Confused about sending any supporting doc apart from Document check-list

[AYZ]

Hi

I already completed the required period of physical presence in Canada and planning to apply for my Canadian citizenship by end of this month.

In last few days I have already gone through all the information and guidelines, forms check-lists etc. available on CIC website and after reading all this I am confused with one thing;

If go through the Document check-list and the application form CIT-0002, there is no where any document requested to prove our physical presence in Canada i.e pay stubs, T4s, property tax docs, lease agreements, doctors visits, card statements, kids school reports etc.etc.

Can you please help me out that should we send all above supporting documents right now with the application or there is no use of sending these documents until they are asked, does it make any difference to case in terms of processing time if these documents are sent along with the application. And what is reason why IRCC has not requested any supporting documents in the application form or document check-list.

Appreciate your reply.

No need of those proofs in the initial application stage. Just have the online physical presence calculator filled out and send it to CIC along with other required docs (passport copy, language proofs etc.). CIC will check with the CBSA and others to verify the dates you provided for entry/ exists. If more proofs are required, they can ask you at a later stage.
All the very best.
