Is it a negative for my citizenship application if I'm just an Uber driver?

[dreamingmigrant]

I'm from Turkey and in a month I will be approaching my three years required for citizenship. I came to Canada on FSW visa but I didn't like the job that I was getting. I started driving Uber just for extra cash, slowly it became my full-time job because I enjoyed it much more than any other office job I did in my life. Now that my citizenship timeline is approaching, honestly, I'm a bit worried that this will look bad for me.

1.Will they question why an FSW PR is doing such a job?

2. Will they question why I didn't change for a better job?

3. Also when I came to Canada, I was unemployed for four months because I was getting my license and settling down, will these four months be deducted from my citizenship eligibility period? Will it have any negative effect.

Please answer guys, I'm so worried.

Work history mostly serves as a proxy to assess your physical presence. Being an uber driver in Canada is a strong signal you were physically present in Canada. In itself, it won't harm your application at all.

It is okay as long as you also filed taxes, that will confim your physical presence.. orher than than citizenship is not based on type of employment like PR is. Good luck

@Seym @Alalac Thank you guys. Can I also count the four months when I was unemployed when I was a new arrival in Canada. Will that cause any issues like RQ, etc?

No issues. As long as you can confirm your physical presence, your employment status is irrelevant.

Yes you can count. Physical presence has nothing to do with employment.
