January 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[JHT]

Just to inform those who have passed the test that the results could be in a tracker in a couple of days.
My wife has passed the test on Tuesday (around noon) and the result is visible only now.
For some reason she was removed from the Google spreadsheet (sgorbv) file so the time line is :
submit: 26 Jan
received : 2 Feb
AOR: 26 Mar
Test scheduled : 17 Jun
Test window: 25 Jun - 15 Jul
Test passed : 13 Jul
Test confirmed : 15 Jul

That was a family paper application from Montréal.

There was a hesitation on our side because right after the test when it showed : "Passed" my wife clicked something , page reloaded and this information disappeared. And she never received any confirmation for the test being passed.

So don't worry , everything is recorded , and the result is eventually registered.

Congratulations!

May I ask did you have more than 20 exits From Canada mentioned in your application’s travel history ?

 

[Help!]

Anyone new applied online got anything?

The question is not quite for me but in my case we had 13 exits with 33 days in total (mostly one day trips)

Given this trend, I decided to send a paper application today. Even if it will harm my online application. It can't get any worse. Who supports this guys?

I would not advise to submit paper on top of electronic application.
Yes, paper ones advance way better now than the electronic ones, but :
1. it is hard to predict how do they approach in the future based on previous behavior since it seems that they do not have any strict procedures and many factors could influence the result. E.g. they can start giving priority to electronic apps over paper. you never know.
2. the situation is not good but it is not so bad either. January applications start to receive AORs recently (comparing to march-april period when there were no news whatsoever). So if you've submitted in January you may receive your AOR quite soon
3. most important : they explicitly ask not to send paper application for those who have already submitted electronic ones. That could confuse their system and you could end up with even worse situation than now.

just my 5 cents

Question on filling out employment history under bullet 11: What to write if for a certain duration if you are unemployed?

Should I mention: " Not Applicable " under name of the employer? What should I write in address / City /Country?

I’ve seen a post in one of the Facebook groups that he received his AOR on June 7th and he applied online on Jan 10th(ish). So hopefully they’re picking up on the online applications.

Have you guys got AOR? I am an online Jan 12 2021 applicant. No AOR yet

Last AOR came for 11th January applicant. I think you will be next to receive AOR. Keep checking your inbox/spam folders.

How does one know which office test the test invitation letter? Basically, the local office working on the file.

You can find that out from the abbreviation of the office name in the email ID from which you receive the test invitation. For example, you'll see MIS for Mississauga and SCR for Scarborough.
