I would really appreciate your input related to education records of non-dependent children. Section 6 G of the citizenship application refers to education records of children and I’m not sure if this is applicable in my case. I went through a similar dilemma with the application for permanent residence, different requirements that included medical exams for non-dependent children. Obtaining these records could be extremely complicated because of relationship status.
I have two children, not dependent, and I’m not applying for citizenship on their behalf. They reside abroad with my ex-wife and I provide child support. I'm only able to see them during the summer and Christmas breaks as per the divorce agreement, that’s only 5-6 weeks/per year.
Any thoughts?
Section 6 (instruction Guide)
“In addition, provide photocopies of official education records for all children in Canada or abroad who were under the age of 18 in the last four (4) years immediately before the date of your application, even if you are not applying for Canadian citizenship on their behalf. You must also provide documents for any children who are already Canadian citizens, if applicable.
Note: Student identification cards and letters from institutions, teachers, principals are not accepted as official education records. For example, an official transcript from an educational institution would satisfy this requirement. A letter from an institution is only acceptable in the following two circumstances:
Child has recently enrolled in school and a report card has not yet been issued
Child is being homeschooled (see below)”
Thanks in advance,
