excellent i was waiting for this topic thanks

I have few question:

Q 6E: Are there any gaps in time in the validity period of your passports or travel documents during the past (6) years, or since you became a permanent resident, whichever is more recent?

what does this mean.

I came in Canada with passport , and before it expire I did new passport

example my old passport expired month of September 2016 and month of August 2016 I did new passport

so should i tick YES or NO


2nd question: how many photo should i send,
do i need to write name and DOB at back of the photo or put in a small envelop and write name and DOB on that small envelop


thanks

If your new passport is valid from August and your old expired in September then you tick off NO.

Are you requesting signature upon delivery? If yes send it to the 49 Dorchester Street address.

I sent via post express.
they only let me put the PO box address not the courier address.
and I did get signature for the delivered, but it took me 3 days from Toronto to Sydney.

If you have gaps in the validity of the passport then I think you will need to send a letter explaining the situation. That is what I have read in another post, otherwise they may return the application as it happened to few other member.

No he is correct. If you read the post it says the old passport expired in September 2016. He got the new passport in August 2016. So the old passport expired after the new passport was issued.
No gap as it would only be a gap if the old passport expired before he got a new passport.

And honestly nobody should be 100% dependent on this forum as we are all just people trying to help with our own experience but in no means are we professional consultants.

There is no gap in this case; you answer NO to Q 6 (E)

If there is a gap; you provide explanation in the box provided and this will suffice UNLESS there is a lengthy explanation of circumstances, then a letter will be a better choice....Good luck

you will need to send two (2) photos. As per CIC instructions you must write your name on the back of the photos. DOB not needed. But make sure the person who takes photos stamps them as well with the name and address of studio and date.

I personally used Purolator but FedEx or UPS works too. If you courier with either company and it is adult application send to:
Case processing Centre - Adult Grants
49 Dorchester Street
Sydney, Nova Scotia
B1P 5Z2
