Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[milakoch]

Hi @armoured Asking directly as I am pretty sure you would know the answer to this one, it might be a dumb question sorry
Among the two questions below which ones should I provide passport, PR, Nexus vs Visas such as Visitor visas, Work visas from past?

#1 Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)?
​

#2 Have you ever held travel documents or passports during your 5-year eligibility period?​

For 1: I would only include citizenship, PR status, and long-term work visas (i.e. > 6 mos.).

2. Passports or rare other travel docs (not visas). Some seem to include Nexus here, which doesn't make sense to me, but certainly won't hurt.

I submitted a web form to IRCC regarding our citizenship application in October 2025. Anyone know generally how long it takes to hear back? Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply. I actually worded my question wrong. What I meant to say is I filled out a web form on the IRCC website. We received an email from IRCC stating we can create an account on the tracker web page to track the status of the citizenship application as it's almost complete. I was wondering how long it take ls for IRCC to reply to a web form request. Also when we try to create an account on the status tracker site it says it will send a one time pass code to the email that was associated to the application, but I never get the code , tried so many times. They obviously have my email correct as I received 2 emails from the already. Any insite as to what's causing this? Thanks again
