Folks,
Do you know which way is preferable , applying citizenship Citizenship Application ( FAMILY PAPER BASED FOR 2) VS ONLINE for each adult ??

Any disadvantages of applying separately online ??
 
Well, separate applications will have separate timelines. You may want to both be at the same citizenship ceremony, but that's about it.

I have two questions pertaining to citizenship application. I applied for spousal sponsorship last year and now will be applying for citizenship. There is some data that was the same in spousal sponsorship but there were some issues that I think I need to address.


1.I worked for company B which was a subsidiary of company A. My first paycheck and employee card and even company policy/building were of company A(Parent company) however then all pay stubs and T4 have company B's name. I wrote employer as Company B/ Company A in the spousal sponsorship application. Can I write the same employer name as Company B/Company A and give a letter of explanation? Will be an issue. I don't want data to be inconsistent.

2. I own a corporation that still exists but I only worked for 1 month in 2017. Spousal Sponsorship didn't require the address but I provided the current corporation address which is my residential address. However, the address of the corporation was different in 2017. Shall I put the current address or the 2017 address when I put that self-employment experience in the citizenship application? Another way which I am thinking is to put the 2017 address and write LOE indicating that the corporation still exists and the current address is my home address but I have a regular T4 job and don't work from a corporation anymore.

Please advise. I am so confused and overthinking lately.

Thanks.

Wondering about the same thing myself..

As another member pointed out above, I think separate timelines for both applications is probably the only downside. But if both applications are filed online one after another and cases aren't very different from each other, it's possible they will move at the same pace.

I don't think there's any real upside of applying separately other than the fact that when sent together as family, if there's an issue with one application, whole package will be returned whereas when applying separately one can continue to be processed. But this may not be an advantage for everyone.
 
Reviving this thread. The question for me is, is it allowed to send separate applications? Btw I couldn't find anywhere that it's not allowed

Yes. no restriction - it's just a personal preference.
