For which parts of the process do I need to be inside the country, and which parts of the process can I leave the country?

Thanks

Oath you have to be in the country. Test you can give outside Canada too. Very difficult to predict timelines based on old data. AOR used to complete within a week during June 22 but now taking months. So things change drastically.

I think these dates reflect 2021 . The 2022 dates are slightly changed are the AOR is near to January 2022 for submissions done in first week of November 2022

 

[glenn9090]

I am resubmitting my application today and will update the excel sheet as needed. Cannot access the google spreadsheet.

Isn't oath being done online now? Is that the only process where I need to be physically located in Canada?

Yeah I understand the timelines change a lot even monthly.

Would you like to provide a more accurate estimation? Maybe on a spreadsheet with recent data?

Resubmitting, why?

I also cannot access the sheet
