We are filling out my husband's citizenship app. and there is a section which refers to his status in Canada. This may sound stupid, but I have no idea how to properly fill out that field. He came here on a tourist visa which was valid for 6 mo. Prior to its expiry, we submitted a PR app and an open work permit app. Neither was approved before his tourist visa expired, therefore I am not sure how to define his status between the tourist visa period and the permanent res period, so any help and advice would be highly appreciated!
