Online. Even though they dont say it looking at the trend these applications are getting processed relatively quicker
I think the problem with online is that it has an additional step (passport pages request) compared to the paper application. And you know every time they update your file they won't look at it again for several months :D Is there a way to send them all the paged of the passport in online application? Maybe fit them all in one file :D

Those who applied online in December got their papers processed very quickly

I've heard there was an online cohort in 2020 that was processed quickly because it was the test phase. This tear they are going to process only 5% of online applications. We need to see the numbers for 2021 but there is no excel file for it

Hello folks,

My thread here
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/nov-2020-citizenship-application-stuck-help.752513/

My citizenship test was marked to complete in July 2021 but since then there's no update. Citizenship officer suggested in communication email to send the flight tickets and visa stamp once I come to Canada because I was in India. So once I returned, I filled the web form and sent them all the info requested and in return I received an ack email "Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). " in Oct 2021 and no update since then.

People who applied for citizenship after me have their process done almost.

My language skills, prohibition and physical presence are still in progress :(

Should I be writing them another one? Or just wait?

Lots of people who applied before you (like me) are still waiting as well, meanwhile 2021 applications have been finalized. There is no sense to the way IRCC operates. All we can do is wait.

Thanks for the response! So this is what was applied for https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/application-citizenship-certificate-adults-minors.html

The person applying is not a permanent resident of Canada, she lives in the States. Her father is from Canada. So does this mean she would need to apply for citizenship first? Thanks again.
as long as the father is a Canadian citizen she should already be a Canadian citizen by birth, and only need the proof that you applied for

Processing time for what you applied: 15 months ?
Applications outside Canada and the United States may take longer.

So I guess you have another 3 months or so to wait
