Hi, I submitted in Jan 2020 without filing my tax since you can only file in March, my application is currently in process status like everyone else. So the short answer is that you can and I advise you proceed, as long as you check the box for them to access your NOA from CRA, considering you must have filed before your application gets to the stage where this will be required they will be able to pull this as well. Although I have heard there are inconsistencies depending on the officer processing your file but I don’t see what you have to lose by going ahead with the application now, if they return it then you resubmit.

Hope this helps!
Just to add, you might try calling them again and hear a second opinion from a different agent and If you you are advised same as the earlier agent then it might make sense to wait since they might be more informed than we are.
Goodluck!

Is IRCC processing new applications or are they still on holidays?
Last date I see on the spreadsheet for AOR is for applications who sent it in September and some received the AOR in December.

There are other milestones beyond AOR. Moving applications into IP, test invites, oath invites and oath ceremonies. I have seen some good progress with June / July 2020 applicants getting IP and some test invites for 2019 applicants. They are indeed working.

Thank you! It is easy to lose sight and focus only on what we have been waiting for and forget that indeed there are other milestones!
I appreciate your help!

Does anyone know if an item is added in online status for below 2 scenarios ? The reason for my ask is, there is always a small possibility of missing email incase it goes to spam folder. Only way to avoid this risk is, if online status captures these items(online status can be checked periodically)
1. When Citizenship test request email is sent for the applicant ?
2. When Citizenship oath request email is sent for the applicant ?

The security clearance expires in 12 months AFAIK. Since yours was done in Feb 2020 and it is going to be 1 year now and since IRCC thinks they cannot complete your application before that, they might be asking for another set of prints. This has been happening to quite a few people lately.

You would have to get a new set of prints and re-send it to them.

Good luck!
