    Yes we are June applicants. I still can't see anything on my ECAS and no, our application isn't urgent. They haven't even sent any AOR to any of us in the application (we are family application btw). Not going to keep my hopes high on this. For as long as we don't have AOR, not gonna expect...

    If there were few number of applications submitted last April and May, we might hear some AORs on our group by October. I would have been March applicant if photo studios didnt close last March due to the pandemic haha

    Courrier or regular mail ?

    Use courier. It's a bit pricey but it's way quicker. I used FedEx to send my application and it took them more or less 24 hours to deliver to Sydney from Montreal. So unless you aren't in a rush, courier FTW! :)

    Well we aren't sure as well as to how diligent and religious people are doing their updates on this forum. Probably most of Jan applicants have already received their AOR but some forgot or have no time yet to update us here hehe

    Does anyone foresee IRCC implementing online submission for citizenship applications?

    Applications for PR Card renewals are still paper-based. You still need to download, fill out, print, and send them the application package. The only thing you can do online is.... paying of fees.

    June 2020 - Citizenship Application

    This I kinda don't understand really. Why process a visitor visa when it's still almost impossible, or at least still restricted, to travel to Canada? Why not re-allocate some of the manpower to Citizenship and PR Card Renewals applications which don't have much restrictions in place. I'm juts...

    Physical Presence Calculator

    It's not a matter of its relevance but it's just how it is suppose to be :) It's a part of the whole process. They're not gonna ask for it if they won't use it at some point. As to how and where will they use it, no one really knows.

    "The photographs must be identical and taken within the last six months. They may be either black and white or colour. " I got that from the website, so your 3 months old photo should be good. But if I were in your shoes, I'll just get new ones if it won't be that expensive ;)

    No. Travels should be declared on the physical presence calculator. If you are unemployed, write unemployed. Hope this help :)

    Yeah, I would definitely recommend FedEx. I sent my application yesterday (Jun 3) and it was delivered today (Jun 4). So exactly 24 hours. I used Express Priority shipping and it only cost me 21$ plus tax. I'm from Montreal.

    Hello, I'll try to answer your questions the way I answered mine. I maybe wrong so other inputs are very much welcomed. for Q11: Declare everything even part time works/studies. It's better to be safe than sorry since they'll find it out anyways. Overlapping of dates are fine. for Q13...

    I see okay. I asked çoz I didnt see the transaction being posted on my cc account even under "pending transactions" which led me to believe that it wasn't processed at all. Anyways, all good now :) Thank you! :)
