Would it affect my application if I select 'No' to the question 'I authorize IRCC to forward my personal information to my Member of Parliament '?
It's just for the office of that member of parliament to potentially send you a generic congrats letter after you become a citizen.
No other effect whatsoever.

Hello folks, the ID requirements for the online application have changed since last I was checking, and now I'm trying to apply. I have a question.
The first ID that I can upload has to be either biopage of my passport, or PR card. The second ID, can be a variety of things (if I select PR card as first ID, it has to be issued by Canadian government, like health card or driver's license, but if I choose passport, it can be foreign or Canadian).
My question is, the requirement for the ID are that it must have a signature, but the PR card doesn't have a signature. So how can I upload PR card and health card? This is a weird change they made, I was hoping to just upload my driver's license and health card. My passport is expiring soon.
I think they probably updated one thing but forgot to update the other... is it OK if I go with my PR card + Ontario health card?

One more question. When uploading my photo, why does it say a maximum of 4 files can be uploaded? am I supposed to upload anything else there? The photographer receipt apparently used to be a thing people uploaded, but now they want their information typed in.

Hi. Once AOR received, is the application connected to by Canada.ca account (where I applied for everything else from study permit to permanent residency)? How do I continue to follow the progress? Is it only via the ECAS form?

Hello guys, Im about to submit my online application.

I have 4 questions:

1- Do I have to scan all pages in my passport? it says only the "

The bio page(s) has your information (for example, name, photo, and date of birth).

If your document has more than 1 bio page, upload them all as 1 file.


"
So I assume it's only the bio page. am I right?

2- Regarding employment: I had worked as a DoorDash delivery while in school, but I did not make enough money to get the T4 and declare tax for it, so should I include in my application that I worked there as well?

3- I worked at a bank for 1 week too, and got paid for it, should I declare it as well?

4- Uploading picture, So, I go to a photographer, ask him to take pictures, and write his name on the back.
But when I upload I only upload the digital one right? or should I scan the physical for the front and back?

Hope to hear from you

Problem is that I never received the AOR email even though the other 3 members of my family did. Using ECAS, I have confirmed that they have received my application. Can I continue to monitor progress on ECAS?
You can continue, but citizenship tracker is best way to have the most updated information

When you say Passport photos asked and sent, didn't you include them in your application? or it was a paper application?
