Actually, I want to update my missing employment history in my file but in webform I didnt find any enquiry box or link for upload the documents?
Please help me if someone knows how to do it.

Hi Guys, is the process still the same? Or is it only for postal application? I am planning to apply online if possible. Is there any guide for online application? Sorry if it is a repeated question.
As of today, Most applicants can now apply online to become a Canadian citizen.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/apply.html#online

Once you create your account and start application, you can see proper instructions step-by-step.
https://citapply-citdemande.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/landing

BTW... I'd suggest that you do not read anything under "Apply on paper" section... and do not click links under "Apply on paper, Get an application package" section (unless you apply on paper)... Some of instructions (e.g. document checklist) is not applicable for online application (e.g. the guide says "2 photos" but online application form only require one", the guide says "copies of full pages of your passport" but online application form shows different requirement, etc etc)

Hope this helps.

Where is my file processed ?

Application from Ottawa on Nov 15
BG: Jan 24
Test Complete: Feb 5
Test email came from Niagara Falls

According to the tracker, Ottawa applications vary wildly in the timeframe. Some receive LPP and decision within 3 weeks of test, and others 3-4 months after.

Anyone knows if the whole file is processed in Niagara Falls or just the test ? Is there an Ottawa office or are Ottawa applications sent to different places ?

I've found this comment (June 2024), the applicants experienced office change during processing.

To know where is your file processed, you might need to request GCMS notes.
