Not sure for other locations, but for BLS Surrey, BC we did not had to provide any notarized docs. All were just photocopies plus the original Indian passports and Canada landing paper. For me, I had to submit one notarized affidavit for a last name truncation which I did for $20. In Vancouver...

If you had submitted ielts during your PR application, and if you don't have a copy now, don't worry. You can make a ATIP request for the PR application files and you will get a copy of the entire thing including ielts copy. You can attach it for the citizenship application and CIC will not ask...

I received my OCI yesterday and posting my entire timeline if it helps someone. Took around 1.5 months from application to delivery back to my Home. Received the OCI, old Indian Passport and the original Landing papers. I could have received it a few days earlier, if it was not for December...

eVisa is quickest (online); but with a validity of 30 days only. OCI will take 2 months; but the Canadian passport is not required to be submitted. Copies will be accepted. If you dont have the 2 months time, apply for an Indian tourist visa which will take 2 weeks. but it has a validity of...

She printed it off here and send it along with the application. Later he mailed the original to Canada and she went for the test with the original. For...

No..in that case, PCC is not required. I remember a similar scenario for one of my friends and was processed without any further docs required.

For my wife, she submitted the following 2 docs: 1. Masters Degree (Genetics) 2. Letter from university stating that medium of instruction was English. Did not provide any mark-list or transcripts. The letter from university was in their official letterhead; but was not sealed. IRCC accepted...

Yes, one is enough and mandatory. Even if you put on both photos, no issues.

Should not be an issue. For my minor daughter, I had send copies of passport, COPR, birth certificate and PR as support documentation and everything processed smoothly.

When you mentioned that you never applied for a PR card, I guess you meant to say it was not "renewed" yet. You may be having the expired PR card with you and ideally you should give a good cover letter detailing these aspects.

There is no limit in Surrey office. In fact, they don't check the guests as to whom they came to witness the citizenship ceremony.
