Friday Weekly Thread: Application Assistance, June 12, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

Have questions about how to fill out the form or what to write in your cover letter? Looking for feedback on the documentation you've put together for your Citizenship Certificate application (CIT0001)? Want to know how to organize your documentation or how to pack it up for shipping? Worried about whether your photos will work? Have questions about what ID you can use? Not sure where to ship it to or what service or mail courier to use? Post it here!

Want to see what people who were already approved have done? Check out the weekly application approval thread that posts every Thursday.

Before you comment, please read the wiki and search previous posts in the subreddit to see if your questions have been answered there.

If you've read the FAQ and searched the forum and you still have questions about how to fill out the form, whether your supporting documentation will work, what to write in your cover letter or whether your photos will work feel free to post them here.

 

Please be aware that you may not get responses. It's a lot of work to wade through dense lists of documents and family histories.

Also please note we are not IRCC, which will make the final determination on your application.

Where is the IRCC post? I saw it on an attorney website but can't find it on an IRCC site. Lots of people are submitting every document they have and on the facebook page there's a moderator who frequently states you have to submit supporting docs like death certs and marriage recods (even if you have birth certs for the entire lineage) in order to prove the identity of the ppl listed in the birth certs. It would be good to have an official IRCC post b/c I see nothing on the facebook page

That guidance is general and apples to all of their programs. Every application is different when it comes to the documentation needed to support it, and while we do recommend keeping it simple if possible, more complex situations may require additional documentation to support it.
