    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    The only thing that matters is when you left actually left Canada and when you actually entered Canada. As such, it doesn't matter if the flight took 30 minutes or 3 days, and it doesn't matter what dates where printed on your plane tickets. Also, IRCC agents, as is everyone, are aware that an...

    Explanation of Address History Dates.. Urgent !!

    It doesn't matter which country "takes" that day of transit. Pick Canada or India for that and move on.

    Explanation of Address History Dates.. Urgent !!

    Are you speaking here about your address history? That question asks for days, not only months and years? If so, it's fine if you're a day or 2 off compared to reality to adjust to the system limitation, IRCC doesn't care really, as long as your physical presence history is precise.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Both the question of how things work VS how people perceive things work in their own personal situation are valuable, albeit maybe "contradictory". Yep, there is relative transparency and knowledge about how the whole process works, but that knowledge feels more academic and theoretical at this...

    Residence and Work/School Sections in Online Citizenship Applicatiion

    Keep it simple and avoid unnecessary documents, including LOE for mundane stuff. IRCC's only goal with work history is to assess physical presence. Minor discrepancies (with an application they probably won't cross-check) are fine as long as your physical presence is both precise and with...

    Residence and Work/School Sections in Online Citizenship Applicatiion

    1) Doesn't really matter, but if I had to pick something, it would be the precise answer, the parents address for that summer. 2) Students are not unemployed. 1 single entry for the whole period spent in university (or more than one if, say, bachelor and master, or master and PhD...), and...

    Help Needed: Confusion on PR Date vs. Entry Date for Citizenship Application

    Yep. Put January 13 as the day you came back as a PR, and add another trip from January 13 to 18. This will give you credit for a day of physical presence you don't deserve, explain in the explanation letter what you did and why.

    Help Needed: Confusion on PR Date vs. Entry Date for Citizenship Application

    In situations like this, you can put what satisfies the system (like you could add a trip to Canada on 13, and another trip leaving the country on 13 again), add an explanation letter, and have a buffer of days to cover for the ones the system made you claim but we're not days of physical...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Congrats! Happy for you. Good to see that IRCC is very quick at wrapping up things once CSIS is done sleeping on applications.

    Domestic Passport

    All internal passports aren't needed. Doesn't matter if they're plastic or not, we're submitted during PR application or not. Provide the documents you can travel with only.

    request for document

    That's administration, it happens. 45 days isn't much, and definitely doesn't make you risk having to wait more than the average processing time, which should be your realistic expectation. And if for some reason, your application takes more time, it won't be for these docs if you provided all...

    August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    This usually happens when security is completed, and the IRCC agent looking at your file due to this realises that criminality expired. Your criminality should be cleared very soon and everything else will follow. You're very close to the finish line now! :)

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    It only means that CBSA censored that part of the notes before sending it. Nothing more to it.

    2 years application but still stuck

    You're stuck in a very long security check. It unfortunately happens to a sizable minority of applicants. There's a thread here for 2023 applicants in the same situation : https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/2023-citizenship-applications.861305/

    Citizenship Application

    Your work permit automatically expired when you got your PR, regardless of the date printed in the document. Just put the last day before your PR to satisfy the system and move on.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I'm not sure why you'd post this in a group of 2023 applicants, but to answer your question : if it's not obvious that you studied in English, and it may not be if your bachelor/master was from your country of origin, you may need a letter from the registrar of your university stating that the...

    Visitor Visa never used- Directly landed on PR

    No will do. That question is for the the physical presence requirement, and she has no physical presence to ask for. If you feel like no isn't representative of the "true situation", put it there anyway as that allows to complete filing that part of the application, and add a short explanation...
