Inside My CIT 0001 Application Package | What I Included & Why | Canadian Citizenship by Descent

In this video, I walk through how I assembled and organized my paper Proof of Canadian Citizenship application package. I’ll show you: • How I structured my application packet • The documents I included • Optional items I chose to add • How I organized my lineage documents • My generational map/family tree setup • What I would do differently if I had to do it again This video is based entirely on my personal experience as an applicant applying for Canadian citizenship by descent. I am not a lawyer, immigration consultant, or advisor, and this video is not legal advice. Immigration requirements and policies can change over time, so always review the most current information directly on the IRCC website before submitting your application. I have received an AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt) letter from IRCC. My application is still processing (it may be 6 to 12+ month wait until a final decision is made). I wanted to create this video because I know it can sometimes be difficult to find realistic examples showing how other applicants organized their paperwork and supporting documents. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and supporting this channel! It means a lot to me, thank you! **Note: IRCC UPDATED THE APPLICATION GUIDE and the DOCUMENT CHECKLIST.
