Question about addresses: After I received my PR (after landing), I continued to reside outside Canada for 1.5 years before moving permanently to Canada. During these 1.5 years, I made 3 trips to Canada thereby having physical presence as a PR. I stayed in hotels during these 3 trips - longest...

For passport? I thought it was 2 references. Is it 4?

I will be including full passport scans as part of optional documents

Spreadsheet updated. More precise location (instead of province) would be more helpful.

Not exactly saying that. Just asking why not (file it) since it is tax season now and even if you file your taxes today, you'll get your Notice of Assessment within 2 weeks. It's not like this will significantly delay your citizenship application. Also just noticed that you are following...

You'd just have to answer truthfully to both questions. As long as you've filed taxes for 3 years in your eligibility period, you can apply. But since it is tax season, why don't you want to file 2023 taxes before you apply for citizenship? Just helps keep things clean.

Not an expert at all. Just sharing my thoughts as a layman: If you're on H1B in the US, my understanding is that you only need to file taxes on your US income (correct?). But as a PR in Canada, you are taxed on global income. So in order to be able to file taxes in Canada (and get any credit for...

I'm only doing it from date of PR. Even if you try to enter travel history for the period before date of PR but within the 5 year eligibility period, it won't let you. You will get this error message: "This date must be within a period when you had a valid status as a permanent resident...

April applicants - Once you apply, I'd urge you to provide the above information AND also add it to your profile signature in this forum. If you can keep your signature updated with all future dates as your application progresses (fingerprint, background, test date et al), it will be easier to...

I plan to apply next week. Just waiting for my 2023 Notice of Assessment from the CRA & to also give a little more buffer for physical presence. Will be applying with ~1114 days of presence. Will provide details next week. Joined the WhatsApp group.

Thank you. No, the request was rejected within 24 hours. I'll try submitting again with PR and passport.

What information did you submit with your ATIP request? I provided my UCI number and name, nationality etc but did not attach any documents because they were listed as optional. But my request was closed/rejected.

I became a landed PR in July 2019. But I returned to the US and was mostly in the US between July 2019 and Dec 2020. I permanently moved to Canada in Dec 2020. Between July 2019 and Dec 2020, I visited Canada twice as a PR (~20 days). I didn't hold any visitor visa for Canada. I entered using...

@ParulB Received my PR card today. Status in online portal still says "submitted". Inspect still says "Incomplete application". Still unable to link application to GCKey (it says unable to find application). Less than 3 weeks from online application date to receipt of card. Pretty good...

Will do and would be great if you did the same too. It's likely you'll get yours first because yours is urgent processing. On the GCKey linking - same problem for me too. When you call them, ask them for your application number and try using that to link. Even that didn't help for me but it...

I don't think any of us know. My application (but non-urgent processing) also shows the same thing. But when I called, the rep said there was no rejection and everything looked good. Only time will tell. If you want, give them a call and ask them.

I did enter my UCI. After entering my UCI, when playing the refugee messages, I pressed 3, 3, 0 in quick succession and was put on queue.

I called at 11a ET and was on hold for 21 minutes.

An update fwiw: Spoke to a customer service rep today and she was able to lookup the application and said everything looked good and that she didn't see any rejection (yet). She said my application was in 'production' - meaning the card was in the process of being printed. She was actually...

Thank you @CNP I was able to figure it out. Just had to keep holding without any presses and got transferred to a rep. Unfortunately, it was futile since all IRCC systems are apparently down today and the reps can't access any system.
