February 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[Asfano74]

Thanks, that's what I figured. Got my last T5 today - will send it to my accountant on Monday. Already spoken to him and he said he'd do it in 30 minutes once I receive my T5s.

Fingers crossed. Plan on sending the application out on Thursday.

Am some how confused, if you will send application on Thursday February 27, you still cannot tic that you filed your taxes! Tax filing system opens on March 1st.!

Sent it with Canada Post express mail tracking, shows 'out for delivery' since February 13. Called Canada Post numerous times, created a ticket but haven't heard anything back yet. Shoud I be worried? Any way to contact IRCC?

Hi guys,
I am about to submit my citizenship application on this Feb. I have a question for the form cit0002e. I want to change the order of my name (during the landing, officer put my name in wrong order as my middle became my first name) and also adding my English name. (last name is the same)
My question is I just need to use this form (cit0002e) to insert my new legal name or do I need to add any other form???? if yes, what is that form?
Thank you

Where did the officer put your name (in wrong order)?
You must write the name exaclty how it shows on your travel documents (like passport OR PR card)

Hello,

I have some questions in the Citizenship application form CIT002 E

Q 12b) tell us when you filed your income taxes in the last 5 years using the chart below.

I have landed first time in 2016 and filed taxes for 2016, 2017 and 2018.

• Do I need to write anything about 2019 tax year. (I have not filed for 2019).
• In 2015 and 2014 I was in middle east and did not file taxes as, it was a tax-free country. I am a citizen of India, no taxes for foreign workers/NRIs in India. I did not file in India too. What should I write for the years 2015 and 2014. I want to write as - In Required to file and taxes filed columns. No and No ? Is it correct?
• Is this tax information related to Canada only? or home country / tax in other country also applies here.
• I am filing my application in march. Do I need to file 2019 tax before filing my citizenship application?

Q 13 Have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in any country other than Canada, including your country of birth?

• What should I list?
• I am listing my Indian citizenship details.
• I was a student in Europe for 2 years (which was not in my 5 year eligibility period). Do I need to list this.? As in the Q 13 it states under status as student/worker etc.
• I was also working in the middle east during my eligibility period on work permit. Do I need to list his as well.?

Q 15 Language evidence.

I am currently full-time studying at a Canadian University and received 1st sem transcript (online print).

• Is transcript enough for language evidence. I did not completed the degree though.
• Do I need to submit my old IELTS copy, when applied for PR.

Also have degrees from Europe and back home in English. I don’t want to submit those as I feel that my current Canadian transcript of 1 sem is enough for language evidence. Any suggestions?

Q In the online physical presence calculator.

• Should I mention the time, before landing in Canada/becoming PR.
• I landed in 2016 and applying now in 2020.
• In 2015 I was in middle east, should I mention this or not? As it is in my eligibility period, but I did not go out of Canada. I landed in 2016, So how will I be absent in 2015.

Please answer my questions. I appreciate your kind response.

Sorry for my English, I am was in a hurry!

Thanks a lot

2016,2017,2018 tax return are fine as you meet 3 years tax return eligibility, No need to tick 2019 for feb application
you have to list your Indian citizenship (by birth if you born there), for Europe and middle east you have to mention student and work/job visa OR whar ever the status you were on that time
if you completed any degree, post secondary in English or french you can submit that, if you studding in Canada and you transcript you could do that as well
online calculator is 5 years from the day you are going to submmit your citizenship app so you have to mention in application about that duration even before becoming PR/landing

Hello all,

I am preparing my application for citizenship and have a couple of questions.

1. Do I need to send a copy of all the stamped pages of my passport? I know they have mentioned only bio pages but in that case, how would they verify my entry/exits from Canada?
2. I had submitted my IELTS certificate at the time of my PR application and I am going to send the same this time too. However, my spouse also has her IELTS certificate but we never used that for her PR application. Can she use that now? She also has her bachelor's and master's transcript and certificates but nowhere it is mentioned that medium of instructions was English.

I would be grateful if someone can share their experiences.

1. They will check at the time of interview in case they have questions on entry/exit. No need to give more than what they've asked for

2. Yes, her IETLS should be fine. Doesn't matter if she didn't use for PR
