C-6 Citizenship Applications, Frequently Asked Questions

[garyzhao]

A question about Q12b. My eligibility period is from 2012 to 2017. But I was not in Canada during 2012 at all. (I did a 2 days' short landing on Canada in 2010 and went back to my country till 2013) .
So can anyone tell me how I should mark "Required to file" under such circumstance? yes or no?

One question about the Physical Presence Calculator: when indicating the "reason" for a trip, did you also specify the destination of the trip?

No ,need to to mention destination ,
just country name is enough which you already selected in drop box

in reason you mention , like For Vacation ,family visit Etc.

Good Luck

If one doesn't use a courier but simply mails the Application to the IRCC's regular mail PO Box 7000 in Sydney NS in a Canada Post ExpressPost envelope with a signature-on-delivery request, will the IRCC/CIC worker who collects the mail from that box routinely go inside the post office with the little card that was in the PO Box in order to pick up & sign for the envelope, or should it have originally been mailed to the IRCC's stated address for couriered applications?

I don't know about mailing regular mail but I do know that we paid extra to have Canada Post require CIC to sign for the package once it had been delivered. We were then able to track and see that they had infact received the package. Maybe someone else can give advice on the regular mail procedure.

Hello everyone,
I have completed and signed my application form. However, I have a couple of question:
1. For Q10 and Q11, while filling out the form online, you have to indicate the day, month and year. When I printed out the form, it only showed month and year. Is it how everyone else here is showing too? How will they know if there was no gap if the printed out form only shows month and year?
2. For q9, I answered YES for temporary resident, should I just include the date starting on my eligibility period or should I input the date as what is showing on my work permit?

Thank you so much for your inputs! Good luck!

I've seen the guide, that's why I'm asking. There's no much difference between general or academic, except that academic is harder to get scores. I don't see why wouldn't be accepted..
I'm not sure about CELPIP either..

Can't tell, sorry. But don't freak out about it too much. It's just a detail.

Hi spyfy..I have the same question..so one should mention the employment address instead of residential address?!

It means where you could be physically located for your job? your workplace address?

Hi, I can't open the link..could you send it in another format?

 

[Didi17]

If there is overlap, then it is fine. Some people do multiple jobs at the same time. It's better to disclose. Just make sure your tax papers show the same.

Another example is for addresses. For example, if you live in one address is 2 years, say March 2013 to March 2015. The second address is April 2015 to present. The way you write the first address is 2013/03 to 2015/03. The second address is 2015/03 to PRESENT.

There has to be absolutely NO GAPS in your timeline. Thankfully we only have to mention Month and year and not the actual dates.

Good luck with your application

Hi.. Do you rather mean "the second address is 2015/04 to PRESENT"?

You can even submit both. Many people here (including me ^^) sent the PR card, a driving licence and a health card.

For Q.11 - Do we need to add Postal code in (Where were you physically located? Address (number and street name)

I am filling up the citizenship form and need help with regard to immigration status in the form since I am confused between permit and visa.

I came as a student then got a work visa and then PR. Here is the situation

- If I got my visa with 1st March written on it but I used it on 1st April I should write 1st April right? Permits are more accurate representations of time than visa. Same goes for PR since I didn't claim my PR for a week or so.

- My Student visa expired on 15 April, and I received my work visa on 15 May. In the meanwhile I had my work permit so should I write the date I received my work visa or work permit? In terms of the visa, there is a gap of a month while I was in Canada.

Hi everyone!
I have a quick question regarding police certificate. The document checklist says that a person should provide it in case he spent a total of 183 days or more in another country in the FOUR yrs immediately before the date of application. 4 yrs ago ( November 2013 ) I still lived in my home country and landed in Canada on July 2014. Do I still need to provide the certificate?

Thanks a lot!
