• applied for permanent residence from within or outside Canada,
• applied for a permanent resident card (replacement or renewal),
• applied for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship),
• applied for Canadian citizenship for a person adopted by a Canadian citizen (on or after January 1, 1947),
• applied for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship),
• applied to renounce Canadian citizenship or
• applied to resume Canadian citizenship.
