Citizenship application - question related to Minor

[ramansingh05]

Hi @All, I have quick question, I am about to file my citizenship application for myself and my 4 year old daughter. There is question which is little confusing for me so could you please help on this.

Has the minor been outside of Canada for a total of 730 days or more (2 years or more) in the past five (5) years or since becoming a permanent resident?

Should I say "YES" or "NO". Below are her detail
DOB - 10.10.2020
Obtained PR - 31.03.2022( She is in Canada since 2021)

Why the confusion ? Count the days yourself. You didn't specify the entry/exits from Canada since she came in 2021, so we can't answer.
And with the information you gave, for a baby born in october 2020 and wo came here in 2021, it would be in all cases significantly less than 730 if she arrived here in december 2021, so, "NO" would be the answer you want, regardless of whether you consider the 5 years, or the date she became a PR. Trust yourself in being able to answer simple questions.

She born in India in Oct 2020 and came to Canada on visitor visa in Sep 2021. She got PR on Mar 15th 2022 and still in canada.
My confusion is do I count the days she became PR? or the time from last 5 years even though she was born in 2020(4 yrs back)

 

[Seym]

Well, she was only outside Canada between the day she was born and the day she arrived here, which is less than 730 days. You obviously shouldn't consider the days before she was born for this question. So answer "NO" (which would be the same answer regardless of whether you consider PR or 5 years!) and move on to the next question.

Regarding question:
List all addresses inside and outside of Canada during your entire 5-year eligibility period.
I do lived in india for about 6 months but I do have physical address for Canada as well. I lived in India as kid of stuck during Covid time so do I need to provide Indian address as well? Is there any implecations on the Tax?

@Seym

Dunno for the tax. But yeah, provide that Indian address.

Also one last question, Do I need to produce PCC based on my scenario.
Got PR in Mar 2018 and landed in Mar 2018 only. Left Canada in Sep 2018 and went to India(Home country) came back in July 2021. Already completed days and now I am about to file the Citizenship. So do I need to provide the PCC from India or should I complete my days as per the 4year rule so I can avoid providing PCC.
PS- I am already eligible to file at the moment if PCC isn't concerned.

You know the rule regarding the PCC requirement and its up to you to decide when to apply really. Just keep in mind that if you decide to wait a bit longer so that the PCC isn't required as part of a complete application, it doesn't stop IRCC form asking for one during the processing.
