Hi everyone,
I’m preparing to apply for Canadian citizenship in 2025. I want to get some real feedback from people who have similar cases or have seen this happen.
My situation:
I'm now over 1097 days with no travel outside and my passport expired and I didn’t renew it because I didn’t need to travel.
I’m applying with my spouse and child we live together as a family.
I’ve been self-employed/unemployed "Artist" for the entire 1097 so I don’t have pay stubs or employer letters.
The only direct proof of my daily presence is my bank statements, which show regular local spending and deposits.
Has anyone in a similar situation been asked for an RQ or extra proof .
Did an RQ delay your file a lot?
Any practical advice for what extra proof I should prepare now to make my application stronger?
