November 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[Durango_xx]

We are in the same boat, my application delivered on Nov 30th, hopefully we should get our AOR's during this week.

I checked my postal mailbox today, and found my entire set of application documents returned. The reason was that i probably misread the ID requirements for my 2 kids. I had included a Biographical passport page and their PR card copies as identification. The letter dated 17 Jan 2023, stated the alternate IDs i could use, and hence I have now inserted their OHIP cards (front and back) together with their Biographical passport page. Everything else remains the same. The applications for my wife and I were marked complete. I also included a cover letter for each stating the new document added for each child. Hopefully it gets accepted this time around. Full set of documents have been mailed back earlier this afternoon.

I got the standard email that everyone recieves a week after AOR that you can view your application status in the tracker.

Title:
Follow the progress of your citizenship grant application / Suivez le progrès de votre demande d’attribution de la citoyenneté

Wow, sorry to hear that they return the application, I think due to the Minor Application guide, the copy of PR only can be accepted if the second ID is issued from the Canadian government! so you can send OHIP + PR copy. ( You can add photo ID from service Ontario or school records id)

For my kids I sent a PR copy+ OHIP( there is no photo on the card)+ landing paper + single journey travel document! One of my kids doesn't have a passport!
All the best!

Hi Sorry to hear that. How about the adults? did you receive AOR?

Hi Sorry to hear that. How about the adults? did you receive AOR?

No AOR. Since it is a group (family) application, we will only receive the AOR once all applications are complete. Hopefully the AOR should come in next week as they have already assigned file numbers to it.

Wait for 48-72 hrs before creating the account.

hey I have a question, on the spreadsheet I see "In Progress ecas", what exactly is that?
I received email today "Follow the progress of your citizenship grant application with the Citizenship Application Tracker", so I think this is the link to sign in:

https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login

and when I register and logged in, it shows "in progress" for all 3 of us. Is this ecas? does it mean our app is officially IP?


I did another search and found another page to check status:

https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do

This is the client application status, but after logging in it only shows "application received".

So questions:
1. what is the diff between the two trackers above?
2. why aren't they the same result?
3. which one should I use to track the status from now? the first one seems more accurate because it needs registration IMO.

1. The first link is the new tracker and the second is the old ECAS tracker. Online applicants have access only to the new tracker and it shows everything in progress from the beginning.
2. ECAS goes into progress just before BG is complete. There is no equivalency between these published by IRCC. ECAS "decision made" is equivalent to Lang, Prohibitions, and Physical Presence being marked as complete on the new tracker.
3. The first one as it is more detailed. However the online tracker lags GCMS by 48-72 hours (sometimes more). Since it is new, it's also buggy at times
