Hello everyone! I'm filling out the form right now, and I'm a bit stuck on question #11.

1. I work for company that is located in US, but I work remotely from home. Should I put my home address as an address for this employment since I'm physically in Canada, or should it be an employer address?

2. My husband worked for one company remotely, but we switched home addresses during that employment period (moved from Montreal to Vancouver). Should we mention both home addresses for this employment, or should it be an employer address? (guess it'a basically the same question as the first one, but I'm confused if we have to mention multiple addresses in case we need to write the home address for remote work)

3. I started my small business, but it's still at the very early stage (I don't earn anything from it and don't even sell anything yet). Should I list it in the employment list? I'm doing it a side hustle, and I have a full-time job at the same time, and I have all 5 year period covered. It's a registered corporation, if it helps to answer the question.

Hope someone can help me with these questions! Thanks! :)

Hi all

I still have not received my paper-based certificate. It is after 2 weeks of oath. I need it for my travel. What can I do? Thanks for your help
Hi there! Is it possible for you to share with us the timeline of your citizenship application? I have submitted my application on July 8, 2023 and would like to know some key dates/checkpoints so that I am prepared.

Thanks,

Unless you're a crown servant, or Canadian military working in the US, then she needs to comeback to Canada and be physically present here to qualify for Canadian citizenship.

Hello all,
I am applying online. I am not sure about some of the questions. Hope you guys can help.
1) List all of your travel documents or passports covering your 5-year eligibility period.

Do I need to upload any study/ work permits from Canada ? Are those permits considered as travel document ? Or I just need to upload my passports

2) Upload the passport biographical page

I have one bio page that includes my name, photo, date and place of birth, passport/travel document number, issue date and expiration date. Do I need to upload the signature page? It is separate page with all emergency contacts.

3) List all addresses inside and outside of Canada during your entire 5-year eligibility period.
If I live in my current address from 2016, should I write it Oct 2016- present, or July 27 2018 - present (the exact 5 year period)



Thank you for the reply!

Hi guys I have a qn.
I am having a hard time determining if I need police certificate from USA or not. For this
Q10 (b): In the past four (4) years, were you in a country or territory other than Canada for 183 days or more in a row (since the age of 18)?

Do I say yes or no. I lived in the USA for 10 years got PR 2019 May then left US September 9 and did my first landing. So the four years falls in between me being in the US and Canada. If I answer yes would I need to provide FBI clearance??????
