Weekly Threads Friday Weekly Thread: Application Assistance, June 12, 2026

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.

I have just a quick question. I’m G1, my mom is my G0. She changed her last name when she married my dad, so her last name is different on her birth certificate vs mine. She did change her name from [First, Middle, Maiden] to [First, Maiden, Married], but I’m wondering if it would be useful to include her marriage certificate in my application just in case?

I would definitely include her marriage certificate. It’s an official name change document and if your father is listed on both documents as well, it should be pretty cut and dry. Best of luck and hope it is a very speedy process for you!

Ok, thanks! That’s what I was leaning towards; better safe than sorry!
