Citizenship Applications after Bill C-6

[cherukuriramb]

Guys please help:

Is it OK to put a USA address for the home address in the form; and a Canadian address (a friend) for mailing purpose?

Is there need to explain in an extra letter that I intend to live in Canada eventually? What is the best strategy in this situation?

Thanks,

If you left Canada and visited multiple countries before returning, how do you put that in the PR calculator?

Another silly question... I know passport is the primary travel document and PR is not a travel document regarding question 14... how about Visa? Are Canadian Visas (student/visitor) travel documents? Thanks!

No proof needs to be submitted at this time. If IRCC feels that they need it, they will request for it later on. Collect the proof for your records and take it with you for the interview and oath.

Thank you

Does anyone know if the time spent as "implied status" while waiting for a renewal of a work permit (after the last work permit has expired) must be counted as residency time towards the 3/5?

Hey Marceau,

I believe it is counted as residency time.

As you have already filed your application, I have a question for you. If one applies for a work permit renewal before the expiration of the current one and gets the new work permit 1 month after the expiry date of the current work permit. That person is automatically is implied as temporay worker for 1 month. Does that person while completing the presence calculator have to make a seperate entry for month implied status as temp worker?

As per the link
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/validity/implied.asp

i believe we dont have to specifically break down that 1 month of implied status.

Kindly shed some light.

I qualify for 3/5 years and have a question about 10b. I arrived in Canada 3 years ago as PR. Do I still need to apply another police clearance since it is mentioned "in the past 4 years"? All examples provided from the help button mentioned are about trips made and did not mention about when you landed as a PR.

Just a heads up:

If you signed your application on October 11th, make sure you were eligible to apply for Citizenship on October 10th (Under the old regulations). At the end of the form it clearly says: You must be eligible to apply for citizenship the day before you sign your application. Sooooooooooo BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, you get the worker status since you first got your work permit until you became a permanent resident of Canada regardless of how many extensions you you applied for. Unless you transferred from a Work Permit to a Study Permit, you do not have to enter the so many times you had to renew your work permit. Hope this helps!

This is incorrect - you do not need to be eligible under the old regulations at all.

This is incorrect - you do not need to be eligible under the old regulations at all.

The only requirement is that you have 1095 eligible days of residency prior to the date of your application. If you use the residency calculator correctly it will tell you if you can apply on your chosen date - or the date you can actually apply.

Just enter the primary destination as CBSA only knows the country you are flying to from Canada. This information is given by the airline agent at any Canadian airport. If you travel to another country from outside Canada CBSA will not have that in the records. Now make sure you enter the date you left Canada and the date you entered Canada from the last country you visit in this multi country trip.

Thank you so much!!! I thought I have to redo my presence calculation as i had implied worker status for 1 month or so.

Best of luck with you application!!
