Citizenship Applications after Bill C-6

[Whocares]

awesome that make sense.. thanks buddy

I think the second question should be left empty.

We are all required to fill the taxes in here. Unless for students ( Pre Pr). Once you get a PR and a SIN you must.

This is completely wrong. There are people who don't have a SIN but must file taxes, there are people who aren't PRs and must file taxes. There are people who are PR and don't need to file taxes.

Tax filing requirements have nothing to do with immigration status. Here is the actual list

Try this list right here:
https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/you-have-file-a-return.html

Don't overthink this. Since you filed, the box "required to file" is not that big of a deal. You did file, so you are good.

Spyfy. For q

2) When did you first come to live in Canada?

Should we leave it empty because we were not students we just landed, returned back home then we came back again to live permentaly.

Even if you later went back to home after studying, you first came to live in Canada when you first started studying here. It's basically the first time you had contact with Canadian immigration. So pick that date.

It doesn't say "when did you first come to live in Canada permanently"

Oh sorry, I totally read "we were students" instead of "we were not students". In that case it's a bit tricky, I'm not sure myself which of the two dates you should write down (soft landing date or actual landing date). I would tend towards the soft landing date.

Yeah, you have to put your name on the back side of both. And same for me - they stamped only one of my two photos.

For language requirements do we need sealed copy of transcripts or just the photocopy is enough?

 

[spyfy]

You don't need to log in day trips as it is not absence. Only log in trips where you were absent from the country. I live literally on the border(Niagara Falls) and my day trips range from lunch to supermarket run. If i would have logged in all I dunno how many pages i would have needed. Just supply data which is relevant rather than providing too much data to confuse the CIC officer.

This is wrong. See here in the FAQ of the residency calculator:
https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/rescalc/redir.do?redir=faq#Q5

To quote:
=======
Q5: Do I have to declare day trips to the United States?
A5: Yes. List all absences, even if you come back the same day.

Q6: I travel often to the United States and don't remember the exact dates. What do I do?
A6: To use the physical presence calculator, you must enter exact dates. If you do not know the exact number of days you were absent, try to calculate an estimated number and after you have printed your absence sheet, attach a hand written note to it indicating that the dates are approximate.

Q7: I travel often because of my work (truck driver, employee for an airline company, etc.). Do I have to declare those absences?
A7: Yes. All absences from Canada, regardless of the reason, must be declared.
=======
While day trips do not count as days of absence you still must declare them.

is having an expired passport an issue when applying for citizenship? I never renewed my passport since it expired in 2015.

If your exits out of Canada do NOT exceed 183 days as per old rules, all you needed to do is tick 'No' and do not have to report anything. The form clearly asks your consent to collect these information from CBSA, and it also states that you should not contact CBSA yourself for anything. Again, when the new rules kick in Oct. 11, the physical presence requirement is automatically removed - whatever exit/entry history will be obtained directly from CBSA, so I really don't see why you would be providing what's not asked, and better still wait for the new forms and 'guidelines' for the new rules.

This is wrong. You will have to enter all trips to and from Canada in the new residency calculator.
