Question - If there is a request for FP, will this come after the status changed to "In Process" or before ?

Hi,
I am an April applicant. When I was filling out the form, Q8 asks “is someone helping you fill out this form?” I ticked NO. The rest of the section disappeared leaving “would you like to name a representative?” To which I answered No.
When I printed the form, It printed the whole section of Q8... Meaning after “is someone helping you fill out this form?“ there was another question which was “are you paying someone to help you fill out this form?” I didn’t answer this question as it wasn’t supposed to show when I answered NO to first question.
Would my application be returned as incomplete because of this?
I am asking this here because a lot March applicants have gotten their AOR so I was hoping someone might be able to help me

Shouldn't be an issue as you already ticked no against "is someone helping you fill out this form". Paying someone is only applicable if you are getting help for filling the form (kind of obvious for anyone dealing with you application). I know there is a bug. Second line disappears but reappears when you press CTRL P.

You are fine. I did the same thing and I am a February applicant with an "in process" status. Goodluck.

Oh Thank you so much for the reassurance. I feel relieved!

HI Friends,
Sorry it may sound a very dump question but I was just wondering what is the difference between "application received" and "in process" status when we check online ?
When status changes to In process from application received than what does it mean ?
Senior members like @dpenabill a request if anybody can explain it please

HI Friends,
Sorry it may sound a very dump question but I was just wondering what is the difference between "application received" and "in process" status when we check online ?
When status changes to In process from application received than what does it mean ?

Application received is also referred to as AOR . . . that is when CPC-Sydney has opened the application, determined it is a COMPLETE application, and thus opened a GCMS citizenship application file for the client/applicant. This is typically some period of time after the IN FACT receipt of the application (the date the application is physically delivered and received). Period of time between physical receipt and AOR has varied widely over the years, ranging from weeks to sometimes several months.

Of course that involves some PROCESSING of the application. There is, for example, a GCMS background check done during that step. Referrals to the RCMP and CSIS for criminality and security background checks are made at that time. And it is likely there is other preliminary screening done, either concurrent with that step OR subsequently but still by personnel in CPC-Sydney. Previously we knew for sure some of what that screening was, back when we knew that OB-407 still described the process, including a triage screening for potential reasons to question the applicant's account of residence or presence in Canada (which would be done again attendant the test and interview events) . . . but we have far less access to internal information like that now, so it is less clear what screening is done by CPC-Sydney before it refers/sends the application to a Local Office for "processing."

When that step is done, whatever else is included in the screening done in CPC-Sydney, that is when the CPC-Sydney phase is complete, THEN the application is sent/referred to the Local Office, and then IRCC labels the application "In Process."

That does not mean anyone in a Local Office opens the application anytime soon and actually does anything with it. It can be weeks or months or even quite a few if not several months before a processing agent in the Local Office does any actual "processing" of the application. But nonetheless during that time, once CPC-Sydney has made the referral to the local office, the application is described as "In Process."

My sense is that many focus rather too much attention on these labels and transitions in the process. What applicants need to know, first, is that their application actually made it to CPC-Sydney. That is why the application should be sent using a delivery-confirmation service (Canada Post is fine, so long as one uses their delivery-confirmation courier service). This is more for personal moral or psychological assurance. And likewise, watching for AOR. Just to feel confident the application is complete and is in the pipeline to be processed. After that all the applicant really needs to do is WAIT and WATCH for notice or communication from IRCC, which hopefully will be notice of the date to attend the test and PI Interview, which is how it goes for the vast majority of applicants. Of course other things can happen along the way, like a Finger Print request, or requests related to Quality Assurance exercises, but for the most part, for most QUALIFIED applicants (yes, there are a significant number who apply who are NOT qualified), the cake is in the oven and all the applicant needs to do is watch for notice of when and where to attend the test and PI Interview.
