[DECEMBER] Online Citizenship Applicants

[BOYX]

Hello Everyone,

I am opening this thread for all the December Online Citizenship applicants. I believe the processing times will differ between the online and the paper based groups. Therefore, it will be fruitful to have this separate thread for the online applicants.

To verify if you are eligible to apply, go here.

To access the application portal, go here.

To be comprehensive, you must meet the following conditions to apply as stated by the IRCC:

• you’re eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship
• you have a valid email address
• you’re between 18 to 54 years of age when you submit your online application
• you’re applying for yourself only (not with your family)
• you do not have a representative
• in your physical presence calculation, you do not include time spent outside Canada as a
  • crown servant or,
  • family member of a crown servant

I will edit this post if any new information comes to light.

Good luck Everyone!

Also, I have tried applying online; however, I am unable to successfully do so. I keep receiving a "Your application failed to submit" prompt when trying to submit my application. I wonder if anyone else here is facing a similar issue.

And if anyone successfully manages to submit their application, please do let us know.

May be they released beta-version ( testing stage)

Hi all, confirming - the system is already up and running and I submitted my citizenship application online today here https://citapply-citdemande.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/landing

Feel really fortunate since I got everything printed out and was about to mail it as paper based today but then learned about the online method last night (thanks to this forum!)

I DID NOT receive AOR right away. Below is the message I got in the end, if it helps:

[BOYX]

Just today afternoon. Even right now, it isn't working.

Oops sorry I totally missed your message!

EDIT: I am using my safari browser. Could it be the reason? Since I tried it using Safari on both my Mac and iPhone.

I did not get any errors, worked first time. I'm also on Safari. Did you make sure all parts are complete and have green checkmarks? Not sure what to recommend, except signing out - signing in or if nothing helps starting application from scratch from a new account. I did register as a new client for this even though I had had an IRCC account

I guess I am just super unfortunate. Wow this is really depressing. I created three different accounts, I used so many different browsers. I have all the checkmarks and everything. I did it in one go and I also signed in, signed out. I know the tool just came out but I cannot for the life of me figure out why it isn't submitting. It's extra annoying given no one else seems to be having this issue.
Bad day I guess

it is not just you,my friend called IRCC and their answer was to keep trying..it is common to have technical glitches when a new platform kicks in.
good luck
