December 2018 - Citizenship Applications

[Sam.Ahmed]

Hi All,

I have a query regarding question 9C. It says have you lived outside Canada during your eligibility period. So I am applying in dec 2018 and my eligibility period starts from dec 2013. I landed in Canada in 2015, and I was living somewhere else before immigration 2015. So what should select in this question? yes or No? and when I see form, the form is for crown servant which is not applicable to me anyways.

Thanks

I had that same question with same scenario, so I asked a lawyer and they said that you need NOT to fill the RESIDENCE OUTSIDE CANADA form but mention the time period you lived outside Canada (i.e. before landing in Canada) which covers your eligibility period

Think we should only list the address if you were living there but NOT when u r visiting there ?
Even though i am on vacation back home for 120 days my primary residence/mailing address remained in Canada.
This is clear from the instructions in the application guide that specifies "live, study, work". If you visit a country, you did not live, study or work there.

Hi,
if you consider 120 days (4 months) as visiting a country then you are correct.

In the context of your citizenship eligibility, what the question is really asking is "Have you spent more than 183 days of a calendar year falling in your eligiblility period outside of Canada ?". And those who serve the Crown may use some of that time towards their citizenship eligibility but regular people like you and me cannot. In your case, the answer seems to be yes and all it does is indicate to the officer that any time before your landing doesn't count towards your eligibility.

Correct. You select YES , mention that period from 2013 to 2015 you did in the 5 year time period. If you did short trip after getting PR then show that in your physical calculation history along with reason.

Was there a typo error. Your Physical presence show 1090 days, it should be 1095 days at the very minimum at the time you submit your form. It will be cancelled. Kindly look into this if your above info is correct
