Returned Citizenship Application

[grove1995]

I applied last July and it was returned a month later with this note:
'The photocopies of school record for yourself (if applicable) and for your dependent children are missing. See section "Step 1 Gather documents" in the instruction guide.' I earned my degree more than 10 yrs ago from my home country and have not gone to school in Canada, so naturally that clause shouldn't have applied to me. But I photocopied my records, diploma etc. and resent it with a letter stating that I have not attended any school in canada. My application was returned again with the same note. I'm confused, this is what's stated on the guide;
4. School Records

Provide photocopies of all your official school records if applicable for the relevant four (4) year period immediately preceding the date of your application, provide.

In addition, provide photocopies of official school records for any children in Canada or abroad who are or were under the age of 18 in the past four (4) years even if you are not applying for Canadian citizenship on their behalf.

Format: Clear and legible photocopy
I'm not sure what to do, I've complied with all the requirements.

Yes. Their school records where included and there's a note in their application that the papers are complete but since we submitted as a family it is returned.

Beats me then. Give them a call and find out what they want.

kids school records are part of our application not their's so only it is completed.normally new comers apply for citizenship soon after their 3 years of residency so there is a chance to not include the documents from their home country,

yes. i've included the four year record preceding the date of application for my kids. my first application, i didn't include mine since i've got my degree more than 10 years ago and i didn't attend a school in canada. when it was returned, it stated: "the photocopies of school records for yourself (if applicable) and for your dependent children are missing. See section `Step 1 Gather Documents`in the instruction guide. In the instruction guide it states, four years preceding the date of application- that shouldn`t have applied to me since I went to school more than 10yrs ago. But still, I`ve included my school records. When it was returned a second time for the same reason, I don`t know what to include-since I`ve submitted all school records.

Did you mention the word study in the citizenship application question 6F Eduction/Work history like small course or english course ? that will confuse them if you mention the word study and you didn't provide any documents for that study period even its a small course .

what kind of school record did you include for the kids? As far as I know the don't accept the letters alon from the schools they need the report cards which include the attendance , also if you ask for a letter from the kids school ask them to include the attendance record which is an excel sheet generated by the school administration office .

Your child's school record (Report Cards and school Index-enrollment history) to be attached with your application as per documents checklist serial.Your child's school record also to be attached with your child's application separately.

That's not true. School records for minors are required to be attached to the adult application only. If you check the minors application documents check list (at the bottom of the application form for minors) nothing is there to require school records as Lilua says.

Yes, School records for minors are required to be attached to the adult application only.I have just asked whether he has done that. School record also can be used as child identity with child's application.I wanted to know whether he has attached the school record with the ADULT application as proof of residence requirement or he has attached it as child identity.

I attached it together with my application. This is the wording: 4. School Records

Progress report card. I checked the progress report card again, and attendance is not indicated there, So I probably need to ask a letter from the school indicating my kid's attendance record, But doesn't the report card constitute an official record? This is probably what's missing, i can't think of anything else.
