Question about 5 Year Eligibility Period (Out of status before PR)

[pakboto]

Hi All,

I appreciate if someone can help me with this question. I am about to apply for my sponsorship but for the question " During the 5 year eligiblity period, did you have any valid status", what should I put? I did have a valid status for 1 full year as student from 2021 Jan to 2021 December and I received my PR in 2023 April. I had no status from 2022 Jan to 2023 April. Will this be a concern?

Thank you,

​

Sorry I meant I am about to apply for my citizenship.

Sorry I meant I am about to apply for my citizenship.

But you post under citizenship?

Yes, I am applying for my citizenship. One of the questions for calculating physical presene is "During the 5 years of eligibility, have you had a valid status before becoming PR" . My question is what do I respond to this question if I was out of status before I received my PR.
