No-one is. Feel free to use your not so fancy helicopter every day. If you do it before midnight, you can even do it every other day and save yourself half the trips...

Yeah, sure, I'm the troll here. Look, the bill is good news, and I welcome it, but you can't really say people were being "gatekeepers" years ago when there was no discussion about changing it, and there would be none today anyway if a court didn't force it on a government that wouldn't have...

It's just an automated equivalent to someone obsessively checking the tracker themselves many times a day. There's nothing illegal with it. IRCC doesn't care how often you check the tracker.

If the passport validity falls within the 5 years eligibility period, yes provide the information.

No-one cares about your citizenship status. Relax and move on with your life. Reviving a thread from 2017 to score Internet points is kinda pointless.

The best advice is always to stick to what IRCC asks for, and nothing else. Youve copy-pasted what says that they don't need one, so apply without one and without a letter of explanation as you don't need to explain why you didn't provide what you're not asked to provide.

Yeah, under very very very very very special circonstances. Something like having your oath ceremony during a tennis grand slam tournament you're a heavy favorite to win and you've already told Tennis Canada you wanna represent the country asap may clear the bar, logistics like "I can't get...

That's not a problem. You can file tax for previous years. Do it today for the missing year and go ahead with your citizenship application stress free right after. By the time IRCC checks with CRA, they will have processed your tax return.

My previous message already answers you. 730 days outside Canada still doesn't put you in a residency breach situation, as you'll have the other 3 years out of 5 within the country. You have a year buffer.

Being a PR is a citizenship application requirement. It would be a problem if there was a risk of residence breach, but you've been in Canada for pretty much a year more than the needed 2 years out of 5, so you'll be fine, unless IRCC forgets about your citizenship for another year...

IRCC want the address of where you lived at the time.

A few days before the ceremony. No need to check your mail regularly, it will only happen after you see the date in your tracker. How long it takes for your tracker to be updated is anyone's guess. It will be "soon", but soon can be a few days or a few months.

Note that the kids if less than 14 don't need to come back, just take their PR cards with you. This should save you some of the financial burden going back to Canada for the oath will cost.

Enter one single entry for these 2 years, list the country where you lived at the time, and in the explanation section, go with something like "Lived and worked in country A. Also had small travels during that time to country B, country C and country D".

There have been reports of exceptions, but they're so rare you can 99.9999% forget it, you'll need to be in Canada. Also, to add to the above answer : google "CBSA travel history record".

Official answer from the Canadian government website : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/india.html This includes BLS, so in theory you can do it through them. I'll leave the answer in practice to the numerous...

There is no physical presence requirement for kids. Being a PR is enough if they have a Canadian parent or apply with a parent.

The last 4 years as of today : from May 22 2020 to May 22 2024. You came back on May 10 2021, a bit more than 3 years ago. So, you spent nearly a full year in India (May 22 2020 to May 10 2021), which makes it crystal clear. That's more that 183 days in the last 4 years, so yeah you need one...

Go through these. There's potential relevant information here ...

Unless you have something that qualifies you for an urgent processing (see link below), none. Stick to what IRCC asks for and keep it simple. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/apply/urgently.html
