Missed date of absence

[nexxus007]

Hi all, need your urgent advice. I had my citizenship test yesterday and during the interview, the officer identified that one absence had been missed from the sheet that I had submitted with my application.

My total days in Canada at the time of submission were: 1224.

The absence totals 22 days, which brings down my days in Canada to 1202.

Although this is still within the 1095 days limit, would I expect to receive a RQ for not having given all the information?

What is your local office ? I heard in Mississauga they give oath letter right after interview.

The problem really is that CIC now have grounds to doubt your other declared dates...until the oath nothing you can do but sit tight and hope you don't get a post test RQ.

Just curious here. How does the officer find this missed absence time? Did the agent pull up the exit/entrance info on file? Were they from the days spent in US?

Well, the officer did go throug all the stamps in my passport and verified all the other entries, which matched perfectly. It was just this one date range that was missed.

To the other poster, you are correct. I did get the oath letter, but the letter does not specify a name on it. Would i still expect to get either a RQ or a query from the judge for having missed this info?

Nope, what they did was, during the interview post test, they went through all the stamps in my passport since the time I became a PR to the time i applied, and verified that the absences i had claimed were the same as on my passport.

Did you both have entrance and exit stamps in your passport on all your trips?

Reason I am asking is that my wife went to her home country last year. She didn't get an entrance stamp but has an exit stamp from her country. I know what day she left for her home country.

Will this be a problem with CIC? Of course that I will state when she was out of Canada and back in. Will CiC accept her absence dates as true when I only have exit stamps as evidence.

what other questions did the officer asked ?

Nothing else. She verified my IDs, verified my phone numbers, my address, whether i own my home or rent it, and then went on to verify the passport stamps. That's when we realised that the absence had been missed.

My total days absent was 236. The officer added the missed entry in the sheet, changed the days absent to 258 and in the comments section wrote:

"Did not declare one absence.
No further comments."
