November 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[SAKARUN]

I think the 3rd GU that you're talking about is not actually a GU. It's the date your tracker was updated to reflect the BG Completion
I've the same dates as you and my tracker was updated on 31st to reflect background check that you see completed on 27th

Aha, got it, thanks

Do we need to staple or clip the papers into an envelop, or can we keep all paper loose.

Do we need to staple or clip the papers into an envelop or can we keep all paper loose.

As mine was a family application and just to avoid mixing it, I used Paper Clamps like this - https://www.amazon.ca/Aniann-Extra-Large-Binder-Clamps/dp/B07JMLF4KS

Paper clamp can be discarded by them if they do not need it.

If its single applicant you can keep it all together in an envelope, no need for staple or clips.

I used larger paper clips for each set and put a post it naming each set . e.g. Photo identification proof: Passport biographical page and health card. then i put a cover page before each applicant's name with the index of all the document included. so they know that next person's pages to follow

Mine is family application and I am keeping everyone application in separate envelope (All papers are loose) and then all envelopes in single large envelope. I hope nothing would wrong with it. Please correct me.

Yes that should be ok as long as you wrote a cover letter stating there will be 4 applicants..

Hi everyone, there’s an important notice on the test invitation asking to provide scanned copies ofany passports or travel documents I held thru the eligibility period.. I have my original passport and it’s expired but don’t got the travel document cuz I lost it while ago and it was expired as well. I never made a police report. Does everyone get this same notice ?

Yes, online applicants generally receive this request. Some times paper applicants do too. Make sure you attach:
1. your all pages of expired passport +
2. any copies of your lost/stolen travel document, if you have them (hopefully you have copy of all pages) +
3. police report for the lost/stolen travel document
4. list of travel dates on your travel document and proof (e.g. tickets)
4. cover letter explaining the loss/theft of your travel document and you are attaching the above documents
