It's been a while since my last post. Here are some updates:
  • My online application ended up being canceled (as I requested) in the end of July. They only refunded $100, as the requirement goes. So, think twice if you want to cancel it
  • I found the paper application I sent was canceled at once they received it due to the existing online application (this information was from my MP after contacting with IRCC). So cancel it first before sending a paper copy
  • I sent in another paper copy at the end of July, and I just got AOR yesterday.
Hopefully this is helpful. Wish you guys the best

So they canceled your paper application because you already had online application going on that time ?

Sorry man...an update on mine, so did not cancel the online, but sent the paper application while using the payment I used for the online application, they bounced my paper application with the reason "lack of funds", then I appealed for urgent processing, which I think was approved because, for my online application background check updated to completed and test invite was sent within 2 weeks, I have done the test, it has been marked completed also, the rest are in progress, I am in week 3 now of waiting after completing the test

Did you explained that you have online application when you sent paper application? I think using same receipt made lack of funds.

I sent the form to withdraw the online application along with the paper application. I guess that's a dumb idea

Congrats man! I want to apply for urgent processing, but no valid reason for me at all. I wonder what's your reason, if you don't mind me asking?

Wow, thats nice. Online applicants are getting their first updates after 7 months while paper applicants are getting their citizenship certificates in 4 months from when they applied. So balanced and fair. And IRCC wonders why they are getting overwhelmed with phone calls, web form inquiries, GCMS/ATIP request and MP inquiries.

Seems like there are some movements going on for online applications. An applicant from Feb 2022 just got test invite.

Congrats.

Wow. If we apply paper, looks like (as a next step) they would come to our home and administer oath on the spot and day.

Hmm, I was following the advice here actually. But it doesn't matter now, lessons learned. Hope everyone else can learn from my mistake too

Idea to send a paper appl was fine, I think. Just that you did not expect that they would cancel both the applications, if I understand correctly.

It might still workout to be okay I think. You might still reach DM by end of the year.
