Hi all, I am about to apply for Canadian citizenship and need some help from your experience. I have been on PR for 2+ years and been in Canada for 7+ years.

I applied for PGWP in Jan 2018, got it in Feb 2018. Started work in Jan 2018 on implied status. Stayed in same company since.

Most questions in the application focus on last 5 eligibile years which means from Nov 2018.

What should I fill for WP status received date? Jan 2018 or Feb 2018 ?
What should I fill my work start day ? Jan 2018 or Nov 2018 ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

WP starting date in feb 2018.
And your work started in Jan 2018.

Don't worry about the "discrepancy" here. IRCC obviously knows that people can start work on implied status waiting for their WP. Just list things the proper way, as they appear in your documents or your actual work history.
