May 2021 - Citizenship Applications

Congratulations. Is it online application or paper?

Thanks. Paper application. Just wondering how we are receiving the test invite if only the background checks cleared.

It sounds so funny how applications are been processed. What is the reason for the online application when its even slower? one would argue that it was supposed to be faster. It just simply mean one should have submitted a paper application instead.

Any new test invitation?

I think that's a matter of personal opinion. I for one don't mind my online application being a month behind paper applications. The convenience of online correspondence far outweighs any short lag in processing.

Absolutely a matter of personal opinion. I will trade the convenience for a faster application. Nothing difficult in paper application

not yet, April applicants just started getting their BGs cleared last week

So update - spoke to few online Aug Aor's (PM's) - it seems many got Bgc cleared but haven't updated the records - @Strongfaith42 - if an admin can ask for an update - i think we have more data for tracking - Online Apr - Alberta -all offices most have Bgc cleared at this point but they have not recorded it.

my test dates start today and haven’t received test invite. Started to get nervous.

Did you get your test invite, yet?

Another address change question:

I live in BC. Here in BC when you submit an address change, the licensing authority gives you a sticker with the new address to stick over the old address on your DL. I just received one of those stickers for my DL as I recently moved. When the time comes for Online Knowledge Test (it hasn’t yet), will I have trouble using my DL with the sticker as my piece of ID? Anyone in BC in a similar situation as me?

Did you get your test invite, yet?

Unfortunately not. Called IRCC, they said there is discrepancy between what they see and what I see on tracker and they told me they will send Scarborough office an e-mail to look into it. I also filled and submitted Webform to have something in writing. The ball is on their court I guess.

Normally, how many days from the time the tracker gets updates with the test invite, to the time we receive the email invite?

Usually people get invite around 2 days before their window start. For example my window was supposed to start November 12, i would expect invitation by end of November 10.
