October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[sgtrigger]

I would NOT do this as it can lead to two applications being opened up and confusion.

I applied before the rush in October and to the best of my knowledge NO application was ever lost in the preceding months.
Suddenly they start losing applications!???

Wait for a couple of more weeks and even then...send a webform and ask.

Thanks Stef for the reply. What is this webform option. Can you give more details please. Thanks

Is Surrey office a busy location???

Thanks man! I would rather send it by the webform as I will at least receive something back from them to confirm they received the information. In this case, shoud I send it now as I received AOR, or wait until my ecase changes to in process?

If information can be shared through webform, then it is quick and free; go ahead. I recommend to send it as soon as possible because this info may help in faster processing if available at the time of start of processing. Although I don't know what info you want to send but still I would recommend not to wait for "In Process".

At the behest of @MarceauBletard I am creating a new thread for the Oct 2017 Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule!

The test invitation can only be found by mail? Not online, not by email?

I got IP On Dec 1st, sent on Oct 11th, delivered Oct 13th, AOR Nov 10th.
When can i expect to finish everything and get my passport?

lol easy there chief, no fortune tellers here. There were almost 40k applications in the month of October, no one knows what kind of impact this would have on most applicants. Follow the spreadsheet would be my advice (link in my signature).

Some test centers are sending the invite via email these days, while others still via snail mail. Looks like IRCC is upgrading their systems to the 21st century. For now, assume it could be either by email or regular mail.

How do you know there are 40k applications in Oct?
Do you know how many in Sep?

It was in the news. Article says average per week prior to C6 implementation was 3,653 applications. So times 4 roughly for September.
