I suggest you don't do that. You will gain nothing from that and still have to pay the citizenship fee again. Having said that, usually online process is tad faster than that of the paper and I wouldn't be surprised if you get an early date for the exam. Hang in there mate.

Sounds great! It was an urgent processing case?
Just 2 weeks after getting AOR, right?
Not urgent. Yes, 2 weeks.

I had submitted a webform 2 days back to provide details of my Visitor visas (Q13). It seems they touched my application to include that information. Not sure if it is really In Process, or just automatic status change because of that.

That's awesome! I feel like it's only fitting that you are the first one to get the ECAS in process in January 2021 applicants, with all that you do with upkeep of the excel tracking spreadsheet. Thanks for all of your work!

My application was received on Jan 28. In excel sheet I am the only one yet to receive AOR with Jan 28 delivery date. Feeling a bit worried now.

Don't be, it's still early for AOR:
Wait until you receive your AOR
Last updated: March 24, 2021


We’re now sending AOR letters or emails for applications received
the week of January 21, 2021
If you still haven’t received your AOR, your application may be
  • taking longer for us review due to COVID-19
  • incomplete and on its way back to you, or
  • going through further review before we start processing it
