January 2019 - Citizenship Application

[Zmaqsood]

Blimey I hope it's not 2-3 months! From reading around here 4-6 weeks seems more common at present?

That will I imagine vary based on things like location and type of application though.

That is not correct avg is 60-70 days. 4-6 weeks is bit exagerated

Doh. I admit I didn’t look into it in depth so bow to your better judgment. Maybe in March then.

A friend got their confirmation today. Applied last April.

Birth certificate is a must.

Hello Everyone!

I am applying for my Citizenship in this month. I have some questions.

I came here on spouse sponsorship and got PR when I landed on January 20th 2016. Since then it's 3 years and I didn't left Canada.

My eligibility period is 2014-01-28 to 2019-01-28

The questions are:

10 a. Where have you lived during your eligibility period? Please list all address inside and outside of Canada. Your address must cover your entire eligibility period. If there are gaps or missing periods your application will be returned.

In 2014 and 2015 I was in UAE and came to Canada in 2016 and didn't left since coming here. Do I need to list 2014 and 2015 address that I was in UAE?

10 b. In the past (4) years were you in another country or territory other than Canada for total of 183 days?

Do I need to enter UAE address as I was there in 2015 and came here in 2016 or they are just concern that if I live for 183 days outside Canada, after coming to Canada or after getting my PR?

11. Tell us what were you doing during your eligibility period?

Do I need to tell about my employment from 2016 when I got PR on landing or before that when I was in Dubai?

12. Tell us when you filled your Tax in last 5 years ( Required to file YES or NO)

Nobody told me to file the tax but I have filled my taxes since I came here. Should I click Required to files Yes or No

15. Language Evidence

When I came in 2016 I went to Center for Training & Education to check my CLB score. I have assessment report which was for placement purpose. I got marks above 6. Can I show that as a proof?

Last question: I didn't leave Canada since I came here in 2016. Do I need Police Certificate from UAE?

Thank you in advance.

If a person gets PR on say 1-SEPT 2015 and applies for Citizenship in 1-JAN 2019 then the eligibility period would be 1-JAN-2014 to 1-JAN-2019. In this case:
- Are you certain about the addresses that you stayed before becoming PR needs to be included too? In that case even the travel to Canada for landing needs to be covered?
- This means that even a Police Clearance certificate from your home country would be needed since one may have been more than 183 days out of Canada before doing the first landing? Are we sure about this?
- Also in this case do we need to answer YES for 9 (c) since it says did you live outside of Canada during the eligibility period? And if its a YES then we need to fill CIT 0177 too?

Yes sure about address
I might have misunderstood where you r comming from
Is it about the eligibility period ?

It's on the form 'yellow box' with explanations
encouraging to write more to avoid miscalculations

Comming to police certificate you already have one right , when applying for PR? does it have a expiry date ? Date range ? As long as police certificate is valid u don't need new one for citizenship.

Hope iam answering

I have added some more context:
If a person gets PR/Landed on say 1-SEPT 2015 and applies for Citizenship in 1-JAN 2019 then the eligibility period would be 1-JAN-2014 to 1-JAN-2019. In this case:

- Also in this case do we need to answer YES for 9 (c) since it says did you live outside of Canada during the eligibility period? And if its a YES then we need to fill CIT 0177 too?
- Does the job status also needs to be reflective of this? Meaning job status between 1-JAN-2014 and 30-AUG-2015 at Home country?

Do I also need a police certificate? My eglibity period is from 2014. I applied for PR in 2015 and came here in 2016. Since then I didn’t leave Canada.

I don’t have any copy of the police certificate as I give the original when my PR filing.

Yes you need all addresses job statuses from UAE from 2014 to 2015 and and canada 2015 from the date/month of landing till now

For Police certificate a new one is needed if you dont have the valid orginal, since cic asks for 183 days in past 4 yrs from sign date.

CIT0177 is for travels after pr ie 'relavent period' not eligibility period
Not for the ones before pr

In simple terms
Eligibility period-5yrs past (address &jobs)
Police check -4yrs past (outside country)
Relavent period -Days after pr
