Guys,

I know you are super excited to submit your application right away, but if I were you, for every trip I had, I would buffer a few days more than 1095 days. Also make sure that you are eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship the day before you sign the application form.
One other thing, If you guys know each other in person (or you know anyone who has applied or is applying for citizenship), it helps a lot to check each other forms to make sure you are not missing anything.

Good luck!

Steps for Citizenship Application preparation:

Download the forms from following
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/adults.asp

Also read the application guide available on the above link.

Get your photographs done too, make sure they are as per citizenship application specs, and don't forget to get it stamped at the back
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/photospecs-cit.asp

You will need the following documents

- Application Form - Make sure you include postal codes for all Canadian and foreign addresses where you lived
- Don't leave any column empty, for any non applicable column put “N/A”

- Online Residence Calculator (Don't Forget to Sign - a very common mistake applicants do)

- Copy of Landing paper

- Copy of PR Card (Copy of Both Sides)

- Copy of Driving License (Copy of Both Sides)

- Copy of Health Card (Copy of Both Sides)

- Passport page copies - Biometric Pages and Pages with entry or exit stamps (old & new)

- Copy of IELTS score card or any other CIC approved English proficiency test results (Language Proof)

- TRANSCRIPTs from University or college you attended (Copy)

- Photos (Don't Forget to put your name at the back - a very common mistake applicants do)

- Fee Receipt

Pay online for your application https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en

Make sure you keep a copy of full application package before mailing it. Send it via courier even if you have to pay extra.There is a different address in case you want to send via courier

Good, thanks. For passport, it's only biometric pages; requirement does not necessitate any other pages

I added myself to the list. I hope everyone does the same, so that we can track our applications together.

Good luck to all, only about 3 weeks left.

Good luck to all.

Hi all, hope everyone's application is moving at a good pace :)

I am putting together my documents. I had a bit of traveling in the last 4 years so decided to wait for around 4 weeks before sending the application this Monday. I need your help with question 5(E).

I have been a resident of Toronto since arriving in Canada. Two years ago, I worked for a company in Vancouver for a month. During that time I stayed at a friend's place in Vancouver. My paychecks and T4 have my friend's address. However I was still keeping my Toronto apt. and paying rent.

I am confused as to which of the addresses should I put in the application. As I was physically working at company location in Vancouver and living in Vancouver too. But also I was keeping my apt in Toronto and paid rent here.

I very appreciate your help in anticipation!!

Best,

Hi everyone,

Two questions to you:

1. I fulfill the residency requirements on May 27th. And I am planning to submit the application on May 28 with UPS (should be there on May 29). Any thoughts? I don't want t to risk it, if the law gets implemented on June 1st. I have entry-exit stamps in my passport, hopefully those will satisfy the CIC.

2. What exactly happens after I submit the application? I will be out of Canada for four months from early june to late September. Will I need to follow-up anything? I assume they wouldn't call me for citizenship test earlier than 4 months. Any thoughts on this?

Many thanks and good luck everyone.

Those Applicants who traveled US a lot can now check their exit and entry date online, this can help in avoidng any hickups due to variation/ difference in date entered in the application, check the below link:

I will be submitting our applications in a week too. Am gathering the documents right now and noticed that the photos taken at London Drugs are slightly smaller than the requirement of 35x45mm. It came out to be 35x43 mm and 35x44 mm.

I am wondering if I should get the photos re-taken? This is so annoying since I had brought the requirement to London Drugs. Yet, there are discrepancies..... :-(

Just take your receipt there and they will take it again for you for free.

It may not be a big issue since just 2 mm, but better to go and talk to London Drug, they must reprint the photos free of charge.
