June 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[$Navi$]

I don’t think any of the users update other users’ info. Request edit access for the spreadsheet, and you’ll be able to update it yourself.

I wonder if the spreadsheet is still reliable as mine is not updated either. It would have been easier to compare if the spreadsheet had been revised regularly by the admin or whoever was taking care of it.

I agree with this. They are good at giving access. I mean we have to think about how overwhelmed the admin team must be -- tracker requests for every month including going as far back as 2021.

So, why can't the edit option be open to anyone if it's hard to update, so that any member can update their info by themselves? Btw it's a genuine question as I'm not sure why it is view only or it has to be like that?

Well, as I mentioned, just ask for access (there’s an instruction somewhere in the spreadsheet itself, I believe), and then the information can be reliably updated. We can’t expect admins to do it for hundreds of thousands of data points. At the end of the day, I suspect that it’s a voluntary thing for them, I don’t think they get paid for it and probably have jobs and other major things to do.

I have a question here I applied on paper and have submitted PR Card and Passport as minor's ID. Will that be the same case? and if so how can correct it if I still haven't got the AOR. Also Ontario health cards do not have photo for minors.

Passport and pr card are fine.

That's a Sure thing that they do have important stuff to take care of. Anyways, it's a great platform to get info. Their work is appreciated. Hope they get more people who can help.

I also live in Ottawa. Had my background completed on July 26th. No word on the test yet, although others with similar AOR and background complete dates as me have either gotten the test invite or taken it. Not sure if I am assigned to Ottawa but I am guessing I probably am. AOR to background complete was super fast at 8 days though.

Just got an update for the citizenship test. Hope you have as well. AOR was Jul 5th! Hopefully, it goes faster from here on out.
