    Should you translate passport stamps even if not requested?

    Hello All, I have a question for you. For the citizenship test and interview, should you have all non-English entry/exit passport stamps translated? The letter we received from IRCC telling us to come for the test/interview did not say anything about translating the stamps. Should we do...

    Can you mail in citizenship application the same day that you sign it?

    I become eligible about a week before, but I would have put August 1 as the application date on the Online Physical Presence Calculator (and as the signing date of the main application itself). Can I also mail it August 1, or is there some reason that I should wait till August 2? Snoopy

    Did law change so that now travel days can be counted as residence days?

    The link you provided refers to bill C-6. That bill hasn't passed the Senate yet. I was told that the law changed in 2015 changing things so that, on a trip, the day you depart and the day you return can be counted as residence days. Is that accurate or false? Thanks, Snoopy
