Question 13: Canadian citizenship application

[NS@sk]

Hi there,

I'm worried about Q13 on the Canadian Citizenship application. I understand that work permits, etc. need to be completed. However, my first one was in the UK (which is not an option on the country list), and the permit I held was on an old passport and registered to an email address I've long since discarded of (this was nearly 20 years ago). What are my options?

If you see this link on how to fill up the application (relevant for paper application) read the wording for Q13

Question 13.
Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada (e.g. your country of birth)

• Check either “Yes” or “No”.
• If you check “Yes”, complete the chart.
• Tell us which countries you have held status in, and exactly what status you held or currently hold (student, employment/worker, visitor, refugee/protected person, permanent resident or citizen).
• Provide the date you obtained each status (YYYY-MM-DD)
• Include the end date if no longer valid, if applicable (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave blank if you currently hold this status.
