Good day people,
Items 9.C, 11 and 16 in the Citizenship Application form for Adults, have caused some confusion. Well, I have just come across Item 8.C, which asks for a Yes/No response to the following Question:
Did the parent leave Canada for more than 1 year before Feburary 15th, 1977?
(see instructions in the guide)
The way the question is worded, it is awkward to answer with a yes/no if the parent had not visited Canada before 15 Feb 1977. And answering NOT APPLICABLE may well create more confusion, as the instructions in the guide state: If the child's parent acquired Canadian citizenship after February 14, 1977, indicate "N/A (Not Applicable)".
Oh boy. I guess IRCC didn't do much testing.
Comments please, dpenabill and other seniors...
