September 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[ryalla]

Hi all,

below are my application details. still waiting for AOR..

Application type: Paper based
Application: Family (3)
Location: Toronto
Application submitted: Sept 20, 2021
Application received: Sept 23, 2021

anyone still in the same boat waiting for AOR?

Mine and my spouse applications are returned today reason was "You have not submitted two identification documents." i have sent passport and PR card photocopies as id proofs, but looks like PR card is not considered as identification document.

can we send Driving license and medical cards as proof?

i have both but my spouse doesn't have a driving license, medical card should be good enough right?

Sad to know. I have the same problem. I send a copy of PR card as one of my identification card. Probably they might have send the application back. I did not receive it though. Since i moved to US, I put my friends address as mail address. He is not in town this week to check the post.

Using a PR card as one of your IDs isn't a problem as long as your second one is a Canadian issued ID card.

But unfortunately i used my Indian passport and second id

and do i need to submit a new application or just sending back the received application is good enough? our applications are stamped with received date as september 23. now its more than 90 days since my application is stamped.

since my application is stamped on september 23, is it okay if i just send the returned application?

I have the same question aswell.

 

[Lithiumwow]

Was the error due to a time zone difference in the submission?

No the date for physical presence wasn't correct just had to change to the 1 day before the submission date. So if you are submitting today the calculation will be till yesterday.

They probably should have mentioned that somewhere as part of the returned application, but as far as I know you need to update the physical presence calculator when resubmitting your application

Are september applicants getting any other updates besides AOR ??
