I am completing the citizenship application online. For the following question: "Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status, and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada (e.g. your country of birth)
Check either yes or no.
If you check yes, complete the chart.
Tell us which countries you have held status in, and exactly what status you held or currently hold (student, employment/worker, refugee/protected person, permanent resident or citizen).
Date you obtained each status(YYYY-MM-DD)
End date if no longer valid, if applicable (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave blank if you currently hold this status"
I have the following two questions:
1. I traveled to several countries on visas. For the "date you obtained each status" and "end date", do I need to provide:
dates for which each visa was valid (for instance 5 years) OR
exact dates during which I visited a country (10 days) although the visa is valid for 5 years
2. Do I only need to provide information about immigration status for:
the 5-year eligibility period only OR
for my entire life?
Do I need to provide scans of visas and entry/exit stamps as well?
It'll be super helpful if you can clarify and reconfirm
For question 13, "Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status, and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada (e.g. your country of birth)" for Date you obtained each status(YYYY-MM-DD) and end date, do we need to provide dates for which each visa was valid (student, visitor etc.) or dates during which we were in another country?

Im a canadian PR in process of filling out citizenship application. I also applied foor Green Card in USA through consular processing. I have not yet been granted Green card and the process may take 1.5 years.
for the question >> "Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status, and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada (e.g. your country of birth)"
In my case can anyone suggest what should i answer for the above question as i don't yet have a PR status in GC. May or may not get the GC during citizenship processing.

Do we need to include Work Visas that were not used? My company processed an employment visa for a South east asian country, which I did not eventually use. Do we have to mention in "History of immigration and citizenship status"?
Honestly I cannot even find a copy of this old work permit from 2015.

I'm in the process of closing out our application ( 4 applicants ) and I had a couple of questions :
1. Signing of forms - Are we only required to sign the main application form for each applicant? Or do we need to also sign the online calculator + the document checklist.
2. For children (aged 11 and 8) is there any requirement to submit records from the school? For their 2 Identity proof docs, was planning to submit (a) Passport (b) OHIP
I am in the process of submitting Canadian Citizenship application form for all my family members( 4Nos), I have couple of questions

2. In Minor application form both the parents should sign at the end of the application form or anyone should sign, please clarify this too.

Are you referring to this? Seems like they only need the bio page for the application, not all the pages with visas stamped. Copied below from the online application.
List all of your travel documents or passports covering your 5-year eligibility period.
If there are any gaps between documents, provide an explanation.
You will be asked to show us the original documents during the processing of your application.
Do you have the bio page?
Yes
No
The bio page(s) has your information (for example, name, photo and date of birth).
If your document has more than 1 bio page, upload them all as 1 file.
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create login for online application for citizenship, however from many days I am receiving the same message
"Our system is down. Try again later."
Anyone has any idea about this issue and what can I do?
On old tracker ecas it shows only we have sent you AOR and discovery Canada book but on new tracker it shows in progress . Does it has to show in process on old tracker then it will be considered as the application is in process or when the new trackers shows all in progress that's enough?

1. I have to submit the photocopy of all the pages of passport including visa stamped pages, exit and entry pages, blank pages too or only front and back pages of the passport is enough, please anyone clarify this. Yes, you have to send ALL pages of ALL passports used during the 5-year eligibility period, whether expired or not. This is a new requirement that came into effect in June 2021. If you don’t send it, they will return your application.
2. In Minor application form both the parents should sign at the end of the application form or anyone should sign, please clarify this too. Just one parent should sign. Usually it would be the parent applying together with the minor, but since all of you are applying together, it can be any parent.
I have the following status update from Immigration Canada in my online account regarding my Citizenship application:
"You've been scheduled to attend your citizenship ceremony on XXX
Follow the instructions we sent to you for information on:
how to attend the ceremony
what documents you have to present"
It's been 4 months since I've received this status update, but I haven't gotten any instructions either in my email or my mail. To those who have gone through this part of the process already, how many days/weeks/months before your citizenship ceremony did you receive your instructions?
