As of today, Most applicants can now apply online to become a Canadian citizen.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/apply.html#online
Once you create your account and start application, you can see proper instructions step-by-step.

BTW... I'd suggest that you do not read anything under "Apply on paper" section... and do not click links under "Apply on paper, Get an application package" section (unless you apply on paper)... Some of instructions (e.g. document checklist) is not applicable for online application (e.g. the guide says "2 photos" but online application form only require one", the guide says "copies of full pages of your passport" but online application form shows different requirement, etc etc)
Hope this helps.
Where is my file processed ?
Application from Ottawa on Nov 15
BG: Jan 24
Test Complete: Feb 5
Test email came from Niagara Falls
According to the tracker, Ottawa applications vary wildly in the timeframe. Some receive LPP and decision within 3 weeks of test, and others 3-4 months after.
Anyone knows if the whole file is processed in Niagara Falls or just the test ? Is there an Ottawa office or are Ottawa applications sent to different places ?

I've found this comment (June 2024), the applicants experienced office change during processing.

To know where is your file processed, you might need to request GCMS notes.
Hello Everyone,
I am applying for my Citizenship and looking for guidance to calculate physical presence part.
My timeline is
Study completed - 10 May 2019
Open Work Permit -
Work permit applied - 14 May 2019
issue date - 12 August 2019
expiry date - 12 August 2020
Application submitted for PR applied (PNP) - Dec 2019
applied for extension - 05 August 2020
PR approved - 15 April 2021
but NO decision was made on Work permit extension and fee was refunded on June 02, 2021
basically I got approved for PR before Work permit extension decision.
but now when I am applying for Citizenship, I am having difficulty to complete the Physical presence part.
* During your 5-year eligibility period, did you have valid temp resident status before becoming PR?
ans. - YES
add temp residence status
Status - Temp Foreign Worker
date you received the status - 2019 - aug - 12
date status expired - 2020 - aug -12
did you apply for extension - YES
date you applied - 2020 - aug - 05
did you get approval - ????
now I am confused here. If I choose "NO" it asks for refusal date which I don't have
if I choose "YES" it asks for date it was extended.
Please provide me guidance, how to answer this section
Thank you in advance!!!

I put my PR date - 15 April 2021
but it says date should be before PR was given whether extension was approved or refused.
there is no box to put comments.
it's not even giving me the option to use Physical Presence Calculator
In my recent research (will have this scenario for a family member shortly), for 2024 you'd check the box yes for required to file and no for 'did you file this year.'. No, it won't cause a problem - you have to file three times, and you've done that; and they will have the chance to check later anyway (if they were going to, which I think is hypothetical).
Happy for others to correct if wrong.

I am filling out my Canadian citizenship application and need clarification on the address history section. I took two vacations, each about three months long.
During my first vacation, I kept my rental in Canada, so I assume I can just continue listing that address. However, during my second vacation, I vacated my rental, put my belongings in storage, and traveled to India and Dubai. While in India, I stayed at my family home (which I can list), but in Dubai, I stayed in hotels with no fixed address.
How should I report my address for the time spent in Dubai? Should I list my Indian address for part of the period and leave the Dubai stay blank with an explanation, or is there another way to handle this?
