What does my status mean in the application status tracker?

In your application status tracker account, you’ll find

• your overall application status
• application details
• your application history
• contact details
• the status of your documents
• your next steps (if this applies)

Application status updates will only show up after you get an acknowledgement of receipt (AOR) letter or email. You’ll get an AOR after we get your application and check that it’s complete.

Until then, you may be able to find

• the date we got your application
• your contact information

Overall status

• Received means we got your application and we’re checking if it’s complete.

  • You can also see the progress for each section of your application.
• Closed means
  • we approved your application
  • we refused your application or
  • you withdrew (cancelled) or abandoned your application
    • We’ll contact you before we close your application.
