Hi All,

I applied for my citizenship application earlier this year. I was recently going through my passport and noticed that during one of my absences from Canada I travelled in two countries, however, I mentioned only one in the application.

Absence from Canada:
Travel to: Ireland
Date: October 2018 to Feb 2019
Reason: Work related

During this absence I had also made a 5 day trip to Austria (November 2018), which I completely forgot about and did not mention. I see that as per instructions I should have mentioned about this additional country that I visited in the “Reason for travel” section of the physical presence sheet. Please note that this trip does not change the no of physical days I was in Canada as this trip was undertaken when I was in Ireland.

I have recently appeared for my test and only now discovered this.

What should be my approach from here? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Attach a web form stating the mistake. Have you written the test yet? It would be easier to email your processing office too.
