Hi,
I am applying for a Canada study permit and need clarification on 2 questions in imm1294 form.

Question 7: Current country or territory of residence: I am a Sri Lankan citizen working in Qatar (under a work permit). So should I mention my home country where I am a citizen (Sri Lanka) or Qatar? If I give Qatar what will be the To Date?

Question 9: Country or territory where applying: I want my application to be processed in my home country (Sri Lanka) as the rejection rate is high in the Middle east. So if I choose Sri Lanka for this section and status as Citizen it is asking for From date and To date, which date should I give?

Will it be a problem if I choose Sri Lanka as I will provide my biometrics in Qatar?

Also I read somewhere that if I mention a country other than citizen (ex: Qatar), I should provide proof of legal status in the country where I live. What is meant by legal status and where to provide.

Thanks a lot in advance.

You need to living in Sri Lanka to apply from there proving residency. If you are living in Qatar then that is where it is processed from.

you must answer Sri lanka as your current country of residence in the GCkey questionnaire before you arrive in the forms for your application to go to sri lanka. answer in Imm1294 would be then:
7-sri lanka - ctizen
8-qatar -worker
9-yes, sri lanka

however, this is misrepresenting yourself and giving false info. many people do it though and easily get their approvals in their home country. i do not advise you to do this. UAE is refusing lots of application but you dont want to ruin your future PR application with this false info.

Hi Guys. I am citizen of India but have born and raised in the UAE, and have never been to India for more than six months and have only visited 6 times (two-three weeks each time), with no immediate relatives in India (all immediate relatives in the UAE) I also work in the UAE. Neither me nor my family have any assets /businesses in UAE or Golden visas, etc. I was wondering what you guys think, if it would be better to apply from the UAE or from India?
