ok. https://atimmigrationlaw.com/ this lawyer helped me my file was paper applied in oct 2020 and was stuck for almost 20 months same old covid reason and i attended my citizenship test outside Canada so one more reason for delay. But after filing Mandamus all of a sudden there was no covid or delay. Oath was scheduled and decision was made. Most of the application sent during covid are lying in shelf with Month and year dated. Priority is given to online applications from what I know its easy to process rather than taking out old files and work on them. Upto you guys if you want headache of checking application everyday or go through lawyers.
