They usually ask to specify the 1st country you went to as it's the one in their records. But to be honest, putting US or India there makes no real difference as long as you clarify it in the textbox or a explanation letter.

One entry only. You can keep it short. Something like : Visited family / took a long vacation in India. During my x months trip, I had 5 short visits to country A, country B, country C, country D and country E. You can add the dates for those if space allows, but if not, whatever, these dates...

Expired passports : having a current passport isn't a requirement. This is fine. Minor's health card : dunno. Proof of residency : just provide what IRCC asks for. If they didn't ask for it, don't provide it and keep it simple. Multiple passports : doesn't matter whether you put them in one file...

If any English speaker can figure out the content of the stamp, you should be good. A stamp in a completely different alphabet, with no latin characters, would be a different story.

Speak with a lawyer.

In theory, you're supposed to have all the required documents, that includes the language proof, but not the other stuff you listed, which you may have added as additional docs but was pretty much superfluous. In practice, if you can speak english/french, they won't check the language proof, so...

If you move a week before you send your application and your ID reflects the previous address, the IRCC officer will understand that, well, these things take time. Don't worry about it, this is pretty much a non issue. Move when you can, send the application whenever you want, provide the ID you...

IRCC only wants the report, not the fees, you have nothing to pay.

Everything you said after "Jan 2020" doesn't matter as the PCC requirement only applies depending on what you did in the last 4 years. And you didn't say where you went and for how long I the last 4 years... Have you spent more than 6 months in a row somewhere in the past 4 years? If you did...

Not at all, no need to use a new email.

That "only incomplete stage" will stay incomplete for a few years then a citizenship judge will refuse your application. Your choice whether you prefer the little frustration of starting over or the bigger frustration of fully facing the consequences of not applying properly.

Thank you for this link, yeah, it does look like a contradiction with the other page. Maybe it means that it's no needed to apply for citizenship, as it's not a requirement for a complete application and most people get their citizenship without that request, but IRCC can ask for anything...

It's not "random", but it happens to a sizable minority of applicants. There is no need to call IRCC, they will just confirm that you indeed need to get your fingerprints. Just wait for the official letter then take care of it. Also, I don't know where you've seen that citizenship applicants...

General advice here : the best thing you can do is to double check and triple check your physical presence history. Mistakes do happen, and the vast majority of applicants who make these mistakes were 100% sure they didn't make any. A mistake-free reporting of your entries and exits with no...

There's no "best" one. The first results you see on Google (Richmond Public Library, Citizenship counts and others...) are generally good, so just spend some time with those. If there's a question that is not in the study guide, it will not be in the real test, so don't worry about it.

Let us know how your process went. Could be useful for a forum reader in the future :)

Go through this (or other similar threads?) and see people's comments maybe https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/applicants-waiting-for-more-than-2-years-interested-in-mandamus-with-a-firm-as-a-group-meet-here.743417/

If you can't enter a date that starts before the eligibility period, just enter the vacation as if it started on the 1st day of your eligibility, make sure that you're applying with a buffer because you shouldn't be credited for that day, and add a letter of explanation.

To add to the message above : even if IRCC asks you about the whole passport scan, they will only care about the actual content of the passport, and they know that stamping a passport is no longer a universal. No need to go out of your way to get stamps. If you didn't get one when you entered or...
