Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

Did you provide PCC during your PR? If Yes, you can answer the same for that question.

Yes I provided one during the PR process. However I don't have a copy of that PCC now.
So should I just answer to the question saying that I was in my country of origin prior to landing in Canada and I had already provided the PCC during the PR application?

Yes you should do that. IRCC would still have that copy.

"Hi everyone, Happy New Year to all! I have a question about applying for Canadian citizenship. I arrived in Canada in November 2019, received asylum approval in June 2021, and got my PR card in March 2023. Could someone help me calculate when I would be eligible to apply for citizenship? I’d really appreciate your assistance. Thanks!

You can only count the days from the asylum approval. So, from June 2021 to March 2023 * 50% (pre PR credit) + everything since March 2023.
You'll need to do the exact calculation yourself, but with 300+ days of pré PR credit, you should be eligible in a few months, by may or June or so.
Obviously, take any possible absence from Canada into account, use the official physical presence calculator to make sure you're eligible before applying, and leave some additional buffer.

Hi everyone,
Looking for some guidance if someone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it . I am sure someone else would have asked it so please just guide me to where.

Situation: I am applying for citizenship (online) for my mom (65+). She does not have a drivers license but has an Ontario photo ID card. The online application portal has two settings only (see below).

I have a valid PR card, passport, foreign issued (valid id card in English),OHIP (just expired few days ago so I applied for a new one). What is the quickest way for me to make something work?

I was thinking foreign passport with foreign id card and attach Ontario Photo ID card and the PR card in extra documents. Please suggest .

System options:

1. Foreign passport with
   1. Drivers License
   2. Health Insurance Card
   3. Age of Majority Card
   4. Senior Citizen ID Card
   5. Other ID issued by a foreign govt
2. PR card (valid) with
   1. Drivers License
   2. Health Insurance Card
   3. Age of Majority Card
   4. Senior Citizen ID Card

TIA

Foreign passport with Other ID issued by a foreign govt i.e. Ontario Photo ID card would be enough.
