December 2018 - Citizenship Applications

[Zmaqsood]

Reference to question

10(b) In the past four (4) years, were you in another country (other than Canada) for a total of 183 days or more

In my case I landed in Canada in Dec 2015 and have not left Canada since then and I completed my eligibility period in Dec 2018.

In the above question 10 (b) they are asking for past 4 years so will I have to provide police certificate for Dec 2014 to Dec 2015 period when I was not in Canada (before my landing).

Please clarify it seems odd that they want police certificate for a period which is before my landing.

Ans is yes you will have to provide police certificate for that period

This is concerning. I was worried about this section, so I called the center, and the gentleman, said not needed in my wife's case which is similar to aakz's. We already sent the application in, so holding tight now.

Hey Guys,

I am have a question regarding list of addresses and address on TAX ASSESSMENT.

A brief background.
I moved to Toronto from Montreal end of last year with job hunting in mind. I found a temporary place but I did not change the address. Year end and needed to file tax for 2017. I filed a tax with Montreal address as I was not sure whether I stay in Toronto or not. Finally around March, I got a job and decided to live in Toronto and then changed the address.

Now my issue is, my TAX Assessment shows Montreal address as I filed tax in Quebec, however my list of living address shows Toronto address, is there a problem having inconsistent in the addresses?

Though, it might not be serious, as it is with in Canada for residency, does it have a problem? If yes, is there any suggestions to work around?

When IRCC requests information from RCA, what sorts of information they ask? As per Citizenship rule, we should file taxes. Do they just ask whether the person files taxes or not or all history of address and incomes. If they ask addresses, one address does not align with list of addresses.

I am also considering to write a cover letter explaining the tax file situation, however I don't want to open more doors for questionings or RQ forms to fill. What happens if there are overlaps of addresses? I might not able to prove my residency in Montreal when I was in Toronto.

Expert's advices are appreciated. My forms are ready -- desperate to send documents. Residency does are well over 1450 days.

Thanks.

My sons and I have completed the 1095 days stay requirement but my wife has not completed 1095 days yet.

So is it alright if we (myself and sons) apply for citizenship now and submit my wife's application later after 4 months when she completes her stay requirements.

Please advise.

Thanks.

It should be fine, help on question 6 says: "If you used any other names other than the one being requested in your grant of citizenship application, print them in the chart.". No need to print there any names if you haven't changed it.

Just wondering, if I should mention my nick name I am usually known by in my family but was never used in any of the official documents (e.g., my birth certificate, my passport etc. nowhere I have used this nick name but my birth name).
