As a person who recently applied for citizenship, I have been hearing a few different information about which process is faster (Online or Mail) application and would like to know a few things: this request is for any Memo or details and also data that can support the request below. This data request is for the period Aug 2020- Aug 2022 1, IRCC Citizenship Grants Broken down by paper and Online application for the period Aug 31, 2020 - Aug 31, 2022. 2, How long has it taken paper vs Online applications in each period to be completed 3, How many staff are working on each category and most recent staffing plans for the Online applications 4, Reasons Online applications have been taking longer to be processed. Which step in the citizenship process takes the longest to get done (background, language etc) 7, Are there any priority list for processing application outside of urgent request (ie, PR class, so if a person who applied for citizenship is a PR class, Express entry vs one that is a Refugee, or PNP) 8, Reason Online application was introduced to the public without adequate staffing to support the intake or trained staff to support both systems

Are there plans to improve this sync time to within 24h or real time? 3. Are there plans to send e-mail notification for updates in the tracker? 4. Are there plans to make available for download all communication documents and PDF from within the citizenship tracker instead of sending it via e-mail? 5. Why does the Tracker show "Language skills", "Physical Presence", and "Prohibitions" with status "In progress" BEFORE files are transferred to DN? If documents are available in both French and English please only provide the English version. Include only final versions or latest drafts of documents, and last complete email chains.
