Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[khushit]

Hi all, do we have to sign and date the physical presence calculation? I think I have seen some members mention on this forum but the IRCC citizenship application guide says I don't have to?

Best way to organize documents in envelope for mail?

Hi All, I am sending application for family (3 members) and its lot of pages. Can you suggest how to arrange all in one envelope from your experience.
1] Can I use separate envelope for each and put all 3 in one envelope
2] Can I use stapler
3] Can I use Paperclip
3] Can I use Blinder clips
4] How to separate form and supporting documents if we can't use stapler

Any better idea to prepare documents for courier? Please advise

All supporting documents we provided were coloured. Passport copy in particular is required in coloured.
if you can afford to keep everything coloured is fine else jus stick to what is being strictly mentioned in the instruction guide

I am ( under OTHER category). No harm in providing extra information.

Hello guys, what exactly is the process once you login to do the citizenship test? I used a representative for sending my application. So once I login to take my test, will the test link be sent to my representative's email or is there an option to send it to our personal one?

Otherwise I would need to take the test when my representative's office is opened.

Please advise.

Thank you

Hello, Do we need to write name or sign backside of the Photos? @rajkamalmohanram @abbas.pasha

For minor (7 yrs old), I took photocopies of Biographical pages of PASSPORT, not all pages. Is it okay?

Documents are in envelope and just waiting answer for this question

Hi friends,

We have a question about the physical presence calculation - my spouse held an open work permit from September 2016 to August 2017, and became a PR in Aug 2017. But he was in Canada only briefly in September 2016 for a couple of days, and he was working in India, and eventually moved here on OWP in June 2017. Now since, his time as a temporary worker from June-Aug 2017 will count towards the physical presence, we are trying to figure out the most accurate way to answer the question of his temporary residence status i.e. "Please only list the periods of time you had authorized temporary resident or protected person status in Canada and the type of status you had between 2016-12-06 and 2017-08-02 and select Add Entry. Select Calculate when you have finished listing all periods of temporary residence."

Now, although he did have a temporary residence status between Dec 2016 and Aug 2017, he was not in Canada for the majority of this time. So we are planning on giving these dates as 2017-06-07 to 2017-08-02, and just adding an explanation that he actually held the OWP from Sept 2016 to Aug 2017 along with the OWP, but since he was not physically present in Canada from 2016-12-06 to 2017-06-06, the dates in the physical presence calculator are mentioned as 2017-06-07 to 2017-08-02.
