Application for citizenship forms

Citizenship
1

Good day all,

In the process of applying for Canada citizenship for which I have started filling the online provided, originally savable/editable PDF forms marked with “CIT 0002 (06-2017) E”, only to realize today that there have been another/new version marked: “CIT 0002 (08-2017) E” and now its no longer savable/editable but must be filled and printed at once, questions:

  1. Aren’t they identically the same?
  2. Since they’re the same, couldn’t I continue on using the the older version “CIT 0002 (06-2017) E”, print and submit it once complete?
  3. There are conflicting ID photos requirements; “The frame size must be at least 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8″ x 1 3/4″)” and “The frame size must be 50 mm x 70 mm (2″ x 2 ¾″).”, which is the current/correct one?

Any input you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
G.

Here is an excerpt,

We also suggest that you contact the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Client Support Call Centre directly for some information specific to your application.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

I can’t get the latest (10-2017) application for Canadian Citizenship [Form CIT 0002] to open or download from IRCC website except the one for minors [CIT 0003]. For that matters can’t get hold of any new app consistent with the revised citizenship rules. just wondering is it just me or everyone has this problem. On top of it IRCC help center isn’t picking up calls. Any help would be appreciated!!

P.S. Just so you know I have the latest adobe reader so that doesn’t look like a problem I mean I have exhausted all my options so far…

Hi, I submitted my application for the Citizenship on October,16 and since that date I heard nothing for the CIC.

My question is: when I should get the application number? should I receive it by mail or by email?

thank you.
