Minor/child application for citizenship

[bkd1969]

Following questions to be answered:
1. Kid below 14 years old need to submit school report card? Or this requirement only for 14+ years old? The school report card must have kid's picture on it? My kid's school report cart has not picture, what to do?
2. Some people said it is required to submit birth certificate for minor application, but I did not see this requirement in the minor application form.
3. In the minor form 9D, it asks if kid's passport has a gap in time in valid period of passport. I am not sure where is the question from and why asks for it. You do not need a valid passport if you do not plant to travel outside of Canada. My kid has 3 months gap, it is ok to explain that we initially has no plan to travel so we let kid passport expire, but later we did want to travel, so we renew kid passport and there is a 3 months gap, etc. It is acceptable?
4. Why in Minor and adult citizen application form, UCI was not filled by applicants, instead it is expected to be filled by officer, as UCI is located in the area for official use only.
Thanks.

1- not necessarily to have a picture on it
2- in the check list form they are asking for B.C.
3- but you have to explain inside the specific box in minors' Apps
4- that section will be filled by officer so no need to fill out by applicants

I just checked the documentation guide for minor, actually birth certificate is required regardless where kids live, not only for B.C.

My kid was born in Oct 1999, and he will be 18 years old in Oct 2017. I am going to submit citizenship application at the end of August 2017, should he treated as minor (17 years old) applicant or adult (18 years old) ? thanks

How can you prove that this is your child without birth certificate? You need to send the copy with the application
