Some yes and some no. Some people made ill-advised decisions, others didn't. I'm pretty confident my application is fine & I have a complete copy which I've looked over several times.
Well lets hope it works out for everyone ..

You don't need to write the word present. If you do 2017-10 and your applying in October they will get it. If they were being precise they would have asked for the day also.
hmm if you click on it, the date option is there.It could be correct for the till present that you don't need to mention the day but for other employment/or unemployment period I think you need to give dates and not only months.

That's why you choose a date. It's simple - nothing to worry or think about.

There is no way you could have been able to put the days because all they allow is just YYYY/MM

Have you been ordered by CBSA to leave Canada because of your PR status is in question? this is usually because you didn't fulfill residency requirement for pr

Hello jsm0085 & all :

Under travel documents table I had entered all passports data & nexus card data during eligibility period. Realized after sending application that I forgot to mention Usa B2 visa in that table. I went to Usa multiple times using that visa each time couple of days. I’m little worried I should have entered B2 visa in that table? Is there any thing I can do now by sending a letter with the table info filled & B2 visa photo copy attached ? All I was thinking , passport is critical and nexus, B2 visa etc not required to enter. Donno I did right or wrong .

Any thoughts , suggestions ....

I'm pretty sure travel documents refer to Passports or other immigration-according documents. I don't believe you have to mention visas in the section you're referring to.

Reading that some people took the extra precaution of writing their name on the back of the submitted photos. Was this a requirement? If yes, where is it stated? I remember doing this back when I did my PR but I didn't see it in the Guidelines document.

Also, someone mentioned submitting individual payment receipts if multiple people applying from the same household. I don't believe that is the case, or is it? Say my spouse and I are applying, why can't we pay $630x2 i.e. $1260 in one payment and simply overlay the receipt in our applications (submitted in one envelope)?

I didn't mention my US visa either. I always thought a VISA is a not a travel document. Found this extract after reading your post:

"A citizen of a foreign country who seeks to enter the United States generally must first obtain a U.S. visa, which is placed in the traveler's passport, a travel document issued by the traveler's country of citizenship."

Should be fine as long as it is mentioned that we traveled to US on the calculator. They can pull up the entire history with just the passport number.
