May 2026 - Citizenship Applications Time Line

[Care2Care]

I applied online for my Canadian Citizenship Since 25th May 2026 and its now 106 days and yet no AOR recieved. I am starting to be worried as i have seen June applicants get AOR.

Each time i call IRCC, they tell me to wait. What else can i do please?

Got an email to register for tracker but tracker never works for me (Incorrect or invalid information). Anyone in the same boat?

I never got email for tracker. My AOR is 18th of August and since then got fingerprint request, test invitation but no tracker email. When I try to create tracker account by self - I get same invalid information error. I believe there are many post mid-august who are not able to create tracker account

nothing but wait.

i think different offices process applications in slightly different speed. that's why you see some people who applied later getting ahead of you. maybe you just got allocated to a slower team/office. when they give you AOR, it means they've checked your application to be complete. and if there's anything missing, they'll send you a request to re-upload something. so in some ways no news is good news. i'd just wait for another week or so.

The tracker's broken — hasn't updated in weeks. Don't stress about it.

Updated timeline, we got test invite today.

Application Type: Online
Location: Ottawa, ON
Physical Prescence: 1587 Days
Application Sent: May 31, 2026
AOR: August 27, 2026
Got Test Invite: Sept 8, 2026


So it looks like we dont schedule the test? We just have 30 days to go to the link and start it? Does this mean at any time any date within 30 days. We just go to the link, click start test, fill in UCI and application details and we can start? There will be a live person ready to watch us? Or am i mistaken?

For example our end dare is Oct-10-2026, can we go to the link on october-9-2026 and do the test then?
