Your period should start on Nov 12 2018 if you got your pr on this date
Which means you need to wait until Nov to apply

So, let’s start with some housekeeping. You’re posting in the thread for march 2023 applicants, about an application you are about to submit and it’s now may. You should have started a brand new thread.

Now, to answer your question. Just fill in the address of where you were may 21, 2018 to Nov 11, 2018. Your addresses do not need to be all in Canada. The system doesn’t want to see gaps in addresses in the past 5 years.

Be prepared that they may ask for a PCC for that time period outside Canada.

For further info, start a new thread.

There is obviously time gap. Double check it. If I remember correctly, the address history is for the entire 5 year period before your application date. Not just your residence in Canada.

All that can be shared is they'll make sure you get the answer right if you know the ballpark.

Now that I'm in the "waiting stage" for the Oath ceremony, I thought I should also share my timeline:

Location: Regina, SK
Physical presence: 1630
Method: Online
Applicant: Single
Application sent: March 6, 2023
App delivered: March 6, 2023
AOR: March 22, 2023
Test invitation window: May 15 - June 4, 2023
Test taken: May 16 with a 20/20 score

Congrats to fellow March applicants who have completed their testing, and Goodluck to others who will be doing so in the upcoming days.

It's my first time posting in this forum since 2018/early 2019 when this forum was like a bestfriend in keeping me updated/informed regarding my PR process. Looking back, It's just unbelievable that I have almost completed the process of being a Canadian citizen!
My Citizenship test was updated to "Completed" today on the tracker. I took the test on May 16

Hi all,
It shows online that applications filed on April 3rd are now receiving AOR. My paper application was recieved on March 28 and I have not received AOR. Is this timeline for only online applications?
