September 2018 - Citizenship Applicants

[ski]

Hi. You have to wait at least 3 days. It says "Please keep in mind that you must wait a minimum of 3 business days after your Citizenship Ceremony to apply for a Canadian Passport" in your email.

And Did you bring this?

All of the original documents in your possession – Immigration Record of Landing (IMM1000) or
Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM5292 or IMM5688);


Is it something like the checklist when I submitted my citizenship application? or can I bring only CoPR?

Bring both if you have. They take away only your PR card. They tell you to preserve your COPR because you need that for applying for benefits later.

I am just wondering if COPR will ever be required in future for any purpose other than only for record keeping sake.
