Calling all the experienced applicants to help me with the following questions:
5 year eligibility period: July 3, 2019 to July 2, 2024
Identification: We have recently moved and none of us (me and my spouse) have any of our ids like drivers licenses in the current address, can we provide utility bill as address under optional documents?
Residence & Tax>Immigration and citizenship status
* Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)?
As per the paper application guide, we must declare all types of visa(including visitor) we have held in our lifetime. Since there is no option to upload all the pages with visa stamps, should we upload these as one document separately with some stamps in the expired passport too? Should I also include copies of all the study and work permits in the same document?
Also, my spouse travelled to Europe on Type C Schengen visa - Short stay visa in 2010 and 2012 (the stays were not max 30 days long). Should we also include this in all pages of the passport under optional documents?
Physical Presence:
My study visa is out of the 5 year eligibility period mentioned above? Should I still include it or list them separately under optional documents?
What is considered as the "Date you received the status" my temporary work permit (PGWP) says 09-April-2019 however, work visa stamp in the passport says 06-May-2019?
My spouse had an implied status, should we mention it separately or the the "Do you apply to extend your status" suffices it? Should we explain this in letter of explanation under optional documents?
What's the difference between electronic and paper citizenship certificate?
Thank you so much for your help.
