C-6 Citizenship Applications, Frequently Asked Questions

[amitdi]

Like 1000000000 times. Phew!

I am curious on the PCC. When I got it (its been a few years), that time they required my passport and they had stamped the passport. So are you planning to send the passport to India and get it back with the PCC? Or has the process changed and now your dont require passport?

Hi spyfy

My question is that when filling my tax return i used different mailing address then the actual address where i was living. How will that effect my application. CIC will issue my RQ becuase of this discrepency. Should i use the same address on my citizenship application that is on my tax return.
I created a thread but did not get any reply thats why i m posting my question here.

Why would you do that? Just wondering so others can help you.

guys.. a clarification.. since my name was long, PR card didn't have the last two letters on it. buy my lading docs and my original passport and rest of the docs have my full name.
in the citizenship form, it asks,

what was the exact name on our latest immigration documents? (PR card obviously)...

how do I go about it... help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as you've filed it'll be fine.

Put your full name on the application form - as per your COPR. You won't have an issue.

Yes just that but also under educational history. They said account for every month

Yes a row needs to be added for each degree/ diploma, etc, but you dont need to attach certificate I think. you can take your own call.

for employment, certainly one wont attach proof of employment. also what if someone does not complete the course.

Not from india. I can ship/scan my filled copy to them they verify and stamp and ship it back to me.

True no proof of employment needed.

But why ask for diploma certificates and degree do i send just one of them?

Just trying to get some clarity on Question 11.
here is my situation. I was working for a client via a consulting firm and was physically located at

the clients location. Should I put in the client site address? Whose contact name,

phone number and email address should I give? Because the client perso whom I used

to work for is no longer with the company?

Hi Everyone. I am originally from India and eligible to apply for citizenship now. In the past 4 years, I've stayed a total of 186 days in India and need a police certificate from there. I have family in India who can procure the certificate from an authorized agency (in my case the Senior Superintendent of Police) and send it to me within 2 weeks. But on CIC's website says that this option is valid for applicants who are currently residing in India. If you live outside India, the website says that I need to get a certificate from the nearest Consulate. A certificate from the consulate with take 4-6 weeks. Do you think I can get the certificate directly from India and use that or will have to get it done through the consulate? This will speed track my application.

You can get Indian PCC from Consulate, fast actually. I got it twice for my folks during PR

This is how I am reading it. You do not need to send any certificate to meet section 11. You are sending the certificate to meet proof of language, so that you are waived from taking IELTS.

I am sending my Canadian certificate which is not part of section 11 (because it was more than 5 years back). Also I am not sending transcript, just the copy of certificate.

Give employers details and location. If you're concerned attach an explanation letter explaining that you worked on several clients sites. It really won't matter as this will be for background checks / fraud prevention. As long as you're transparent and honest I don't see anyone having a problem.

Correct. Diploma need only be provided if you don't have a copy of IELTS or equivelant.
