February 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[ripz1982]

Hi near future Canadians mates! I would like to ask you a question regarding the process phases: After receiving AOR for paper based family application what is the most common trend? Should I start preparing for the test right away or it will take while (BGND CHECK... and language assessment to be done first) any idea on paper based applications phases?

You should coz i waited a week to prepare or test and it delays the things

Want to ask you guys, i gave my citizenship test on Apr 04, but my tracker still shows “waiting on you”. What could be the reason still its not updated on tracker.

If someone can respond please

For minors you have to apply on paper. For adults you can apply online creating separate applications

I was just checking, and it appears we can now apply online even if there is a minor family member. You can apply for minor online as long as their application is submitted along with a parent.

I did at Frontier one inc. In ontario and it costs 60 dollars here. How much time it normally takes to update in tracker?

I had a ghost update last week and then after 2 days, the tracker showed Background Verification: Completed. But sometimes it's just system updates.

What are your dates? When did you submit?

But only one adult per application.

Application sent and received on Feb 28th (Online application). AOR on March 27th and Background Verification on April 5th. Surprisingly, AOR took longer even though it was an online application.

Update : Logged in the tracker this morning and see an update : You have been scheduled to take the citizenship test online between XX and XX dates. Now my question is : haven't received any email yet.

1. Normally how many days it takes to receive that email ?
2. Once i login onto the test portal, do we need to select the date and time for the test and then log out ?
3. do we need a webcam enabled laptop to be able to take the test, does this test is taken under supervision of an officer ?
4. In case if during the test wifi / connectivity drops what happens then ?

Please guide. Thanks
