Hi, recently landed as a PR, and will want to apply for citizenship at earliest opportunity. Is there a good resource somewhere that lists the sort of records I should keep in order to demonstrate residence obligations, etc.?
Preserve the following details throughout:
-Credit card bills
-rental receipts/house ownership paperwork, property tax documents
-utilities bill
-cellphone/landline bills
-all boarding passes while travelling internationally outside Canada (Make a file when you left Canada, when you entered back, where did you go etc etc). When travelling by land, where you went, what was the purpose of trip, date entered USA, name of port of entry, time of entry. When returning back to Canada, name port of entry, date and time of entry etc etc.
-doctors/dentist visits
-don't loose your passports, keep them safe and photocopy or scan the pages as backup to preserve the stamps.
-car insurance papers
-house insurance papers
-employment records like pay stubs, record of employment,
Once you are eligible to apply for citizenship the above mentioned list may help.
