I had a question regarding my Citizenship application. When I applied for PR, I did not mention a couple of part-time jobs I did when I was on a Student Visa. But now that I’m preparing my Citizenship application, I’m wondering if I should include them this time.


For context, I did pay taxes on those jobs, so they are on my CRA record. My concern is: will it cause any issues if I now include these jobs in my Citizenship application, even though they were not listed in my PR application?


Would really appreciate if anyone with experience could share whether this might be a problem.

Personally I don't think you need to include them, and don't think CRA records will be a concern. The information provided is primarily to demonstrate that you have the physical presence days in Canada, and very short-term jobs are mostly not relevant for this.

You'll have to decide though.

I'm in this exact same case! I forgot to mention the 1-month part-time job during COVID (really slipped my mind!) and so for my citizenship application, I just did not include it there at all!

I didn't even keep the paystubs and other documents.

I think it should be fine!

Did you keep a copy of all the forms you submitted when you apply for PR? If you did, it has to be the same exact information you provided. You must be truthful on all the information you are providing and it must match it, This is where they are looking if you provided false information or not. If you didn't include them, leave it. The only thing is, IRCC and CRA are connected and they will see it. Does it ask on one of the forms for citizenship if you are require to provide 5yrs or 10yrs of work experience?

If you want to include them, write a letter and let them know that you didn't include those experiences from your previous application and let them know the reason why. You must be sincere and polite. Trust me, it worked on my end :)
