February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[harirajmohan]

Whether our application moves or not, at least processing timeline is moving slowly "May 10 and 16, 2020".

They simply should issue test invites to all whoever has AOR. Not sure why they are waiting for some auspicious day for it even though they never issued all test invites after all clearances. They are wasting time by following same process even when test doesnt require officer's time.
Whenever officer is ready then he/she can review the test taken and move ahead, instead of simply waiting for something to clear first and then issue the test and then review later....

I agree but apparently they are still testing the online test platform for stability and they casually tested it with December 2020 online applicants by inviting them for tests because why bother about logical common sense and work on 2 year long backlog!

Lol and some people will literally be mad about what you just wrote, because how dare you criticize them for taking dumb decisions ?
Anyway I ordered my GCMS notes last month, still waiting. I will probably get them next year.

Today I got a Citizenship online test.

Application sent: February 1, 2020
Application received : February 6, 2020
AOR: August 5, 2020
In Process: October 19, 2020
Invitation letter: Feb 19, 2021
online test: Feb 25, 2021

online test was quite an easy and simple process.
just a little bit annoying to take a picture ID card and self-photo.

Good luck with the next step for all of us.

Whats the process for the online test ? Is it just an online test or is it like a zoom meeting where they are watching you and you have to share your screen and give the test and the screen is being recorded and they are looking at us via the webcam ?
