September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[puff123]

hello everyone,

I'm applying for citizenship in a month and my passport expires in Aug 2021. Considering that the process takes more than a year, do I need to renew my passport before I apply for citizenship?

Thanks

Submitted an application earlier this month.

Location: Halifax
App type: Single
Physical presence days: 3 years
App sent date: 09/2/2020
App delivered date: 09/4/2020

It takes 3 days from SK to NS, and it takes 2 days from NS to NS... CanadaPost does really suck...

Hi Guys for the citizenship photo, is it enough if back side of photo holds the shop name, data and applicant's name? who should sign in Guarantor's signature?

Below is from the IRCC website concerning photos requirement for citizenship:
Requirements

• Provide two (2) identical citizenship photographs (except Renunciation applications, where only one (1) photo is required.)
• Your photographs must comply with the specifications below. If the photographs do not meet the specifications, you will have to provide new photographs before your application can be processed.
• Photographs must be printed on quality photographic paper.
• Provide the name of the photographer or the studio, the studio address and the date the photos were taken on the back of the photos
• Print the name of the person on the back of the photos.

Specifications

• The photographs must be identical and taken within the last six months. They may be either black and white or colour.
• The photographs must be clear, well defined and taken against a plain white or light-coloured background.
• If the photographs are digital, they must not be altered in any way.
• Your face must be square to the camera with a neutral expression, neither frowning nor smiling, and with your mouth closed.
• You may wear non-tinted prescription glasses as long as your eyes are clearly visible. Make sure that the frame does not cover any part of your eyes. Sunglasses are not acceptable.
• A hairpiece or other cosmetic accessory is acceptable if it does not disguise your normal appearance.
• If you must wear a head covering for religious reasons, make sure your full facial features are not obscured.

Canada Post is fine but there are numerous companies in Canada that can deliver your package, such as FedEx, UPS, Purolator, CanPar, Dicom, Loomis, DHL, not to mention the countless number of local couriers. Compare the prices of a few of them and decide. They all offer almost the same service.

If you are using Canada post, use PO box address. UPS/FedEx/Purolator use courier address.
