February 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[ufarooqi]

I have a quick question regarding anyone in the last few months who submit a paper application instead of Online?

What was the reason for doing the paper route?

Online is so much easier and tells you what you need every step of the way. I am confused at the number of paper applications on the tracker.

I chose paper for my spouse application because previous trends show that paper applications get processed faster at my visa office (Kitchener).

Well, someone applied in January already passed the test. I'm still waiting with all the griefs

When is everyone planning on studying for the Citizenship exam? I did a few practice tests on https://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/ and failed!!

I am not sure how long to study for.

Typically people prepare for a week and read the discover canada book twice after which some practice test in youtoube (400 qns). I do not have the link or references. Good luck!

Family applications can only go paper route. Online is only for individual application for now. Could be 1 of the reasons out of many.
