October 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[e_ca]

guys, is there any movement on the Online Applications? Any insights?

Nope, Based on July/Aug data we probably have to wait for around 150 days for a test invite. I regret applying online

So they’re delayed by how many days compared to paper ones?

paper ones are getting test invites as quickly as 30-60 days. But it's very random. Online ones are consistent with around 150 days of invitation

AOR Oct 15, 2021 ( Paper application).
Mar 11, 2022 - invitation for the citizenship test online between March 11, 2022 and March 31, 2022.
At the same time all previous steps ( skills, presence, background, prohibitions) are "In progress" in the Status tracker dashboard .

Is this normal, similar of what other people have?

It doesn’t seem to me that your estimate is accurate. Here’s @Alex54321 for example. It’s a paper application in October and it was 144 days until they heard back about the test. Seems to me that everyone is on the same boat.

I think it is very random. I submitted a paper application and reaching 140 days. No progress yet.

That;s just one example, I'm talking about average if you see the sheet.

No there are more examples on the spreadsheet. I don't think your assumption is accurate.

It's not an assumption if it's based on data lmao, look into data yourself. May/June/July Online vs Paper and urgent applications excluded.
To make it easier for you average for July is 100 days for paper application and 148 days for online application from AOR to test invite. Again just a simple average of data by removing special cases and those who didn't update the info.

It is an assumption by definition, because you're interpretation of the data is skewed. You should be comparing from the date the application was received, not from AOR. There are online applications that got AOR before paper ones in July.
