https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/you-have-file-a-return.html explains who has to file a return. (Note that that's for the current tax years; rules may have been slightly different in the past, so it may be prudent to do some more...

Some offices use email, some mail. So it depends. The timing is difficult to predict. It depends on where you live, which office processes your file, which officer processes your file, and sometimes on how long it takes for partner agencies to do their checks. You can get a bit of an idea by...

I thought you were one of the lucky ones. Well, hopefully someone who has an invitation can enlighten us.

Do they ask for anything other than the invitation, ID, PR card, and COPR?

Yes, you'll get the certificate after you take the oath. You'll have to wait two business days before you go apply for a passport. (Make sure to take all the documents they tell you to bring. They'll take your PR card and may update your COPR. If you don't bring the documents they ask, they may...

I don't know what's your best course of action. I guess you could get in touch with your province, to see if they can correct your DL and health card (as those don't match your passport or your PR card). That way you'd have at least the PR card and DL that match, with the passport the odd one...

If you used the IELTS for immigration purposes then you sent the original to IRCC for your PR application. They are aware of this, so should be okay with you bringing in a photocopy. There is a good chance, as razerblade mentioned, that the officer won't even ask to see any proof if they notice...

This seems to be a broken bit in the application form. You have to answer "yes" to the question if you lived outside of Canada. Not doing so would be wrong. The application says to include that extra form, so you should include it (otherwise your application may be returned, because it is...

I don't quite understand your situation. I don't know which document has which name(s) on it. That said, if your passport has your name in the given name field and the surname field is blank, and on your PR card that is reversed (i.e. the surname field contains your name and the given name...

That's just fine. Employment is not a requirement for citizenship. People have become citizens with longer periods of unemployment. It happens. You do need to list that period on the application (there should be no gaps in the timeline); you'd just indicate "unemployed", give the relevant...

The PR card does not count as ID. It is a status document, not an identity document. 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 explains what...

Impossible to say. For some people it seems to complete quite quickly, for others it takes multiple months.

Short answer: there's no need to even think about waivers, as it is possible to apply for citizenship for the child you describe in your example. They do not need to have accumulated 1095 physical presence days, and it is extremely unlikely there are "unfulfilled conditions" related to that...

Some questions are asked to check that you know the language. Other questions are asked to establish that your claims are truthful, like establishing that you live where you claim to live. There have been cases of people who claimed residence at a location where they never lived. Such questions...

I assume many people send it as part of the passports/travel documents item on the list. (I included mine when I made copies of the biographical pages of my passports; there didn't seem to be a downside to including it) A PR card is (usually) not accepted as an identity document by IRCC...

Depends on the state of your application. If all background checks are complete it may have changed by tomorrow, and likely will change within a week. If any of the checks are still in process it can take weeks to months.

1) Yes. 2) I don't know how they manage the citizenship ceremony queue, but some people being invited before others seems normal. 3) Ottawa sends letters. They may at some point switch to email, but so far they send letters. 4) Yes (on some very rare occasions ecas doesn't update but the...

Yes. (If she wants to refresh/improve her English taking ESL classes can be worthwhile, of course, but there's no need to do that in order to have proof to give to IRCC. For that purpose the degree and letter are sufficient.)

Yes, that's possible. But note that there's multiple people and organisations involved, so the difference in processing can be caused by any of those. There are many possible reasons beyond that where a tiny difference in the application (different name, slightly different travel history...

Yeah, I expect there's some of that. Many people on the forum have requested their CBSA records. It does not seem to impact processing at all. That said, I expect it's also to make it clear to people who do not give permission to IRCC to access CBSA records (and instead want to provide the...
