Your citizenship application tracker

A simple and secure tool to check the status of your citizenship grant application

If you’re an applicant or a representative who has an Application Status Tracker (AST) account, you

can sign in to the citizenship tracker with the same AST information (such as your unique client identifier (UCI) or your party ID
must reset your password to sign in

You must still wait for your acknowledgement of receipt (AOR) letter or email before you use the citizenship tracker.

This tracker replaces the Client Application Status (CAS) tool. If you've been using CAS, you need to create a tracker account to continue checking the status of your citizenship application.

Create tracker account

If you're an applicant, you can register only after you receive your acknowledgement of receipt (AOR) letter or email.

Sign in to check your status

We updated the tracker on October 13, 2022. You must must reset your password if

you have an existing citizenship tracker account and
this is your first time signing in since October 13

If you are an applicant, you will be able to log in only after you create your account in the tracker.

If you applied on paper

It will take time for your application to arrive by mail
If you have a tracking number with a courier or postal service, you can check if they've delivered your application to us.

If you applied online

We’re currently testing a new online citizenship application with some applicants.

After you submitted your application:

you'll immediately get an email that confirms you've successfully submitted your application (this is not your AOR)
we need time to check that your application is complete before sending the AOR

If you've already applied on paper, do not submit an online application.
