I started the preparation of citizenship application two weeks ago, and immediately paid the 630 CAD.
But when I read further, I found it was more complicated than I thought. Especially, the "eligibility period" covers the past 5 years, during which I once lived in China.
The form asks me to list all the details of address and employment information in the past 5 years, and even a police certificate if I lived more than 183 days outside of Canada in the past 4 years! This is such a pain in the ass.
But If I wait for a few months, I won't need a police certificate and my employment and address information will be much simpler. So waiting for a few months before applying might be a good idea.
But I'm worried my application fee might be expired. So here is the question:
How long should I send out my citizenship application after I pay the 630 CAD? Is there a time limit?
Thank you very much!!!
