@joyshreenathEE I sent it via Canadapost Xpresspost, they told me it was going to be delivered on Monday Mar 6th, was surprised when it got there on the 3rd too.

You're welcome.

Both sides on one page.

Hi, I am also going to apply my citizenship application within couple of days. I had earlier uploaded 2 separate jpg for front and back. But I liked the idea to merge in a single file. Which software you used, as it freely available. I am using pdfsam, but I couldn't find option to have both front and back in the same page of pdf. How can I do that. Kindly suggest.

I have the front and back of my PR card scanned in one PDF file and I used my drivers licence the same way for my second piece of ID.

Use Microsoft Word, drop the photos into the page, save as PDF.

If you use a Mac, preview would work for this

Thanks a lot for reply. But I am windows and android user, hence don't have that facility.

Thanks a lot for reply. But I am windows and android user, hence don't have that facility.

But, if they have given 2 files facility for single ID, then uploading front and back separately as jpgs is not too illogical. Otherwise, why they given max 2 files upload facility for a single piece of ID.

I thought it earlier but later I decided against it, as there will be blank white background (of MS word page); but now I think, it is good
as PDF has the same . And, it will allow me to have 2 images on one page. Thanks a lot. I will go with it.

Hi Guys, I need help with the Tax Filing section as well. I pass the tax filing requirement eligibility for citizenship application of filing at least for 3 years and I have applied for 3 years. But for 2022 i.e 4th year , I am still not ready with docs and havn't filed it yet. So, is it OK that I apply for citizenship, as the tax filing deadline is still very far away, i.e. 30 April.

So, I will leave the fields for tax year 2022 ; Required to file = Yes ; Return Filed = No

Is it OK. Whats you expert guys recommendations on this. I ll be highly thankful for a reply.

Absolutely, I submitted mine without filing 2022 taxes too.

They are giving 4 slots to upload your digital image. They haven't thought this through that well. Foreign IDs also need translation, and are accepted if main ID is passport. Maybe that's why.
