All pages = All pages. Bio pages, empty pages, pages with stamps. Basically, ALL the pages in your passport. And make sure you get a certified translation for anything that isn't in English or French.
I’m assuming this requirement is no longer valid. The online form doesn’t state this requirement anywhere.

or am I getting this wrong?

Just got AOR email.

Paper applicant
City : Toronto
App submitted : 26 july 2021
AOR email : 26 Oct 2021.

I do not see any attachment for file number.

Any idea why it say " Application was created on Sept 07,2021 ?

Thank you for submitting your application for a grant of Canadian citizenship. Your application was created in our system on September 7, 2021 and is currently in progress.

Should I expect another email with application number ?

If you don't submit it with your online application, you'll be asked to submit it at a later point in time anyway. So, its up to you. Some online applicants choose to submit all pages of the passport in the "Other documents" section upfront so they don't have to submit it again at a later point in time. Passport pages request has become a standard for almost all applicants lately.

Hello friends!

Does it still matter(it used to matter as per posts from 2015) if your 'Identification Id' - say Health Card, was only issued 3-4 months back?

My Health Card was lost recently and I had to get it reissued some 4 months back. Could this be a hindrance in any way?

I am planning on submitting my Health Card and PR Card.

Thank you!

Not an issue. You can submit your health card.

Hey guys, does the invitation for test come in the mail or email? We have moved two months ago and while I tried changing my address a few times I still see my old address in my profile so I am afraid if they are sending me any notification by mail.
My ecas was Sep 22. Thanks!

@chente if you provided an email, and you certainly did, you'll receive it by email.
Also, the address changing process used to be quite slow, it took time to update. Seems like it's still the case...

Thanks for this! Yes i did provide email and received updates once they received the application.
Thanks for the heads up, we are moving to our permanent place here in BC in a couple of weeks s I will probably request a change to the future address now

Under my tracker, it's say In progress on language, background check, physical presence usually do they update from In progress to completed all at once or as and when they finished?

If you did not live in Canada prior to becoming (landing as) PR in Canada, you have to just list details of your India trip.

I got my PR a year ago, I applied through EE under CEC. Today, after talking to one of my co-workers, I found out that I worked unauthorized for around one month before applying for PGWP. ( i been staying with the same company for a few years at that moment so they decided to give me a promotion right after my graduation)

I mentioned my employment period during my PGWP (did not tick "no" for unauthorized work box). I submitted all my T4 throughout the PR process as well.

I am closer to the citizenship application so I have been wondering whether I should write an LOE about that one-month unauthorized work to come clean?

Hope to hear from you guys,

Consult a lawyer, unless your friend is an immigration lawyer/consultant. He might be giving you the wrong information.
