Thank you so much! I think I should be fine, since my extended study permit was still valid till March 2022, and I applied for my PGWP in February 2022.

Agreed. Sounds like all is in order. Good luck!

But really appreciate your thoughtful response!

One last quick question- for the Travel documents or passports section, where they ask "* Have you ever held travel documents or passports during your 5-year eligibility period?" - should I include the PR card as a travel doc? or the passport should be sufficient?

No, a PR card is not a travel document. The TLDR is that a PR card can't be used for travel to other countries, so it doesn't count.

See https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...d-renewal-pr-travel-document-question.851077/ for a recent confirmation and https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...pr-card-a-travel-document.524526/post-6453772 / https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...pr-card-a-travel-document.524526/post-6513242 for an older but more detailed explanation.

I was on work permit prior to getting PR so my physical presence in canada is a combination of both “time on work permit”(half day counted) and PR. Do we need to submit any documents as Proof of Physical Presence for citizenship application ? I did not see anywhere in application that any document needs to be submitted so wanted to confirm…

Same case as mine. I did not submit any such proof either. Everything is tied to UCI. No need of extra documentation. If they need anything they will request it later.

Thank you so much for your quick response. At what stage of the citizenship application you are at ? Did IRCC request you any documents at any stage ?
