Hi everyone, good luck in all your applications. I am planning to file a paper application but am having a hard time printing the citizenship application form. So far only Firefox has worked for me. Does the paper application form have a barcode as well or it won't have one like stated on the online version. Your response will be highly appreciated.

Yes, the paper application will generate a barcode once you fill the entire form and validate it. If you're unsure, please refer to video I had found on YT which helped me tremendously:

Feel free to fast fwd to the part where he walks you through the application process and watch till the end.

Good luck!

Hi @admin

Please update AOR Date on 1/17.

Also, after receiving AOR, how long will it take to register for tracker? I am not able to create a tracker account.

Guys, is Indian PCC required for citizenship? I have travelled for less than 100 days to India after my PR. It’s not 183 days in a row. Also before landing in Canada and becoming a permanent resident, I did submit my PCC as part of PR application. Do we require a new PCC?? Thank you!

Not required

2. Application Delivered - 3rd Nov 2022 (9:30 a.m) - L YOUNG
3. Documents returned - 30-12-2022 - For reason - "You have not submitted two identification documents."
4. Application resent - Purolator - 30th Dec 2022
5. Application Delivered - 04th Jan 2023 (2:24 p.m) - Gavin

Looks like we are on the same page.. 1 week apart

1. Application submitted: 4 Nov.2022
2. Application Delivered: 6 Nov. 2022
3. Docs rturned - same reason as above - 3 Jan 2023
4. Application resent: 4 Jan.2023
5. Application del: 6 Jan 2023

I sent the same set of application adding the additional set of requested documents as the website mentioned that we can use the same application within 90 days of signature.

Did you print and sent the new one or the one that was returned?

Question for the group, do AORs for paper application arrive via email or post?

If you have provided a valid e-mail in your application, AOR will be sent via e-mail. Else via Canada Post

i forgot to include second piece of ID for my kids. Was on an impression that they do not have second ID *with photo* but later realized that the second ID need not have a photo. Primary Id was the copy of passport.
