Online v/s Paper Application - is there a difference in processing time?

[lateentrant]

Hi all!

Like the title says - are online applications faster?

I ask because as a family of three including one child, we need to apply on paper. But if we only applied for my wife and I, we could apply online. If online applications are indeed faster, I would apply as a couple first. Then once we have our citizenship, I would apply for my daughter.

What does everyone think?

Online is faster. You can apply online as a family online including Minors... see here:
