Leaving any question unanswered or blank, unless instructed to, will get your application returned. For any follow-up questions where you are instructed to skip because your initial answer is "No", it is highly advised that you write "N/A" (for non-applicable) in their corresponding spaces instead of leaving them blank.

Tick no if your not a Quebec resident.
Who wants spam election leaflets from a province you’re not resident to far away?

Doesn’t make sense.

The question is directed as those living in Quebec only. So if you don't live in the province of Quebec, personally I don't see IRCC sending your application back.

I wrote N/A next to it but if someone has already sent this blank I really don't see it being an issue.

The Citizenship Act and the Citizenship Regulations do not define what constitutes a filing date and the Federal Court of Canada has emphasized the necessity for a clear “lock-in” date (i.e., the date on which an application was received which is when it is determined to be complete). This jurisprudence, and CIC's own need to provide clarity, creates the basis for which the following guidelines are used for the acceptance of a citizenship application.

Section 13 of the Act sets out that an application is to be accepted for processing only if certain conditions are met. In order to be considered complete and therefore be accepted for processing, an application must

  • be made in the form and manner and at the place required;
  • include the required information; and
  • be accompanied by any required fees and supporting evidence.
For example, one of the required forms that an application must take is that it must be a signed application form, which is submitted with the requisite fee and mandatory documents. Unsigned applications would therefore be returned to the applicant because they are not in the form and manner required. For the purposes of processing a citizenship application, the “lock-in” date is the date that a completed application is date stamped as received and determined to be complete at the CPC-S.

All applications received are checked upfront for completeness, and when the CPC-S receives an incomplete application (e.g., without the requisite fee and/or without the required documents), the mailroom staff will

  • not allocate the paid fees to the processing of the application;
  • not record any data in the Global Case Management System (GCMS);
  • return the entire application package to the applicant with a notice letter indicating what information or document is missing in their application. Two options will be offered to them:
    1. resubmit the application with the missing information or documents, or
    2. request the refund of the fees paid if the applicant no longer wishes to submit their application.

Q17. I am not a resident of Quebec should i TICK 'NO' OR JUST LEAVE IT BLANK

Don't scare people if you don't know what you are talking about... You did not even read the guide, did you?

Here is the part from the GUIDE

Chief Electoral officer of Quebec, if you live in this province

If you are 18 years or older and reside in Québec, indicate whether you authorize IRCC to provide the following information so that your name can be added to the Permanent List of Electors (voters) if you became a Canadian citizen:

  • Name
  • residential address and the date when you started to reside at that address
  • sex
  • date of birth
  • your Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and
  • the date your citizenship was granted to the Chief Electoral Officer of Québec
Your application for citizenship will in no way be affected by your answer to this question.



If you reside in QC - check yes or no, if you don't reside in QC, that does not apply to you...

You did not check any of the boxes though, did you?

Writing N/A was a smart move, just to be extra safe, but that question says itself that it will NOT affect our apps in any way, shape or form...
