[DECEMBER] Online Citizenship Applicants

[simfhs]

Hey Everyone!

Here is the Application Tracker for the Online Citizenship Applicants: [ONLINE] 2020 Citizenship Tracker

Ignore the Averages section since it's broken. I will fix it in the coming days. Of course, all credits go to the original author of the main tracker. I maintained their style in order to maintain familiarity. I amended the sheet to account for aspects which are unique to our situation e.g I added an interview invitation column.

I also restricted access to the sheet to prevent trolls from playing with it. Of course, the trolling issue is quite a prevalent one given the experience we just had lol

If you would like to edit the sheet, feel free to request access on the sheet. Once you do so, just PM me on this forum with the Google account you requested access from. I will approve your request subsequently. Alternatively, you can post your status update on this thread and either I or any of the other approved users will add you to the tracker.

If there is anything else in the sheet that you would like to add or if anything is broken, do not hesitate to let me know.

Good luck with your applications!

Hi @simfhs / @citizenship.enthusiast / @zkqxcv / All - Couple of questions:

1) For 2 pieces of personal ID, were you able to upload the jpeg?
Mine continues to spin and says 'Uploading id.jpeg' for more than 20 minutes.
Please advise how you uploaded yours.

2) For 'other supporting documents', is there a file size limit?

3) Any idea where in Toronto we can get digital photo? Photo service in most places is shut due to lockdown.

1) I uploaded PDF
2) I would assume 4Mb as for anything else?
3) I got my pic taken at London Drugs but they don't operate in the east. I'm in BC. They uploaded my photo to a website and gave me a link and a code, so I could download jpg file after.

Does the online application has the option to apply for urgent processing?

 

[Gemini020]

I'm having trouble too.
I replaced all files with names without spaces and everything has check marks. Any other suggestions?

Unfortunately not I'm afraid.

No I was about to send the paper version this weekend but felt that online would be a better option.

Oh alright. Well unfortunately I have nothing to offer. I am stuck the same as you. I keep getting the "Fail to submit" message despite trying the application on 5 different accounts. Must be something specific to our files that the portal cannot yet handle.

People who were successful; did the review page mention correcting errors and filling out missing information? I feel I shouldn't be getting check marks if it recognized I missed something but maybe that's what's wrong with my application? For some reason I'm not getting a screenshot of it so here's a copy and paste


Before you submit your application

• correct any errors
• provide any missing information

Personal info	Ready
Contact info	Ready
Residence and tax	Ready
Work and school	Ready
Language proof	Ready
Prohibitions	Ready
Consent	Ready
Upload more documents	Ready
Pay fee	Ready

I was going through the HTML source code of https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/apply.html and I found this:


<!-- cit apply online banner START -->
<!-- 9 empty, 1 alert, 10% chance of getting the banner -->

IRCC hasn't taken down the banner which says `We’re testing a new online citizenship application. It’s now available for some applicants.`. They have just throttled it. So anyone who visits the page have 1 / 10 chance of seeing that banner. I confirmed this by refreshing the page multiple times (10 - 20) until I saw the banner.

Looks like there is no technical glitch. IRCC is just trying to throttle the traffic to their online application system.

Good find.
Few times the link appeared continuously in a row of 3 times when i did Shift+Refresh in chrome but later same trick was not working . And yes as you said, clicking multiple times continuously gives me the link sometimes.

Hello no i applied by paper application! There is no info about online application on IRCC website and they are tellinf to send paper applications. No updates yet Maybe it is a beta site. Anyway i applied by paper as requested on their site. I know TRV and some other visa type u can apply online already but citizenship no info updated abt it yet.
