Hi, I wanted to submit my online application tomorrow. I know it is not to do with December! But since you've been through the process, I was hoping for some guidance.
Question for TAX 2020: in the last 5 years, I have filed for tax in 2017, 2018, 2019 (PR since May 2017). But for 2020, CRA hasnt opened tax filing yet.
Do I say "No" to filing and "was it required to file" - Yes or No?
Will 2020 filing be considered has tax filed in 5 years ? Is it meant to be last 3 tax filings in 5 years or just 3 tax filings?

but wouldnt paper take about an additional week or so than online in the mail? Why wait for 2 weeks for the webform?
I believe you have to wait to AOR to send a webform, before that there is no way for them to link it. I think attaching the request for urgency straight to your application is a more guaranteed way for them to see it. Mailing it really doesn't take that long, not nearly as long as AOR

Hi, Can we also apply for citizenship application online? I thought we can only apply paper based?

Hi all, confirming - the system is already up and running and I submitted my citizenship application online today here https://citapply-citdemande.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/landing

Feel really fortunate since I got everything printed out and was about to mail it as paper based today but then learned about the online method last night (thanks to this forum!)

I DID NOT receive AOR right away. Below is the message I got in the end, if it helps:
