Hey guys
Although I am still 2 yrs or slightly less from being able to apply for my citizenship...it just struck me today that I have no idea what kind of proof I need of me being here to apply in the future!
Do I need to keep a paper trail of utility bills, bank statements, pay stubs etc??
Any insight to what kind of things I should maybe start doing/holding on to would be appreciated!!

On the application you are required to list all nights you have spent outside Canada
It is a lot easier to track them as you go than try to remember 3 years down the line

Well yes I kind of did presume that...never any harm in double checking though, is there?
