Hi everyone, next year I'll be eligible to apply for citizenship. I've been in Canada for almost six years, I have not left Canada, nor do I plan to since I became a PR. I'm of the age where I won't have to take the citizenship test, I was wondering if that will hinder, help or not affect my application.
I've read that after AOR you get the request for testing. In my case, what comes after AOR?
I also saw on the IRCC website that they invite some people to apply for a Canadian passport when they apply for citizenship, has anyone had that experience?

Test completion will be skipped in your case. It's a normal process flow won't have any affect on your application. AOR - Background verification - LPP - Oath. Just Test will be skipped. Canadian passport while Oath date is selected by IRCC is still a pilot project not many get selected for it.

Thank you so much for responding. I feel more confident now. Any idea what the AOR timeline is these days?

Within a week you get AOR these days and process is getting completed in 3-4 months.

That sounds so much better that 6 months to a year. Thanks again.
