Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[Seym]

I kindly request assistance in a few areas. I would greatly appreciate the help.

1. When filling in the residence details, should I list the start date for my oldest residence as the date when I became eligible for residency, or the date I actually moved in? To clarify, my eligibility for residency starts on December 15, 2025, based on my physical presence calculations, while my move-in date at my oldest residence was October 1, 2020. Should I indicate the date range as December 15, 2020, to February 20, 2021, or should I use my original move-in date, which would be from October 1, 2020, to February 20, 2021?

2. For physical presence, since it is an online application, did you attach the printed, scanned, and signed physical presence document?

1) you asked an identical question for work history. The same answer obviously applies.
2) where in the online application does it ask to attach the signed physical presence document? Absolutely nowhere? It means that isn't not needed. Same for every other document you may think of that is not explicitly listed.

As for the question in your second post, IRCC is asking for valid passports, and the older passport wasn't valid for a single day of the eligibility period and is outside the scope of what IRCC asks for. And no need for a LOE, you're free to renew a passport for whatever reason. Just provide what they ask for and don't complicate it.

@Seym, you do have a very rude tone in your replies. I guess I can ask a question for a different section
(of a similar nature) If I have a doubt. If you prefer to be this rude, then refrain from replying to my posts.

During my five-year eligibility period, I held two passports. My earlier passport was issued in June 2014 and expired in June 2024. I was issued a new passport on December 1, 2020, which is valid until November 2030. Could you please confirm whether I should declare both passports or only the currently valid passport? Do I have to submit an LOE for getting the passport renewed before the expiry date?

You should declare both. No reason to do an LOE.
