Documents to bring to the Citizenship Test

[jey1988]

Hey guys,

What documents do i need to bring to the Citizenship Test as the letter said to bring all the original documents that support your citizenship application (e.g. birth certificate, etc.)? i searched the forum i found few posts which were 2 years old and i'm not sure if anything changed recently and i want to make sure i have everything i need because some others were mentioning things like phone bills, lease paper, high school diploma/transcript etc.etc which i did not send when i send in the application so i was little confused. Please help.


So far i have:

Drivers License
Health Card
Permanent Resident Card
Old and New Passports
Birth Certificates
Landed Immigrant Papers

Thank you

don't forget the test letter ;D ;D

you MAY bring employment records (NoA, T4, ROE), education records in Canada (diploma, transcript)
if cic asks then you have them.

Questions to the experts:

Should I bring originals of the school transcripts and diploma? Also, I got a letter from my school that our medium of language is English. Should this certification letter also be in original format?

Or would photocopies be enough?

Reason I ask is my original documents are back at my home country. Just wanted to verify if I need to have someone fedex it to me.

Thanks in advance.

Bring everything original to show in case cic officer needs to cross check.

Hi

I have my test soon and this is what I have prepared:

Docs requested in test notice

• The test notice
• Photocopy of bio page of passport
• Original Confirmation of Permanent Residence
• PR Card
• Passport
• 2 x ID; driving license and provincial medical plan card

Originals of docs submitted with application

• IELTS (this is a photocopy as original was submitted with PR application, but thought better to have it)
• Employment reference letter
• Employment contract
• Payslip
• T4s
• NOAs

Others

• Recent payslip
• Updated Employment reference letter
• Entry/Exit records for Canada (CBSA report) and all countries that don't (reliably) stamp passports on entry/exit (e.g. home country, US I-94, Hong Kong etc)
• MSP records

Maybe overkill, but better to be prepared in my view. I hope this helps!

Pedros, make sure you do not have non-English or French stamps on your passport.
By the way, what is your local office and when is your test?
