Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[eninevo]

-No you don’t list addressed you visited as a tourist/business

This is not a travel history question it’s merely asking you to mention the address you resided at in the last 5 years

Thank you Sir for your prompt reply! It was kinda work related plus vacation, hence i was confused but it does not fall under 5 year eligibility period. So got more confused.

Hi
for the online application, I have 2 questions:

1- is there any document checklist?

2- my 3-year PR is at the end of July, can I prepare an application for a couple of weeks sooner? and then submit at the end of July??

Not sure if there is a online document checklist available but you can refer to this link which is for paper based applications and would be similar if not the same https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...der-subsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html

The PR card is a just an entry document required at the time of entering Canada from overseas. With PR card getting expired should not have any bearing for you to apply for citizenship since the PR status in the country will be maintained.
To your point if you can prepare your application yes you can, but only apply when your 1095 days are completed. Imho keep a few weeks above 1095 days before you apply

one more question:

in the beginning of the application, it says :

Are you applying for yourself?

Yes, just for myself as an adult (at least 18 years of age)

Yes, for myself as an adult and for one or more minors (under 18 years of age)

No, I’m applying for one or more minors (under 18 years of age)

---

I am applying as a couple (my wife and I) - which option should I choose?
and do I need 2 separate applications?

Our son is a Candian citizen and I his father and mother are Indian citizens. We went to Canada on tourist visa, then our son was born there, after 2 months of his birth, we brought him to India. Today our son is 4 years old. Do we have to take my son to Canada once so that his citizenship doesn't matter

Montreal has a peculiar way where they allow you to collect the citizenship certificate in-person. If you dont they mail it. Most of the experience shared in forum was of in person collection.

Thank you so much for your advice! Do you know when they mail it, they told after 4-6 weeks? If you have some experiences, I appreciate as it is very expensive to book a flight for $800 just to take a certificate.

You should have it with you in 4-6 weeks or before.
