1. If they have a straightforward travel history with verifiable entry/exit documents like stamps and boarding passes then no need to wait for too long after the required physical days. 2. They have been prioritizing paper apps for now, but that can change at any time. So your best bet would be...

Truthfully no one can really tell. IRCC changes its mind like a kid in a candy store. They have prioritized paper applications up till now but no one knows when they will switch.

Yes, If IRCC finds out they can say you misrepresented facts on your application which can lead to a ban.

Lmao. This was the post I saw before applying online

You read correctly. its easy to process 5000 e-apps quickly lol. but the paper apps are skewed because of the 2019 to 2021 when IRCC shut down and told all staff to go home and take full salaries. So when they returned they just did whatever they liked, its not like the complaints would make...

If they can present improved processing times by quickly processing lots of new applicants then they'll look good in the media. Like with all due respect if they can process 2022 applicants in 4 months then why are there any 2019 or 2020 applicants still waiting? Nothing IRCC does makes any sense

And now with the hurricane we can now completely forget about our applications. Perhaps they'll get to it sometime in 2024 when they finish teaching their staff how to operate computers.

you looked at the tracker and you see January online apps just getting test invites just now and May paper apps receiving citizenship certificates and you can seriously say there's no difference? IRCC is completing some paper apps in 4 months, most online apps are seeing their first movement on...

May 2022 have already received their citizenship certificates. That's the complaint. They are processing paper 4 times faster than online

They are just adding the time of most files that were waiting pre-pandemic shutdown. I hope you are smart to understand nuances. Lets say 100 people who applied on paper are waiting on IRCC then pandemic happens, so 50 people apply during the shutdown on paper and 50 apply during the shutdown...

Wow, we are in for a long ride. You wonder why IRCC cant just make reasonable temporary changes to speed up applications. They once mention self administered oath and e-certificates. This could shave off a few weeks or even months from processing times. And from what I read they are having...

Wow, thats nice. Online applicants are getting their first updates after 7 months while paper applicants are getting their citizenship certificates in 4 months from when they applied. So balanced and fair. And IRCC wonders why they are getting overwhelmed with phone calls, web form inquiries...

I'm so happy for those who applied on paper in May getting the entire process done in 4 months. While those who applied since January online have not seen any movement in their files or any communication on what the plan for online applicants is. I was thinking I was doing the IRCC staff a favor...

You'll think IRCC would just add an option to automatically apply for a passport after the oath. Like they can just add an option to pay for the passport on the website. All information is there anyways. They don't have to do another background check.

Thanks for posting this. I hope the clowns that were telling us we are overreacting can read this. Why didn't IRCC first train the staff before accepting Online applications ? And they certainly don't still have enough staff to process the online applications in the inventory

I love how you pick and choose which data points support your argument. Now lets do how many paper apps have gone past background check vs online applicants. And also how many Paper apps have gotten test invites vs Online. You think everyone who applied online in 2022 is impatient and want...

lets all pretend that there's no proof of online applications in 2022 not being processed at the same rate as paper applications. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1_KE3Bu3C3gOyEm0mRVcJH9nEA2u2GOhfpUZOckOWmN0/htmlview#

@depenabill is a troll or a staff of IRCC, no one should engage. There is proof that Online applications made in 2022 are not being processed at all. Paper applications made in 2022 are being processed speedily, in some cases i have seen ones concluded in 4 months. We are not asking to be put...

Please keep us posted when you here anything. Thanks for making the requests on behalf of a lot of concerned people.

IRCC staff would never tell you the reason behind their actions. You can make a ATIM/GCMS request about it. An applicant here asked about the online applications and in IRCC's response they requested for 3 months to give an answer and the have been silent ever since. MP's don't know anything or...
