Paper vs Online citizenship application in 2022
- Thread starter chaudri
- Start date
oh well... i applied in July 2021 for online application.....its been over 4months after AOR and nothings happened ,, while some paper applicants who applied few months earlier already done the Oath .... lol
oh .. hummm.. as i worked for IRCC (canadian embassy) before,,, no one can take any file outside the workplace with them in any situation lolI read few things here and there and just giving you a brief.
Looking at the current pandemic, the IRCC agent can take the envelop for paper applicants and work on them at their home. For online applicants the issue might be more of a security reason that they can't access certain things on internet ( not sure what jargon to use lol ) and that is why there are limited applications being processed for them. As we move in future, once everything is back to normal Online applicants would get more traction as it's easier to work on them rather than handling all the paperwork .
In short - Paper for now, Online later
i regret applying online , paper applicants who applied in aug 2021 getting test invites.
There is no backlog with online applications. They can access any time, plenty of storage. With paper applications storage is limited and they keep piling up so they need reduce the paper backlog therefore they process them quick. some applicants who applied on same date paper vs online , paper applicants have test done already.
from the google sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iXCMs0mYtJZwYTTIH3LDmHK1tgK7yqAgQ5Jfyxv7BEI
it seems Paper is moving faster.
However, the real reason may be that IRCC is under pressure to bring as many citizens as possible. The easiest way is to process more Family application (paper) than Individual application (online or paper).

Currently paper applicants are facing delay in receiving AOR so keep an eye on the Sep, Oct tab of the spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_KE3Bu3C3gOyEm0mRVcJH9nEA2u2GOhfpUZOckOWmN0
Also there is a trend of paper applicant from Toronto, Vancouver seeing faster processing than say Ottawa or Montreal.
You have a month to track the trend on the spreadsheet and then make your decision.
Is that from the tracker on Google Doc? I'm trying to read it (first time, sorry) but I don't see any information there about paper vs online? Am I missing something?
