August 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

Dont think that is quite possible. If there is stuff missing, they dont give you AOR and ship it back to ya.
I imagine it's like PR, you don't get AOR if your documents aren't complete and valid.
What's the worry about their language proof? It's pretty lax and straightforward.
I just passed my citizenship test (19/20). Difficulty level was moderate.
Initially I did not receive the link. My link was directly going into trash whereas I was checking my spam folder.
I read Discover Canada two times and practiced from the following fours sites:

Application filed
We have received your application and have begun to process your application. Information about next steps and required action items will be coming soon.
One important point; if you are applying from Ontario use "Health Card"; Reason being Ontario Driver License's fonts are not very much clear or screen readable; I was unable to take a clear photo of Driver's License and the same is the case with PR Card and due to this my first link expired. The fonts of the Health Card are very clear and readable. This is just an advice.

Thanks for this. I'm taking the test in another 17 minutes, I'll use my health card.

Your signature says you are a 2020 applicant. I mean no offense, but what is your interest in August 2019 applicants posts?

If you look more closely, my interest would be for 24 months worth of applications - From Jan 2019 to December 2020. I have been updating the spreadsheets - keeping track of timelines for all 2019 and 2020 applicants for a while now.
I do this because I want to get a grasp on how the applications are moving and how the processing times are changing with time.
If only most people took a greater interest and patience in reading older threads and observing trends, we wouldn’t have a thousand questions of “I just X, how long till Y” every day.
That's cool, thanks.
Looking on the spreadsheets I got the impression August applicants could expect to get to 80-85% tests completed by December 2021 (that is, some 3% monthly increments or 4-5 test invites by monthly cohort). In other words, things are moving veeeeeeery slowly and maybe a third of us still waiting for a test won't have citizenship Oaths before way into the winter in 2022. Sounds correct?
A lot of entries are in the spreadsheet are stale. For September 2020, I try to keep it as updated as I possibly can but for other months, someone from that thread should take up that responsibility. Because of the stale entries, it might appear that people are not getting test invitations or updates on their application, which isn't a true representation of reality. A number of applicants in the September 2020 thread are (fortunately) active and provide updates on a regular basis. If you look at September 2020 data, the test invites have been coming in at a rather rapid pace (compared to the previous months). If IRCC is re-opening, then in-person AND online formats of both the test and oath would likely be conducted and this will certainly serve the purpose of tackling the backlog we have now (especially the backlog for oath ceremonies).
You are right. Very very few invites to 2019 applicants, but a lot around 90% of invites to 2020 applicants. Unfair.
Thanks!
You touched an important point: forum activity.
I don't know to what extent the problem is IRCC neglecting 2019 applicants or if it is 2019 applicants who got tired and now neglect the forum.
It is certainly both, but no idea to what degree.

So I had a talk with IRCC agent today , I asked her about my status what GCMS shows and What new trackers shows . She said Prohib no started . So basically this confirms what you see on fancy tracker is not true status but ur GCMS is true. so keep ordering every month to get yourself relieved.
Secondly ,I mentioned all 2020 and 2021 applications are moving fast because they are online and as I see stats too they are getting oath invites ccompared to 2019/2018 paper applicants should i apply online then ?
She became pisssed off and in a rude awakening said you can cannot compare to them as each applicant is different.
I said its 22 months should i apply online and get complete refund for my current app ? she said nothing is needed as for now but u cannot put multiple applications and you only get 100 dollar refund for the certificate if u withdraw.
With a sigh i hanged up the phone.
