[DECEMBER] Online Citizenship Applicants

[citizenship.enthusiast]

I have received my test invite for June 18th, my bet has paid off!! . The urgent application moved at an unreal speed!! Those who are curious, I had originally applied in August 2020 on paper and my application had almost zero progress until last month when I decided to withdraw it and apply online. I lost about 500 bucks but it was worth it. I had a valid reason for urgent processing and they were quick to jump on my application.

Online is the way to do it guys, paper applications are a thing of past now! I put so many hours contacting several federal agencies, researching and reading and I can conclude online applications are way easier for CIC staff to process compared to paper. I will request the ATIP notes for my online application after I have completed the final step - oath.

Good luck everyone and thanks so much for answering my questions!

Why do you think that its fast because of online application & not because it is urgent application now? Also, was it not possible to request urgent processing of previous paper application instead of starting afresh?

I did request urgent processing for my paper application. No one cared. lol

Have you applied online or just withdrew your paper application?

I think its Urgent Processing and not the online processing. There are several people applied online and they have not heard anything on their applications.

This is false conclusion. It may be possible the person processing you application didn't think that your app needed an UP. If you don't mind could you share the reason for UP? Thanks.

I felt you did the right thing from the get-go when you withdrew the paper application against the uproar of disapproval from many. Don't take this positive turn of events for granted, prepare well and nail that test!

I think so too. I did paper application in December 2020, Non-urgent and I have completed the test. I am glad it worked out for him, but I wont conclude that paper application is garbage. Its just a on a case by case basis

Has anyone attended the oath ceremony last week received their certificate?

That's what I was wondering about. The overall application status is still "In Progress", even though everything is marked as "Completed".

Same as mine. I'm just a bit anxious because Canada Post recently lost one of my trackable parcel. Hopefully we will receive it soon!
