Some of these questions have been answered recently on the forum; the search function can help you find those answers.


re: 9b: You say here you had a work permit, i.e. you had a temporary resident status, so the answer would be yes, and then you'd need to enter the appropriate dates and descriptor in the table. The guide at https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-0002-application-canadian-citizenship-under-subsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html may help you.

re: 9c: Did you leave for a vacation (or family visit) or did you leave to go reside elsewhere? Vacation is not what they are talking about in this question. (If you did move elsewhere for 26 days: complete form CIT0177 by entering "N/A" in both categories, sign and date it. Add a note saying you were not a crown servant, but completed the CIT0177 for completeness sake).

re: 15: If you completed the college program (i.e. you earned a diploma/certificate/...) you can use the transcript. If you did not complete the program then this may not be considered sufficient proof.

Question 15 : As per language evidence concerned i studied in Canada for 2 years, if i m not wrong i just can submit my college transcript . correct me if i am wrong.

Question 9B : You will have to tick "yes" under this. They are not asking details about whether it was study or work in this question. In Q10 & 11, you will have to fill details but only covering your eligibility period. So from 2013-03-08, if you were on Open work permit; mention that in Q11. Also mention your work address if you were working or home address if you were unemployed.
Question 9 C : It depends on for what purpose you left Canada in 2014. If it is only visiting friends and family and you still maintained your home in Canada then should not count as living outside Canada. If it is as crown servant then you have to fill CIT0177. If not crown servant then there are two options, don't fill CIT0177 and just attach explanation letter with your actual reason of going out of Canada. Or fill CIT0177 and mention that it is not applicable because I was not crown servant. Tick "yes" if you were actually living (and not visiting) outside Canada for 26 days.
Question 15 : Yes you can submit degree certificate or transcript. If it is from Canada then it's better. You don't have to prove that language of instruction was English.

26 days of vacation outside is not considered as living outside Canada. Answer 'No' to question 9 c

You would have anyhow declared 26 days as abscence in Physical presence calculator

You mean the envelope arrived there yesterday?

You will now have to wait for IRCC in Sydney to review your application, to make sure it is complete. This takes a while (it's common for that to take 40-50 days, but be aware that it can take longer). Once that step has been completed you will receive an email (assuming you entered one on your application form), which is the "acknowledgement of receipt" (AOR).

About 24-48h after you receive that email you will be able to check your application status online, at https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/introduction.do?app=ecas

Assuming all goes well: after the AOR is completed your file will be sent to the local office.
Once they start processing your file the status will change to "In Process". You will not get a notification for this, but can see it in the online system.
The local office will send you an invitation for the test and interview. Once that is complete and the background checks are done the status will change to "decision made", and a while later you'll receive an invitation to a citizenship ceremony.
Those invitations can be sent by either letter or email, depending on your local office. They will not use both, though. Keep an eye on your spam folder, as sometimes their mails end up there.

Note that at any time up until "decision made" IRCC can request additional information, in which case you'll see an entry in the online system telling you that a letter has been sent outlining what you're to provide.

IRCC doesn't commit to anything more specific than that they aim to complete the whole process within 12 months (for something like 80 or 90% of applications). People on the forum keep track of processing times using a spreadsheet, so you can have a look at that to find out how long it tends to take for people in Mississauga to reach each of those steps.
