May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

You’ve only supplied information for 3.5 years. They want FIVE years. Even if it was outside Canada. Your application is missing 18 months of information at the start of it, which will also, most likely, trigger a request for PCC.
They ask for FIVE years. Give them FIVE years. Not 3.5 as you have been.
I do not understand. This is about Physical Presence not activity within the last five years. I submitted PCC.
If you have confirmation letter that you submitted while you were on implied status or confirmation of submission for work permit include that with your application. Include copy of your visit record from CBSA with letter of explanation.
June 2,, 2018, to November 9, 2019 somewhere else in the world
November 10, 2019 to October something 2020 temporary foreign worker
October something to June 2 2023 Permanent resident.
If you can’t figure it out, CALL IRCC (you can quite easily Google their number). Or hire an immigration lawyer.
Incorrect. As part of your Physical Presence, they want to know ALL ACTIVITY 5 years prior to the date of your citizenship application, go through the Citizenship Application Guide.
To be clear. I answered the section for activity within the last five years, I even make it six years. Beside, I cannot submit the online application twice if I did mistake on the activity history within the last five year.
This has nothing to do with the activity. their issue is they cannot verify my status in Canada prior to becoming PR. which is very strange.
Yes, I submitted my confirmation of submission also a letter from IRCC edmonton, confirming that they transferred my file to Etobicoke before. I also included detailed letter of explanation to my second application. However, didnt help.
Luckily, I obtained my travel history from CBSA this week, I will send this document to them. CBSA stated in their letter "after a thorough search in our database, the "applicant" has no record on file"?
Hopefully this works. If not, I have no more information to add on, I will probably just wait until I het 1095 through my PR status in Canada.
Thanks everyone for your insights.
This is the IRCC says
Your application for Canadian citizenship is incomplete. We cannot start processing your application for the following reasons:
Physical Presence
In our records, we cannot confirm your time in Canada before you became a permanent resident (PR).
To fix this issue

immigration documents - update or correct your physical presence

Make sure you’ve calculated your days properly. Or wait until you have 3 years as PR.
