Dear All

After waiting for 6 months, the CIC unravels a bizarre form which is full of holes. Any inputs on the following:

Q 9C: Did you live outside during the eligibility period?

For most applications under the current 3/5 rule, we would have spent the first year (2012 /13) living outside. I suppose we should tick YES, but when you are asked to fill in the RESIDENCE OUTSIDE OF CANADA form.

But this form is meant for those claiming eligibility for time outside Canada. What are we supposed to fill up when we have LIVED OUTSIDE, but do not fall under section A or section B of the above document?


Q 11: I have an interesting observation on the table 11. We are supposed to provide emails and contacts of people (assuming that we have taken permission to disclose to CIC). We fill in the details, save and print and send it off right?

Did you notice that the printed application truncates the fields, so the email ids, names, are not fully visible!!.


Are we supposed to enter the details in a excel sheet and take a physical printout of this table and attach it?
What are are the pros and cons?

If we provide the CIT0002E form ONLY- we are perfectly within rights. Has CIC shot itself in the foot inadvertently? - as the contact data is just not fully visible!!. (There is a + sign indicating that there hidden data) Then we need not worry about what we provide here, as the CIC can never decipher contact details from the printed CIT0002E form!!

If we are helpful and provide the above excel sheet, then are we shooting ourselves in the foot by opening a door for CIC to contact our current / previous employers? While on this question, how many ex-employers are willing to acknowledge a verification request from CIC?

Comments from long time members would be helpful

Thanks in advance
 
As someone already sent on another thread, seem like Q11 table has been created by some Co-Op student who got tunnel vision.

How the hell can someone fit/type employer emails, names etc etc in such a small table......an that + sign is so stupid.

I plan on printing it blank and hand writing in small font. No other way my employers name/emails fit in those little boxes.

There must be something peculiar with your pdf program. When typing in the data it appears to truncate the information, but when you click in another column, although the column width stays the same the row height increases and the information wraps around several lines. This is the same in the printed form. Try using a different PDF program. Adobe Acrobat Reader works fine


EDIT:
I see the problem. The form has been updated.

The latest version does not work.
