November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[Sevou]

Hey @USProgrammer,

Are you able to link GC key with the citizenship application. all I can see is tracker that but no updates all I have is AOR from 2nd December. I applied on 17th November. I tried to link with my GC key but every time I am getting application not found.

eCAS only works for Paper application. For online you have to use the new tracker. I am not sure about PR tracking with this.

PR is another portal... very confusing but it is what it is lol

Seems like a bunch of people got ghost updates on Jan 25th. Did anything change in your tracker after it? I got a ghost update on Saturday Jan 25th too.

Based on my previous experience when I was applying for PR, I noticed that sometimes it can take a few days for the system to update or refresh.

I am aware of that too. It could be our test invites on the way, or I’ve also seen some folks say that the first ghost update is a result of the Sydney office transferring our application from the intake office to the local processing office. Hopefully we hear something soon to confirm.

Depends, in my case, GU was followed by a BG complete. No sign of the test invite though.
