Hi Everyone,
I applied last month 20th march by online but now there is different option now selected applicant can apply and only those can apply online who did not spend time out side Canada in Physical presence calculator
Our app will not be considered according to this condition?

I believe you’re referring to time spent outside Canada as a crown servant or family member of a crown servant. If those conditions don’t apply to you and met all other conditions, then you can apply online.
This is NOT true. The instruction still reads:
At this time, you can only apply online if
- you’re randomly selected
- you’re eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship (opens in a new tab)
- you have a valid email address
- you’re between 18 to 54 years of age when you submit your online application
- you’re applying for yourself only (not with your family)
- you do not have a representative(opens in a new tab)
- in your physical presence calculation (opens in a new tab) , you do not include time spent outside Canada as a
- Crown servant (opens in a new tab) or,
- family member of a Crown servant
Where are you getting your (mis-)information from?
Looks like people who applied on-line take 3 to 4 month to receive AOR guessing we should have applied by mail
Looks like they are not working on online app
Once I saw on IRCC website they are working the online software
what do they mean by randomly selected !! This is new? Doe they mean you apply online and cross your fingers to be selected !
That dosent make sense at all ! The link is always there ! I dont need to refresh to see it?
i don mean you , i mean thier wording! This is somthing serious , either it work or not what is this illogical sentence!
The link isn't always there, you were randomly selected to see it. The HTML source reveals how they "randomly" select people.
Thanks for the explanation! , so now i have created an account , does this means i’m safe and this “ randomly selected “ phrase wont affect the processing of my application!?
I’m really puzzled if i should apply online or just fill a paper form. Logically it seems the online option should be faster but this has not been the case recently with people who applied in the past month? I still beleive the online application will move faster eventually though?
Any thoughts to share guys?
Yes, IRCC is notoriously known for wordings that confuse rather than clarify. Having said that, if you can see the link and apply then it implicitly means you have been "randomly selected to apply".
