No, you can't apply online, because you have to print out the form and mail it out.Empirical-Scientist said:
The right way to do it is fill whatever you can on your computer, print it out, put N/As to all the not applicable parts with pen.
Sent the application in May, being sent back the whole thing in June because of passport already expired in 2013. Being asked for 4 years of passport photocopy. Didn't extend the passport, so resent with letter of explanation, and received by CIC in early July. Until now (1 August), nothing so far. Keep checking the mail box, lots of junk mail instead.
I read in other threads, some people sent in January 2014 and taken oath in August 2014. Another one even with RQ, sent in January 2014 and oath in July 2014.. Now faster???

2014 applications are processing faster even RQ than earlier years which is CIC internal polices to move faster to catch up with backlogs and reduce by 2015-2016 while new law takes in effect. Also there is a possibilities that parts of new law are already in effect such as increase interview officer power to approve without CJ. That is why many applicant in Mississauga office finds oath letter during the interview..
Any member here has an experience with expired passport without being extended? Would a letter of explanation that the passport was not being extended because of not having plan to travel, being accepted by CIC? I read in the CIC website stating that "if these documents are no longer in your possession, explain". I'm just afraid being sent back again the whole application, as that would take another 2-3 months and catching up with the new regulation. In the first attempt, I didn't check about that, so no explanation and being sent back.
