I am still waiting for "In-Process" status. Going by trends, it should be changed within a week or so. Fingers crossed.

Are only 55% Nov-2020 Applicants In-Progress yet or is it because info is not updated by them in tracker? Below are early applicants of Nov.

I can follow up with status updates that I have for a few of them:

@engage replied to me today, he's still waiting
@Bbbjjjhhh only just received his AOR via e-mail recently, something about their application isn't being processed properly/normally

I've contacted a few of those users a few times but haven't heard back.

Additionally, I cannot reach out to @rohan93apr because he doesn't exist on these forums and the application is being updated from another source (possibly the sheet's master admin can deal with it).

I would say that a majority of them should have received their In Process notifications but haven't updated the group yet, so the 'real' number is likely closer to 60% right now.

I think ECAS is being updated once a day, so there is no need to check twice;)

Whats the location for the people who havent received the in process updates? Is it predominantly GTA?
Overall i am guessing by looking at the other threads...Scarborough/Mississauga offices are the slowest also that's no wonder cause they processed the highest number of applications

According to the tracker, 68% and 65% of September and October applicants have had their aplicaction status changed to in progress, so is normal that some early November applicants like myself have not seen any process yet.
I would be careful about starting to get too pushy for updates. I’m sure once there is new info most people will update their timeline, just refrain from hounding them, by doing that you are just making the wait more stressful

Hello. I'm a newbie to this forum, and this is my first post. :)

Here's my timeline and details:

Application type: Single
Physical presence days: 1150
Application Received: 9 November 2020
AOR: 3 February 2021
In Process: 17 March 2021
Fingerprint Request: 18 March 2021
Fingerprint Done: 22 March 2021
Location: Calgary, AB

My fingerprints were requested by CPC Sydney. Does this mean that my application is still not handed to my local IRCC office? I thought that when the status changes to In Process, it's handed over to the IRCC closest to where I am based. Thanks.

I understand what you are saying, but this is also a fact that many applicants don't provide updates in timely manner after adding their details. Specially for In Progress status since no email is sent.

2 days back when followed up on another thread an applicant told that his application was returned & he has sent it again.

I'm glad you brought that up and I wanted to talk about that.

I decided to take a look into it finally to see if I can completely validate my earlier statement about the sheets being riddled with stale data, so I decided to take October as an example and go from there.

As you can see - the quality of the data we have to work with for October is pretty bad, so we cannot assume that there are significant numbers of people (at least, from the tracker) that are still pending their AORs beyond a certain threshold. Additionally, a lot of folks aren't aware that they need to check their eCAS for updates to In Process - there will be no e-mail communique for the same, so most people don't even know unless specifically asked to check.

I agree with you about not hounding, but at the same time, zero initiative also clearly doesn't yield results/data. :)

Hey canjpnphl,

Welcome to the forums :) - can you let me know when you sent your application? I can add the detail to the tracker as well as it was missing from your post.

This is what I’m talking about, making this type of lists is a little too much, is like you are saying “look they stopped reporting their data, shame on them!” (When the truth is that you are just speculating) .I don’t think is good and it almost makes me hesitant to keep reporting my data.

Purpose of sharing this data is to help in analysing current trend. Many of us do such analysis individually to estimate dates for our own case. Its not about shaming but I feel less data with more accuracy is better than large volume of incorrect data.

Hello thread members,

Happy to inform that my application status has been updated to In processing! Took 05 weeks and 02 days from AOR.

When can we expect call for online citizenship test now? Another 03-04 months perhaps or longer?
