Thanks for your response! I will stick with courier. Just to confirm how true this is.......someone said that IRCC have started online submission of citizenship application for single applicants. How true is this?
August 2020 - Citizenship application
- Thread starter eatpraylove
- Start date
I just found out that there is a third party agency that handles online application with a fee of $130: https://www.immigrationdirect.ca/citizenship/canadian-citizenship-application.html
Thanks @rafzy. Are you referring to this: https://www.immigrationdirect.ca/citizenship/canadian-citizenship-application.html
Also for online submissions, I really dont think the processing times will be any different from that of paper submissions. It all depends on the # of employees available to process the files and factoring delays due to extended lockdowns etc.
In short, if you are eligible to apply today, I would not wait until January to apply. A one month head-start sometimes matters when it comes to these things!

I really hope so. We had to wait for almost six months , only to get our applications returned - at times for ridiculous reasons I’m afraid to say( I resent the same application and not a different one ‘cause the documents were fine. So, if they consider the fact that our applications have already gone through the doc checking process- then it’s fair enough to expect ‘in progress’ soon. Anyways, I also believe that it really depends on the individual immigration officer who’s working with each application. Best of luck to you!!!
I hope so too. It has been so long already, They should be hiring us to process these applications, I am sure we would be faster than them even after fulfilling the due diligence.
One applicant on this forum submitted an application online. According to the applicant, AOR was not issued right away instead he got the message that IRCC will check his application and documents and then send him AOR if everything checks out. After that your application will be processed like all others.
So, I believe the only thing that will be beneficial for this will be submitting everything online and then IRCC employees verifies everything before sending AOR like all other. This will be quick maybe within 1 month or 1 week but at least you wont have to send physical hard copies of documents and hope everything checks out.
Just regular mail (Canada Post) using their tracking number service. It took exactly 4 business days.
