CIT 0520 after citizenship test

[ilkar]

I don't. Why would they need those? They already have those dates per their CBSA search. They want to know why I failed to disclose those. So I am going to figure out what to say in a letter to them soon.
What do you think I should say?

I think the best way to go would be to say that you made a mistake and reply by giving a new residency calculator, which includes those trips. My mother had also too many trips and didn't disclose 3 of them by mistake. Once she gave a revised residency calculator, they were able to move forward with the application.

That's a good idea. Did she get her oath?

No she just received a phone call from CIC asking one other question and saying the residency calculator has been accepted and no further documents would be needed for her application, so she should get it anytime now. I think you should just write a cover letter explaining you made a mistake and that you sent an updated residency calculator and it should do it.

Many thanks. I will do that.
How about I say "I forgot to include those dates because at the time of filling out my RQ I didn't have access to old passports any more. However here it is a revised residency calculator as best as I can remember."

What say you?
======

What question did they ask???

Yes I say that should do it as long as the revised one is fairly accurate and that you stayed 1095 days prior to applying, that is perfect.

Okay after a careful review of their CBSA report, I realized 2 of the trips indicated on the CBSA report were not actually completed trips. My last US bound flight was canceled at the last minute, and we were ordered to clear the customs to re-enter Canada in order to take an early flight the next day. However I have no way to prove this. Same thing happened on a different date many years ago, when another U.S. bound flight had been canceled and I decided not to go at all. Yet, I cleared the customs to get back in Canada as instructed by West Jet airline staff. Now I do not have those passports used so many years ago for those entries. What's my option? What should I do?

And I also realized that now I am short of 1095 days (based on the day my application was signed in 2012). Maybe that's why the whole thing has been delayed?

What are the chances of getting rejected at this time? Does any one know?

If you get an appointment with the judge, which you probably will based on what you wrote, he/she will decide whether or not to accept or reject your application. Do your best to defend your case and you may want to contact an immigration lawyer so that they can direct you towards the best way to do it. CIC has been really tough lately on applications short of 1095 days. But the good news is that you may have enough to apply within the new law and processing is really fast. Good luck

Do they issue CIT 0520 to any one and every one? I have yet to read here that one who was issued this form had to see a judge. I am confused.
Plus, I was told by my interviewing official that I don't need to see a judge. And my ATIP reports indicate that 'CJ' is not needed. So which is it?

 

[Rayan14]

Question:

there is a question on all RQ or citizenship applications that asks to 'mention all your absences' from Canada. So now, does this mean 'absences' since the day one steps foot on the Canadian soil? Or does this mean absences since one becomes a PR?

Also, how does residency calculator work? Does it take into account each and every day prior to becoming a PR? Do one's travels prior to becoming PR account for his absences too?

I am not sure if my questions make sense. But any response is duly appreciated. Thank you.

I have now retained a respectable immigration lawyer to start the process of suing the f..ing CIC union bums. I have fired the first shot by giving them a warning. Apparently the CIC idiots have made a huge mistake on my residency questionnaire files. I had, at the time of my citizenship application signing, more than 1450 days. But due to the cic's error I was credited with less than 1096 days.
As you can tell I have no freaking respect for the Jason Kenney's and now Chris Alexander's departments. Can't wait for them to lose the upcoming election.

even if the conservatives loose the elections CIC staff stays the same .

Perhaps, but I m blaming the current government for the a quarter million plus backlog. I once was a Conservative party supporter and staffer. We will see if they will "LOSE" the election or not.
