Hello, all

During last 4 year, I had visited India for 1 month as vacation, while filling application, do I need to put that period in address ( form 6.G)

 

[jsm0085]

Yes - the calculator has definitely been updated. You must ensure the date you sign the application matches the date you entered... They cannot be different.

If I don't include payments receipt can I send it later once application being processed?
I need time to accumulate money.
PS no hokey for the kids this year, thanks JustinTrudeau.

No. The application would be returned.

Hi!

I got married this December 2016.

I was wondering if I can change my name once I apply for citizenship (I'm eligible to apply early January 2018) so that on my Canadian passport, I will have my husband's surname. I haven't changed my family last name on my PR card and passport though after I got married.

Can somebody shed me some light, thanks a lot!

The new Physical Presence Calculator seems to be up now. My saved data is now in the new format/calculations... good that i don't have to 'redo'.

Correct
Copied just now --
To be eligible for Canadian citizenship, you must have been physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days in the five years immediately before the date of your application. We encourage applicants to apply with more than the minimum requirement of 1,095 days of physical presence, to account for any miscalculations of absences, or any other aspect that could lower the physical presence total below 1,095 days. Please note that you cannot meet the physical presence requirement without a minimum of two (2) years as a permanent resident.

When calculating your time in Canada:

• only the five (5) years immediately before the date of your application are taken into account;
• each day you were physically present in Canada as an authorized temporary resident or protected person before you became a permanent resident counts as half a day (up to a maximum of 365 days);
• each day you were physically present in Canada after you became a permanent resident counts as one day;
• time spent serving a sentence for an offence in Canada (e.g. serving a term of imprisonment, probation and/or parole) cannot be counted towards your physical presence - there are some exceptions.
