Hello guys, i am new in this forum, but since 10 years in Canada!
App sent 26th Oct, received 30th. When do you think that i will receive the AOR?

You can go to the spreadsheet to track

you are right, we all gotta get our citizenship sooner or later.. however it is kinda fun sharing our story in a forum... the amount of support from others is splendid!

I was calculating times. I am way above the 1065 mark with around 300 days extra. While using the physical presence calculator, they asked me for my previous status in Canada and dates. Here are my 2 questions

#1) Do I need to give all the dates or just the last 5 years? Like I came as a student but that was more than 5 years ago, do I need to mention that as well?

#2) If the answer to above question is NO, then for my status change to work visa, do I need to provide date from which it was granted or FROM date could just be the date which is 5 years ago?

#3) If the answer to question #1 is Yes, then I imagine if the visa is renewed, I don't need to mention every time a visa is granted as long as I renewed it before expiry.

Last 5 years = eligibility period, so:
1. No
2. Yes (5 years ago)
3. Yes (no need to mention visa renewal)

you may misunderstood me. I mean location doesn't matter for AOR stage, only matters when your file goes to the local office because different offices process at different speed.

Dear Guys,

I become permanent resident on 8 June 2016 and then left Canada on 10th July 2016. Now requirements have changed and I am planning to go back in June 2019. My PR will expire on 08 Jun, 2021.

To complete my 3 years requirement do I need to renew my PR card which will expire in 2021 and to complete 3 years requirement my time period will complete on 8 June, 2022.

Kindly advise in this scenario.

If you don’t plan to leave Canada after your return in 2019 then you don’t need to renew it

Yes you have to tell from the beginning when you landed as student

#2) If the answer to above question is NO, then for my status change to work visa, do I need to provide date from which it was granted or FROM date could just be the date which is 5 years ago?

#3) If the answer to question #1 is Yes, then I imagine if the visa is renewed, I don't need to mention every time a visa is granted as long as I renewed it before expiry.

If there no gap between the visas (TRV) then mention straight away as one visa, Like :
Start date
End Date
OR
No. of years

In short, You have to tell them all of your Canadian history and they will calculate your Physical Presence by formula.

Landing Date
TVR dates
PR start date
Outside living Canada
Citizenship Application date

2. Yes (5 years ago)
3. Yes (no need to mention visa renewal)

Last 5 years = eligibility period, so:
1. No
2. Yes (5 years ago)
3. Yes (no need to mention visa renewal)

These are two different answers

Righto, thanks but my PR will expire in 2021 and how can I apply for citizenship as my PR at that will be expired. Or you mean to say that I can't travel outside Canada once I finally landed after 2019. Really appreciate your advice.

Hi all immigration experts,

Congratulations to all who have already got AOR and good luck for those who are in the process right now.
Friends, I have also few queries regarding Citizenship Application and I hope you guys will help me and I will really appreciate. I will start from this question.

Q.1: In 2016, I worked with an employer in two different provinces. Ontario and Calgary but Employer has office in Ontario only. He issued me two T4s. One for Alberta and one for Ontario. But in both of the T4s, he did write my Ontario's address. Now the question here is, should I mention my Calgary address in application too while this address is not there in my Alberta T4 ?
Secondly, What information IRCC will take from CRA ? They will verify this too where I have been living ?
