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

There are tens of similar threads, look for those. But short answer : if you're ready to come back to Canada anytime on short notice, nothing to worry about...

This is a generic answer that encompasses all types of application, giving example that may or may not apply to the specific application you're interested in. The passport validity can be relevant to set a visa duration or stick a visa for example, but a passport renewed after you applied for...

If you got that document after your application, you don't need to send it at all.

You'll be in UK. The local address will make more sense I guess, at the very least if they have to send it by mail.

Occupation-based guarantors are just an alternative if you can't find a Canadian citizen in the country where you want to apply, but if you have a Canadian citizen available, regardless of where the person lives, you should be good to go.

It shows that the officer doesn't work for Passport Canada, he has no idea what he's saying. Not everything the employees of the government say should be taken face value, especially when it contradicts the official websites. Family members of mine also applied for their first passport from...

One of the answers is literally someone saying they did it in UK with absolutely no problem. You're free to seek confirmation from a specific individual, but why?
