Hi
Quick question plz help
I am planing to submit my citizenship application in end of the month..their is one visa and pair of entry and exit stamps in other language so do we need to send translation at this point?
2. Is it really bad idea to submit extra proves or copies of passport showing stamp at this point? Mean only applying not requested by CiC.
Thanks

Hi
You are requested to send biographical pages/ travel documents .. Translated and affidavit .. Sobe sure to include these because they are in the gather documents checklist .. Ie all pages translated important !
Hope that was helpful

The recent form requires the bio pages only, not the extra pages on your passport.

There has been many threads discussing the rationale or debating the need to include extra documentation. It's all based on personal experience and opinion and none of it is based on solid requirements.
What I can tell you is that you should send the minimum needed as described by the CIC website, any application with less paperwork will be returned to you, application with more paperwork is really... Up to you!

Hope this helps

1- No, it's not requested at this stage.
2-Few xtra documents is not a bad idea but tooooo many documents, it is.
Let me explain why sending passport stamps is useless. When sending copies of passport stamps you are telling CIC "Ok here is the proof I left Canada and came back on the date I declared". This is not what they need. What they're looking for is "the proof you were in Canada for 1095 days or whatever period you declared you were". Maybe you have other stamps you're not showing for now....maybe you have another travel documents you're not declaring....maybe you spent some time overseas and passport was not stamped...So, in my opinion, instead of sending proof you were outside Canada from Mar to May(stamps) one should, instead , send proof they were IN Canada from Jan to Feb and from Jun to Dec.
Hope I made myself clear.

My 2 cents.. Stick to what is written and what the forms say... Human responses are prone to mistakes! We all make mistakes... ;-)
