There doesn't even seem to be a pattern...if we look at the SS - its pretty random on date received as well...

Hi,
nobody is supposed to send all passport pages. The only passport page required is your bio page (the page with your photo).

Dear
My another query is still not been solved that form CIT 0177 for residence outside canada ( Crown servant) does not relates to me as I am ordinary person. However I will attach physical presence calculator duly signed. My request is to get advice from persons who got thier AOR as to whether they have also submitted the form by typing not applicable or they have not sent form CIT 0177 at all with the citizenship application. Shall feel obliged if any senior or any person who received AOR may advise ne on the above issue. Regards

We got AOR and we haven't sent CIT 0177 at all.

This was very confusing for us as well as in case you reply that you lived outside Canada for certain period(like we have lived), application itself is asking you to provide CIT 0177. Since we did lived in our home country for x amount of time, if we would follow the application to the letter, we would supposed to send CIT0177.

Since I couldn't understand why would I send it as it is not applicable to us at all, I just chosen not to send it at all and even worse I selected that we haven't lived anywhere else, although it is clear by looking at the other documents that we did.

My understanding is that most appropriate way would be to select yes and to send a form, where on the form you should indicate not applicable as some did. However, I trust that even goverment officers are aware of this confusing question and that you need to provide CIT0177 only if you arre trying to claim additional days, and that in case you don't every other option is fine (sending it or not).

I hope this helps you and that it makes sense.
This is all just my personal opinion, not claim by all means.

Hi,
if you want to be on the safe side, fill CIT 0177 with N/A and include it in your application. Although 'ghostrideryu' is giving you his/her case experience but there were people on this forum(in the same situation as yours) that got their application back due to not including Crown servant form CIT 0177.
So it's your call what you decide now.

I had mixed feelings about my application because I was worried it might be sent back because I forgot to sign my passport photo and my proof of english was my 10+2 marksheet from CBSE Board India. But looks like all is well sp far

Hi everyone,

Some basic questions for a newbie - appreciate the help.

1) How is the AOR received? Via email or postal mail? We gave an email in the application form, so I am assuming it will be sent via email. Also, normally, what is the subject line of the email / name of sender? Thanks

2) How are people checking their status online? What is the link and what number is needed to check the status of application? Is it the UCI number we put on our application?

Thanks again.

The help button in that question is useful (atleast when I sent my application)

There are very rare circumstances that will let you count time outside of Canada towards your physical presence calculations. If you resided outside of Canada because either:
- you
- your Canadian Citizen or permanent resident spouse or common law partner
- permanent resident parent
was employed outside Canada (not as a locally engaged person) in or with :
- the Canadian Armed Forces
- the federal public administration
- the public service of a province or territiory

Complete the Residence Outside of Canada form (CIT 0177) and submit any supporting documents requested in that form with your application.

Even when you open the form the title is:
RESIDENCE OUTSIDE CANADA
FOR ADULT CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS DECLARING RESIDENCE OUTSIDE
CANADA AS A CROWN SERVANT OR WITH A CROWN SERVANT FAMILY MEMBER
(SPOUSE, COMMON-LAW PARTNER OR PARENT)

Just presenting what I read and its not a claim , and my application is still pending an AOR so...

You mean the 2 photos we submitted has to be signed on the back side? Is that true,
? I never did that or read anywhere.
For English, it’s good that they accepted 10+2 marksheet. Me provided the IELTS copy used during pr time
