Citizenship Online Application Questions

[rjoy]

Hi, I'm doing my Canada citizenship application and i have a few questions (I'm already a Permanent Resident, having lived in Canada for 5 years btw)

1] It asks if I had a temp foreign visa and if i applied to extend it, but I don't know whether to put 'yes' or 'no' (I had an IEC visa for 2 years, so a temp foreign worker visa, however I was too late to apply for an extension/bridge visa, so i was in Canada without a status for 6 months, until they approved me a visitor visa, which ironically arrived the same day as my PR being granted) and would having had no status for 6 months affect this application?

2] 5 year addresses - I'm assuming doesn't include airbnbs?

3] Does including 'Immigration status elsewhere' include an australian working holiday from 12 years ago?

4] 'Travel documents during your 5 years' - I have my home country passport, my IEC visa, and PR card, but don't have the visitor visa (mentioned in 1] ) so can I submit without that?

Any help would be fantastic......

Many thanks,
Rachael

1) I'll let others answer...
2) List all the places where you "lived", not the places where you were simply traveling. If that Airbnb was a weekend chalet or a couple weeks vacation New York, no need, and that period will be covered by your actual house. If it was your place for a few months while looking for a permanent place in Canada, we'll, you lived there, so list it. Go with your common sense.
3) that's visa that allows you to live and work there for a relatively long time, so list it I guess... Pretty much the same logic as question 2 above. IRCC doesn't care about your visitor visas (even those multiple years travel visas from US or other countries) if you just used them for normal vacations. Actual status in countries where you studied, worked, or even just visited for an extended period of times, aka many months, is what's relevant to them.
4) Visa's aren't travel document. Only list your passport there.
