PR card fits the bill to be an ID - govt. issued, photo, d.o.b., height, color of eyes etc. etc. It would be stupid not to accept it.
For post-C6 applicants who received AOR, did you use PR card as ID?

ah thanks. now I sort feel better now. analytical analysis is very important lol...Happy Birthday!
Do not worry, there is really a very small percentage who have received AORs.
As per spreadsheet:
Applications Received Oct 11,12,13
Total: 81
AORs: 17
Havn't Received AORs = 64
Application Received Oct 16,17,18
Total: 189
AORs: 17
Havn't Received AORs = 172
It may be nothing wrong with your application or any missing documents. Its just that your envelope is not in officer's hand yet. So relax and enjoy your day!
Exactly, driver's license is just fine. I guess my questions now are:
1. Do people with passport + 1 piece of ID got AOR?
2. Do people with passport + 1 piece of ID being PR card got AOR?
Hope there can be some more AOR recipient sharing their submission.
I don't think the reason for asking additional ids is solely for the purpose of Identification. Remember every time you change the address or other information on the drivers license or health card, it goes on the database and could be useful information to verify if you were living in Canada as claimed on your form or not. You can still have a passport and PRC and live outside Canada. Just my 2 cents on the reason why applications without enough ids are returned.
Then they could be more clear in their checklist and instruction guide about how many and what kind of IDs they require. Also the rest of the questions should be more than enough to verify if someone is living in Canada. Although I personally find some of the questions wording very confusing!!! The letter they sent is saying we did not provide 2 form of IDs. The checklist asks for passport and one other form of ID. If PRC is not acceptable they should have made it clear. My parents also sent their PR verification form.
Valid, but u can also have a drivers license and healthcare while the person reside outside of Canada
To be honest i don't know why these guys can't get their act together and "control" their borders just like other countries do...the requirement is physical presence only...so its not mandatory for citizenship purposes to "drive" or "go to a doctor" or "go to work"!!
How about stamping the passports of all PR's on the way in and way out at all borders (including land borders)...just like 3rd world countries do.. rather than to rely on a health card or driver's license to try and guess if someone was in the country or not...
True but the drivers license is connected to car registration and insurance which is renewed every year. Even your number plate registered to your vehicle traces back to DL. Consider the fact that all the traffic tickets, city parking ticket (not private) goes on to your record as well. More than 50% of applicants may have used their health card at clinics at least once during their 5 yrs of eligibility period. I'm not saying that all the above is 100% accurate to solve the residency criteria but definitely helps during conflict of information.
A person can have a driver license but no car, still have a health card but never used it, can still live outside Canada. In that case be prepared to receive RQ after citizenship interview.
You are right, but why IRCC need another ID other than PR?
Logically, yes PR captures all form of bio-metric information. Its an ID issued by IRCC and they for sure have all the record in their database anyway.
I think PR card alone does not imply "physical presence." A Driver Licence, with current address and date of issue/expiry (and health card for that purpose too) are at least somewhat indicative of physical presence (of course there are exceptions).. also they are not issued by IRCC, and therefore it may be required as an 'extra' identification concurring the information which IRCC has i.e. your PR card. (It is just my opinion)
Possible. Ontario's health card doesn't have an address on it either, and yet it is an acceptable ID. And both health card and PR card have an expiry date.
That being said, I did submit my driver's license along with PR card to be safe.
I agree but at the same time they want PR card holders to travel freely like citizens. Stamping every time means that they will have to introduce separate line ups for PR card holders. That's just old school. As long as applicants got their entry/exit dates correct, they don't have to worry about nothingTo be honest i don't know why these guys can't get their act together and "control" their borders just like other countries do...the requirement is physical presence only...so its not mandatory for citizenship purposes to "drive" or "go to a doctor" or "go to work"!!

Anyone who recieved AOR or any one who sent application ? Can you guys tell me what are the biographical pages of passport? Does it include the signature page as well?
