Hello kind people,
I have a question on which I would highly appreciate any assitance/feedback!
This is in regard to question "Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)?".
For the above, I filled in all the visas that were ever issued to me since birth (i.e. declared my citizenship, declared any residence visa's ever held, any residence permits ever held, any visitor/tourist visas issued, any student visas issued etc.).
That being said, the above confuses me slightly. Example -
I held a European residence permit (issued by EU Country A) that allowed me to travel visa-free to any other schengen country. I visited numerous other countries (e.g. EU Country B,C,D and so on based on this free movement ability).
For the above mentioned citizenship application question, I only filled in the details of the original residence permit issued (i.e. details of residence permit issued by EU Country A). I did not fill in travel dates for any of the other countries that I was allowed to travel to visa-free (although, all these travels were indicated on my PR application under travel history with the respective dates. Also, all this travel happened even before I became a landed PR).
Similar situation occurs for out of schengen zone travel as well. Please see example below -
I am a citizen of Asian Country A. As mentioned earlier, I held a European residence permit.
Citizenship of Asian Country A + European Residence Permit allowed me visa free entry as a vistor to Asian Country B (without the european residence permit I would need a visa). I did not indicate Asian Country B under the above mentioned citizenship application question because I was issued no visa. Will this be an issue? (the travel dates for this journey were indicated on my PR application under travel history as well. This travel also happened before I became a landed PR).
Same as above, I am a citizen of Asian country A.
Citizenship of Asian Country A allowed me visa free entry as a visitor to Asian Country C (visa free for citizens of Asian Country A by bilateral agreement). I did not indicate Asian Country C under the above mentioned citizenship application question because I was issued no visa. Will this be an issue? (the travel dates for this journey were also indicated on my PR application under travel history as well. This travel also happened before I became a landed PR).
Document details for Citizenship of Asian Country A was provided for this question. (this enabled visa free travel to Asian Country C)
Document details of the residence permit for EU Country A was provided for this question (this enabled visa free travel to other schengen countries EU Country B,C,D etc. and to Asian Country B).
Thank you very much in advance and so sorry for the long post. Wanted to provide as much info upfront to make your life a bit easier
