Hello
I got my Aor, but I have to visit back home with new quarantine measure in place (ie 14days quarantine in a hotel after arriving in Canada)
How much time they provide you when they give you a call for next step, is next step Citizenship test. I want to see if I'll be able to come asap when they send me the email

Much thanks !

Hey everyone
just a quick check
I noticed the application form (cit 0002) has been changed recently and now there is a validation button to generate barcode...
By the time I applied the newest application form did not have that validation button and was published by cic in 2019-12.
Did I use the right form or have I missed anything?
The old form is valid for applications that reach IRCC up until Feb 28, 2021. From March 1, 2021 - Sending the old form will get your application returned.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/application-canadian-citizenship-adults.html#cit0002

Applications received at our Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Sydney, NS March 1, 2021 or later must use forms from October 2020 or later (indicated on the lower left corner of the form). Application forms that are not up-to-date will be returned as incomplete. IRCC does not consider the date of signatures or mailing to be deciding factors.

Normally, you'll have 21 days from the date of invite to complete the online citizenship test. But since you applied in October 2020, the online citizenship test wouldn't likely happen until the end of this year.
