Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[Parisuzy]

Questions plz
1- after i validated the citizenship application i found a mistake and i want to edit and revalidate. I already signed dec 31. Can i still sign with the same date? Or i have to sign with a new date after the new validation taking into consideration that it make 2022 tax come up which I haven’t filed yet and cant file as well and will need to change physical presence calculator as well?
2- Do i need to sign the online physical presence calculation.
Thanks

Are you applying online or on paper?

Hey guys,

But there are days where i travelled but in the calculator its not adding up to the right numbers. Its been highlighted as yellow. Its supposed to be 16 days and 44 days. But its showing different.

it says 2018-01-25 to 2023-01-24

but when i put the same info on my application form it doesn't allow according to what my physical presence calculator says (highlighted in yellow)

it should be 2018-01-25 to 2023-01-24 on my application form (as per the physical presence calculator) but the form is not allowing me and its 1 day earlier 2018-01-24 , should 2018-01-25

How to fix this issue ?

You can't fix that... it has been always like that and everyone faced that issue... don't worry about it..

Hello everyone, should we add our PR cards as travel documents for question #14?

This should not be happening... Try creating a new calculation...

For question #5, when I insert my legal Full Name and select "Name at Birth" in the drop down list, an error pops up which says Alias/Nickname, maiden name, etc. cannot be the same as Full Name. I have a nickname which only my family uses and it is NOT on any official document. Should I use that and select nickname in the drop down list? Please help. TIA.

Hello everyone!
My wife is applying for her citizenship. We were applying online, just the photo requirement was left. We called a local passport photo centre for an appointment. When we got talking, they said it's better to go for paper application as it's currently much faster. Is this true?

This is normal, these vacations must have been taken before you became a PR, and each day before PR is counted 50% for the citizenship presence calculations.
The calculator takes that 50% in account there already instead of showing the actual number of days and dividing by 2 at the moment it computes the total. Don't worry about it.

My application was sent back since i was missing a second identification document for minors application. I am now including a provincial health card as second identification document. The first one is the copy of the foreign passport.

My question is:
Can I resend the same old application form or should I send a new one. The application was signed October 22, 2022. Please advise

I asked this question in another thread, but hardly had any response on it. Planning to send this document by end of today.

Hi, do we need to scan all pages in the passport as mentioned in the document checklist or just the biographical page as mentioned in the original post? https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/citizen/cit0007e-2.pdf
" Colour photocopy of all pages in your passport(s) or travel document(s) during your five (5) year eligibility period, including the biographical page which includes: name, photo, date and place of birth, passport/travel document number, issue date and expiration date. • If your passport validity was extended, include a photocopy of the page(s) containing the extension stamp(s) • If you do not have a travel document or passport, provide an explanation in question 14 of the application form "
