June 2020 - Citizenship Application

[melito]

Hi guys , do you know how to withdraw application. And will they refund the fee in total? My understanding is , instead of waiting from them about the incomplete app should withdraw and resubmit it! Any advice on that!

1) How do I withdraw my application for citizenship services?
2) General rules for grant and proof withdrawals
3) If I withdraw my application, will I get a refund?

The last AOR that was reported was received March 15, and that was for a January applicant, and there are still some January applicants that have not received it. In other words, it would seem nobody has gotten an AOR since March 15, hence nobody knows how long July applicants will have to wait.

Lots of workplaces, they leave the incoming mails in a certain place for days or months to avoid the virus thing.

I think they do the same thing now, especially for this paper application. .. You can imagine , so many people have touched the paper, photo, packages.

Once the AOR comes, I do believe they will speed up

Nope nothing, they need more money from visitor visa, ETA and online pr application.

This I kinda don't understand really. Why process a visitor visa when it's still almost impossible, or at least still restricted, to travel to Canada?
Why not re-allocate some of the manpower to Citizenship and PR Card Renewals applications which don't have much restrictions in place.
I'm juts really wondering hehe

I have applied for my PR card renewal in June 2020 along with my Citizenship Application separately.
My pr Card expires in Nov 2020 and not sure when I will get my PR card renewed.
The current processing time for PR card renewal shows 287 days as of 23 July 2020 update.

I am on the same boat, sent PR renewal and Citizenship application separately. My PR card expires in Feb 2021. I had this impression before applying that renewing PR card would be as simple as renewing a drivers license or something.

It is all about the processing fees.
