Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[Seym]

I am not sure if stamped Visas are considered travel document

They are not.
Only passports are needed here (or the equivalent for refugees if that applies to you)

Have you ever held travel documents or passports during your 5-year eligibility period?

For this question , do we have to attach our Stamped Visa for US , Canadian Stamped visa for Work permit , Stamped PRTD etc? I have all 3 in my passport

I am not sure if stamped Visas are considered travel document

For the question specifically, Just list the passport(s) you had within the last 5 years

however the question will come up where you will have to declare the citizenships and immigration statues in which you will have declare the visas you had (including study, work, visitor/business visas)

Decision made on ECAS is equivalent to LPP complete in tracker leading to oath getting scheduled for you.
In rare cases even after oath is scheduled it could be backtracked if they come to know about your misdeeds if you had hidden it from IRCC.

Thanks you. Does "LPP" stand for "Language, prohibition, and physical presence"? Also, will there be any actual announcement about "Decision made" on the online portal or as long as LPP is passed that implicitly reflects the decision made? Thanks again for your info

"LPP" stand for "Language, prohibition, and physical presence"? Yes
It is implicit

Decision made is a state on ECAS(portal available for paper application)

Hi everyone,
I have two questions

1. My non-Canadian Password expired in 2019 and due to Covid and since I had no intention of leaving Canada I did not and have not renewed it yet.

• What should I put as a reason in the explanation section for passport gap?
• Should I obtain a new password from my country of origin and then apply for the citizenship?(this will take some time)

2. My PR card also expired in 2019 and have not renewed it.

• Can I use Drivers license and health card for the Two requested IDs?

Or is it better for one I’d to be a PR card despite being expired?

Thank you everyone for your info

Hello !

Can someone please clarify for me, the significance of the LVO (local office) after the citizenship applications are sent to the LVO ? Is is the ACTUAL local visa office close to where one resides or is it randomly assigned to any office across the province / country ? Thanks in advance and apologies if its been answered earlier.

Close to where you reside but files move to other offices to handle workload too.

Hi guys, I'm planning to submit my citizenship application later this month and I'm wondering for the "Residences and Taxes" and "Work and School" sections, if I have an event that started before my eligibility date, should I put the actual start date or my eligibility date as the start date of the event? (For example, if I started school in Canada in September 3, 2017, and my eligibility period starts on October 4, 2018, should I put September 3, 2017 or October 4, 2018 as the "start/from" date of my school education on the application?) Thanks!

Hello. Can I apply for Canadian Citizenship while an Outland Spousal Sponsorship Application is in Process? Would this have an impact on either application? Thank you

No impact as it would be your own individual application.

Hi people. I have a question, I am going to apply for my citizenship; when Im calculating the presence days in Canada, do I include the time after I claimed my refugee till my hearing court or not? if so, what is my status during that time? let's say I claimed on Sep 2021, and my hearing court was on Sep 2022, what status I can use for this one year? i was not a visiter nor was I a protected person(or was I) thank you. I am talking about the asylum seeker period, should I consider it while applying?if so, under what status does it go?
