the most common mistakes and how to fix them
Missing of Incorrect information in the Citizenship application forms:
The application process has a few forms that are mandatory as part of the application for Canadian citizenship. There is an application for Canadian citizenship form and a physical presence calculator, both of which need to have the same application date in order to be accepted. The document checklist also needs to be included in the application. The application asks for information on a person's presence in Canada for the last five years, whether they've filed taxes, their nationalities, and other information that will help the government to determine your eligibility. It is important that this information be accurate when filing the application. If you submit the application with a major error in the form, such as applying from outside of Canada, or with the incorrect physical presence information, sometimes it's prudent to withdraw the application. In other instances, minor issues on the forms can be fixed by submitting an amendment to IRCC via webform.
Missing or incorrect documents

You should include in the application two pieces of government-issued ID, passports issued to you in the last five years, as well as proof of your knowledge of English or French. You may also need to include police certificates if you've lived elsewhere in the last five years, or if you have had a name change. Lastly, you'll need to include your citizenship photos and government application fees.
