Hi there,

I hope this post finds you well.
I have some questions regarding of the citizenship application as a former protected person who has a PR.
I wonder if anyone knows about the answers.
Thank you very much for your time and information.


as the document lists:

1. "Colour photocopy of all pages in your passports) or travel documents) during your five (5) year eligibility period, including the biographical page which includes: name, photo, date and place of birth, passport/travel document number, issue date and expiration date. If your passport validity was extended, include a photocopy of the page(s) containing the extension stamp(s) If you do not have a travel document or passport, provide an explanation in question 14 of the application form "

As a refugee pathway PR holder, I had never travel outside of Canada since I landed. Moreover, I also got my first country's expired-passport back after getting the PR, can I use this one ?
Because I had never apply travel document and I am not planning to travel anywhere soon.
On the other hand, my first country's passport already expired, do I need to apply a travel document in order to apply citizenship?

2. Submitting the following if any of the following applies to you:
"
Original police certificates or clearances
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

If you are unable to obtain a police certificate, provide an explanation in question 10 b) of the application form"

As I had submitted my first country's police certificate when I applied refugee before, I did not need to submit any police certificate when I applied PR. I have been to Canada over 7 years, do I need to submit a Canadian police certificate to apply Canada citizenship?

Thank you very much.
