[thecoolguysam]

We were planning to apply for all of us together, will that not work?
or should myself and my wife apply and once we receive the citizenship we should apply for my son is that what you are saying?

Yes, you can apply together.

Another quick question i have the followin residency(days) and it does qualify for physical presesce but does this qualify for my -Income Tax filing obligation, since i filed income tax for 2012,13,14,15 where as 2012 doesn't count under 183 days obligation a year, Please let me know the expert thoughts.

If you filed your taxes for 2012 then that is what you mark on your application. the requirement to file is not tied to the 183 days on the application.

Also, my son is 4 years old and he just started the school a month back, should i get a Attendance sheet from his teacher for the month? or is it fine he doesn't need to show anything for residency requirement.

You don't need the attendance sheet, just the name and school that he is attending.

Most of the dual stays in USA or Canada? We need to file tax in both countries?

Hard to say but as for the taxes, yes you have to file taxes in both countries.

not true, US citizen needs to file for US tax no matter where he lives, Canadian citizen living outside Canada only needs to pay if he has economic/family ties in Canada, otherwise he can apply for non-tax status
