Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[samjoshi]

In the citizenship application - employment section, should I mention the details/address of the consultant I was working for or the client location details?

Also, the physical presence details do not match with residence details by a day (travel day). The residence details section does not allow a single day gap whereas in reality, I was in transit for about 36 hrs. How does one record such anomalies? As a matter of caution, I have accurately mentioned the physical presence but increased the stay at Canadian residence by a day so that the system error message is addressed.

No such anomaly is possible. Any day you were in Canada for any length of time is a day in Canada. If you were in transit somewhere else (before you arrived at your destination), you weren't in Canada. Again - time in Canada is a day in Canada.

Hi, I have a question about the Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). I became a permanent resident (PR) in 2022, and I will be applying for my citizenship on Dec 19, 2025. I traveled to my home country, India, for one month in 2023 and one and a half months in 2024. Will I need to obtain a PCC from India in this situation?

The PCC requirement clearly speaks about spending 183 days in a row in a country. I highly doubt you can squeeze 183 days in a month or a month and a half.
