Applicants who gave the test outside Canada and got Oath

One of my friend sat for citizenship test outside Canada and after waiting for some months she contacted IRCC via webform and got to know that her file was on hold and her application will now fall outside processing times because she gave the test outside Canada.

Wow. I am not surprised as they started to take notes on who is outside Canada. Was she in Canada when she contacted them by webform?

Yup, she contacted them from Canada. Not sure if they are finding any point to delay applications.

Interesting. I don't see any reason not to resume her application normally once she is in Canada. But even while an applicant outside Canada, there don't have any legal justification not to process the application normally. They say on their website an applicant can leave Canada after submitting the application, and they don't mention any entailed consequences.

She did get an answer by submitting webform, that is surprising. Does this mean that IRCC has resumed normal webform service instead of ignoring all non-urgent requests?

Apparently yes but it depends on the officer whether to ignore or respond.

Exactly, even they have allowed applicants to write the exam while out of country. IRCC can do anything they want with the applications because no one can challenge them and the legal route is so expensive.
