Hello,
I am planning to apply for citizenship in a few months, so am gathering my documents for it. I wish to clarify a question that is confusing me.
I landed in Canada on 2nd Nov 2018.
I went back to my home country on 13 March 2021
I returned to Canada on 8th Sep 2021
do I need to produce a police certificate for my citizenship application? and would I include my home country address in the addresses where I have lived section?
any clarity would really help me at this stage
Thank you

Here what it said on the Document checklist form: "You must provide a police certificate for each country or territory where you have been present for 183 days or more in a row (since the age of 18) for the four (4) years immediately before the date of your application"

And yes, you need to declare the address of where you live during the eligible duration
