Online citizenship test

[Deleted member 549667]

Hi Guys,

My timelines are:
Application sent in April 2019
AOR July 2019
Finger Prints done in October 2019
Got another finger print request in November 2020 and Finger Prints done again in November 2020

My application moved from London to Mississauga as I moved from London to Toronto

Have not received the test request yet

My PR card expired in September 2020 and I didn't renew it hoping that I would get my Citizenship by then.

I know its a stupid question but any idea on tentative timelines as I am thinking whether to renew PR card or not

Regards,

Its totally random and depends on the officer as we can see that some applicants from last quarter of 2019 received/receiving tests in the last one month.
So luck+officer plays big role in getting through each stage. As with online test, its little more chaos and random than the normal prediction.
As they just started on pilot testing, they should invite more from this quarter(as mentioned by the immigration minister). As your fingerprints are also done recently, you would get it in next few weeks.

But worst case i think that all 2019 applicants(except the exceptions) will get completed with oath at least by this year. Its my best hope since i am waiting for them to move to my 2020 application. if you plan to go out of country in a year then you should renew PR card just to avoid last minute headache before travel.

1. When did you take the test?
2. How many days to DECISION MADE from test date?
3. Anything else in between (such as document request, fingerprint update request, etc.)?

Hi All, it seems that processing for online applications is a lot faster than paper-based, is this correct?

Hard to say, as all of us likely applied paper. I'm curious to see how online applications go.

I hope I hear within 2 weeks! But, I know it could take much longer as the letter said that they will be reviewing over the next few months. In any case, I'm just glad I've written the test and there's a light at the end of the 35 year long tunnel. lol

Ohh 35 years are tooooooo long. Would you mind telling us why didnt you apply earlier when majority of the people who immigrated to Canada few years ago are able to apply for citizenship after 3 years?

I guess he must have meant 35 years of struggle in life

Check his timeline
Physical Presence: 12,937 days
Which means 35 years of staying in Canada

First of all, I am a woman. My life circumstances were difficult in Canada and I have been on my own since I was 15 years old. I've managed to work my way through life but had 2 children by 19 years old and 4 children by 26 years old. My financial priorities were not on getting my citizenship but on taking care of my children - this was my priority. In any case, it was always in the plan - but when you struggle all your life and you live pay cheque to pay cheque to support yourself and your children, doing citizenship was not the first thing on my mind - making sure my children were fed and had a safe household was my priority.

ETA: The time I lived with my parents from moving to Canada (at 4) and the time I left home they did not apply for it. They found it too expensive themselves at that time. In hindsight, it was only $50 per child...but they came to Canada sponsored by the church with a $6,000 travel loan from the government they had to repay in 2 years. So, it wasn't their priority either. That said, I am the last one in my family to apply for citizenship.

Good luck, I wish you well in the citizenship application, and in life.

Thank you so much @prash42 things are going well now. Over the years I have worked myself up to a comfortable position. The only hurdle is now my spousal sponsorship - that is a different nightmare.

did any of the applicants from April 2020 and after, get invited for online test ?? .. on the tracker it seems that everything stops after getting to InProgress

You've put up a fight like a Spartan and you came back home with your shield. Kudos to your perseverance.

I wish you all the very best!
