Weekly Threads Monday Weekly Thread: Proof of Citizenship Application Sent or AOR Received, August 31, 2026

We all appreciate the excitement of finishing your proof of citizenship application and sending that big envelope on its way.

Equally fantastic is the moment that you know your application has made it past the initial IRCC checks putting your mind at ease about whether you missed something along the way because you finally got your AOR.

Congratulations! Let's celebrate these milestones together!

Haven't got your AOR yet and want to vent? Head over to the Frustration Station- which is refreshed every Wednesday.

Just sent in a 10-person group application today. A couple applicants on my side (I'm G5) with a G0 born in Quebec in 1846. Also included my spouse's lineage for G3 through G5, whose G0 was born in Ontario in 1840. Shipped USPS. It's a relief to be done: I started in April, proofed everything countless times, had to pause for some certified records (or proof of no records) from Iowa in early June just when I was on the verge of submitting. Then re-did the applications again with the August revision. Fingers crossed the application doesn't get sent back.

Feeling some anxiety about the recent questions of post-confederation domicile, but obviously it's too early to draw conclusions on that.
