No. Just give your SIN nuMber and they will be the one to check it on the CRA to verify your Filing of Tax

@Hamid khan, Thank you for opening this thread. I have been reading QAs in this forum for the past 8 months and getting ready to file my citizenship application by end of February and Q13 is my biggest headache and I don't want to mess it up. I have been living and working as a full time employee in a reputed international firm in Toronto for the last 4 years. Filed my taxes and no problem there proving my physical presence in Canada. (1300 days so far). I know how critical it is to file an accurate application and how it will spare you a lot of ordeal in future.
Here is my question that I want advice from people who have experience:

I am holding temporary immigration status in Kuwait since I was born and I want to fill question 13 as accurate as possible. However, I don’t have my passports prior to 1990 and during my childhood I did not have a passport and only was as accompany in my mother`s passport. So I do not have the details of (date obtained/ end date) of my “family temporary residency” between 1978-1990 and after 2000 when I changed my family residency to temporary work visa in Kuwait I have been renewing it on a yearly basis which means 18 separate entry + years prior to 2000 in question 13.

Any suggestion on what is the best way for me to fill question 13?

I have provided old SIN number by-mistake instead of new one. I'll have my file returned or I can update that some how?
Pls suggest..

Hello Everyone,
I mailed my application on Feb 14th and it was delivered on Feb 16th, 2018.

I did not submit form CIT 0177 since it was not applicable to time I spent outside Canada during by eligibility period. I belive it's applicable to Crown Servants or their spouses.

Any input on this matter?

Thanks in advance!!!

That sounds good to me. Thanks

Edmonton and Calgary are one of the fastest CPCs in Canada. My guess would be within 5-6 months, you should have your oath. Of course, this is assuming your application is routine (no RQ).

I thought we all we have to send our applications to one place that shows on the instructions... Sydney, NS. I don’t understand about how Edmonton and Calgary is the fastest CPCs? Lol I don’t understand how this whole thing works.

Sydney is just a sorting center. Your file will be processed at a CPC near your postal code.

Yea I think all Citizenship applications are processed in Sydney, NS. Maybe depending on which city you live in the waiting time for the test and oath will be slower or faster.

They probably do the initial checks and then your local CPC takes over.

Yes, they do basic completeness checks. Then file is transferred to a local CPC.
