Don't forget to include a copy of your immigration visa (will be on your passport). my wife's PR card renewal application was returned because she didn't include a copy of that immigration VISA! eventhough that wasn't mentioned on CIC website as required so better to include landing VISA copies for the whole family.

How does PRcard renewal process related to Citizenship application?

Hello seniors
1. Related to tax and citizenship application...I am going to apply by July5 and want some help with tax question
I landed in June 2011 and stayed for 33 days in 2011 and then came back in June 2012 and stayed for 35 days. I settled in August 2013 and since then I did not go anywhere outside Canada. I filed tax for 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 and I guess I don't have problem with filing tax for 4 years out of 6. My question:
How I am going to answer the question of ( required to file ) and (tax filed ) for 2011 and 2012???
my answer looks like this:
2016 -----yes ........yes
2015------yes.........yes
2014......yes.........yes
2013......yes.........yes
2012......??........??
2011.....??..........??

2. physical presence Calculator:
I landed in 27 June 2011. In 02 - 08- 2011 to 13 -06-2012 I was in Saudi Arabia during this 10 months I travelled to US, Singapore, Bahrain and UAE for work and get back to Saudi Arabia. The question: How I am going to report this trip in physical presence calculator given that Canada is not involved in all these trips. I left Saudi Arabia and get back to Saudi Arabia? I left Canada on 02/08/2011 and get back to Canada on 13/06/2012...
Thank you so much in advance

I am in same boat, in reason coloum I put all the dates I have traveled in 2011 and 2012 so the stamps show in my passport copies. I guess they
wont care as long as you are not in the country, but will be nice to put so they can compare with stamps on ur PP. with the tax I put nil in 2011 and 2012... hope this helps

I have already posted this question in June forum - but as time is running out and i need a reply urgently, thus re-posting the same here

Hello All,

There's something that's puzzling me a bit.

In the Document Checklist for the application, it mentions that:
1). Photocopy of both sides of PR Card
2). Photocopies of two (2) pieces of Identification
3). Photocopies of biographical pages of Passport

Now my question is, if in my application, i submit ONE copy of PRC, ONE copy of Health Card and ONE copy of Passport - would it fulfill all the three conditions mentioned above.

Cause Point (2) asks for two pieces of Identification, and i am trying to hit two birds with one stone, by giving PRC under (1) and thinking it fulfills part of criteria for point 2 also. Hope i am clear here.

Please do let me know. Apart from this, all set and plan to submit application tomorrow.

Thanks in advance to all the contributors to this thread !!

Hi Shaikhzees,

In my case few months ago, I provided all on that checklist just to make sure. But during my citizenship interview back in March 2017, the immigration officer returned my extra copies and told me I provided too much identification photo copies lol. And she smiled at me. I just told her that "Oppss sorry about that" and I took those extras. Although, I don't mind sending those before I just followed whatever in the checklist to lessen my worries.

And then everything went pretty smooth. I became Canadian Citizen just last month.

Goodluck to you...

Does anyone know if it is rejected do they still email or just send it back?

 

[soul2017]

is there a way we can check on our applications before getting the AOR. ? like are we allowed to call them to see whats really happening and why is the delay?

There is no delay. CIC website says that it takes 1 year to get the citizenship.
