Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[MaplePath2026]

She just needs to comply with tax requirements for 3 years. If she had no income and as such didn't need to file tax, she can put "no" for both need to file and filed for a given year and it will still count.

Thank you.

I have another query regarding the PCC requirement. Does she need to submit a PCC from India if she moved to Canada before turning 18 years old?

My second question is regarding adult applicants. Can an adult submit the Citizenship application without the PCC initially and provide it later during the processing stage? Currently, the PCC processing time from India is approximately 10 weeks. Instead of waiting for the PCC, would it be possible to proceed with the citizenship application now and submit the PCC later when available?

this is a very common problem. CBSA entries alone are not enough to prove the legal status. Clearly, IRCC could not verify your status. You have 2 options: 1. Reapply once you have enough days on PR alone 2. Send it again with the same info. If accepted, in all likelihood, your file will become non-routine.

I am not a lawyer and information I am sharing is based on information available publicly.

Thank you for your reply. I have decided to withdraw and apply again in the fall. When i do that, on physical presence I still need to enter the days before PR even though i have more than 1095 days after the PR, right?

Every single day of physical presence needs to be entered, so yes.

That is correct. Everything has to be entered. Just that ircc will not use it to count towards your physical presence and will use only pr days for that purpose.

I have a question regarding the address history section in the Citizenship application.

For example, if I lived at one address from May 5, 2022 to June 15, 2023, should the next address start from June 15, 2023 or June 16, 2023?

I noticed that some YouTube videos explain it differently, so I would like to know which one is correct.

I do not think anyone cares remotely enough about one day difference in this context, as long as they are addresses within the same country. One could argue either approach, I would simply choose one of those and stick to that.

Overlaps are fine, but no gaps. What’s important is that the dates you enter match the dates you’ve used in any previous visa or PR applications. Consistency is key — if you previously used overlapping dates, use the same pattern here.
