Citizenship application - Tax and physical presence question

[srinikrish]

Hello,

We arrived in Canada on November 24th 2019. We didn't have any income in Canada in November and december 2019. We filed the taxes in Canada for FY 2019 reporting the foreign income till november 2019 and took the foreign tax credits.
For Years 2020 and 2021, we had income in Canada and filed the taxes in Canada.

Our physical presence of 1095 days will be completed on November 24th 2022. So, can we apply for Citizenship considering the physical presence of 1095 days in canada and 3 years of tax filings. Or the Tax filings of 3 years should include the 1095 days too? Please advise.

you have to file taxes as per cra due dates
2019-2021 should be enough as long as you file your application in early 2023

Hello,

we are planning to apply for citizenship in November 2022 as soon as the 1095 physical presence is met. We already filed taxes for 2019, 2020, 2021 but even before we file the 2022 taxes, we are planning to file the canadian citizenship this year november itself. Please advise.
