Hi.

So I’ve been eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship for quite some time now, but obviously haven’t done it yet. I hope to do it soon, though! I was initially going to apply online since they allow people to do that now, but every time I try to create an account it says their system is down.

Every. Single. Time.

So I’m like screw this, let’s do the paper application. It’s a lot less convenient and makes me worry that I’m going to very easily forget to submit something, but I had to do a paper application for permanent residence that was a LOT more involved than the paperwork for citizenship, and that went through fine.

The fee for the citizenship application is also quite a bit less than the fee for the permanent residence application, so there’s that.
