July 2020 - Citizenship application

[patnaik7]

Thank goodness I came across this thread...almost ready to send in my citizenship application. Are they accepting a paper-based citizenship application currently? I know for PR, TRV they have specified to apply online only..they conveniently declined to make a comment for citizenship applications though.

Hello,

Some PR applications need to be paper based, if they are PNP. Unless they changed the process. I know express entry is online. Well, envelopes with documents are delivered. So they get them. Do they work on them - that's different question

Ya, good point...so Citizenship applications are paper only at this point I assume?

Thank you for the pro tip...Now that you have mentioned it, on second thoughts I might use courier...Canad post seems heavily backlogged at the moment.

I would not. Canada post delivers to po box. It is slower but safer. I never had issues with canada post other than speed. Btw do not pay for signature, they do not sign during covid19

Hi Anton,
I just sent my application via CanadaPost express.
The person there told me that if I choose express, I need to send it to the courier address. So I did that.
Do you know if it might be a problem?
Thanks.

Hi Nikkohel,

I do not see it being a problem. It does not make a lot of sense though. PO box is used by canada post. I sent xpress post to regular mail address. Do not worry though. It will get there. Are u on the spreadsheet?
