I think it largely depends on your country. From what I have seen, Countries where bio metrics are mandatory should avoid online as they it is advisable for them to send a lot of additional documents- a luxury which you can't afford in online applications. Paper based for countries with bio metrics. And online where it is not required.

from my experience it's better to apply online. I've applied paper base on 31st july and still i'm awaiting the decision.
Many has applied online after 31st august and they have got the response withing a week or maximum of two.
opt for online and i assure you that you'll give me +5. cheers in advance.

Hi, I am Indian and I applied online on July 25th. I have not yet heard back from them and I even had to defer my admit till Jan 2015. I have tried contacting CHC through e-mail, but I received no response. I heard that processing times are maximum of three weeks, but it has already been three months since I applied online!

1. I have 10 week left for a visa is that enough or should I defer my admission for next term. => DEPENDS FROM WHERE U R APPLYING ONLINE

2. Do we need to submit orignal degree for online visa application as well or just a scan copy?? => NOT REQUIRED, GO WITH THE STUDY PERMIT QUESTIONNAIRE, AND SUBMIT WHAT ALL IT ASKS..
