications to see the trend for other paper applications in May. Some online applications in May have also not received AOR.
With regards to your representatives address, I'm not sure how or why it showed there..

My tracker says I am eligible to take the test June 30- July 20. But I still haven’t received the instructions. What can I do?

Looks like a lot of us have received the invitation for citizenship test & still have not received the official email invitation with instructions.

You can take the test if your test start data has reached just, Go to this link

https://ct-tc.apps.cic.gc.ca/?lang=en

Login with your application number and UCI and you will be given step by step guidance for taking the test.

Before the test just go through all the steps explained here
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/citizenship-test/access.html

It says on their website that you can only take the test if you receive the official invite email. My test is supposed to start from tomorrow but I haven’t received the official email yet.

Weird! They had already rescheduled your test or they rescheduled it when receiving your email?

Hello,
I received ghost update today (June 29), June 16 AOR but no update in the tracker. what should i expect next? and how long should i see the real update?

 

[Troy2245]

Ok. So If you are checking the citapply link, it will still show submitted even if you have received AOR. For me I have received AOR and ghost update today but it still showing there as Submitted and you will receive AOR when we have checked if your application is complete... So I don't think that's a good place to check.. but you should soon get your AOR especially as you have raised a webform. Also, If you look at the excel sheet, there are people that applied after you and haven't received AOR. I know it sucks but atleast you know it's not only you. Fingers crossed for you.

I got AOR finally after raising web form

 

[Troy2245]

Hi Folks
Do we have to wait to check citizenship tracker after AOR email?

I received AOR and when i tried to register it says - Incorrect or invalid information. Review and make sure it matches the information submitted on the Use of a Representative [IMM 5476] form or the Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual [IMM 5475] form. If you can’t create an account, it may be because your client’s application is not in our system yet.
