I think they will end up updating the form. If you expect a yes or no answer, dont say "click all that apply", explictly specify that a response is required.
I didnt even read school, self employed lines since I thought that wouldnt apply to me (employed the whole time).
Really hope they accept it. Wish I hadn't found out about this mistake lol. The wait to find out the verdict is too long

I have asked the question on twitter and facebook, but not surprisingly haven't received a response.

Friends any suggestions on below ?

1 - For Question 9 B under minors application form CIT0003E-2 "Has the child left Canada for a total of 6 months or longer since becoming a permanent resident"
We only have to list the absence in the table/chart below if child stayed out of Canada for 6 months or more. I child stayed out of Canada for less then 6 months the we have to say "No" and leave the chart/table below blank or mentioned N/A in the table.


Did i get it correct? Any suggestions how to answer in this scenario ?

2 - About Question 9 C for Adult application CIT0002E - "During your eligibility period id you live outside of canada?" In my case my eligibility period is from Oct 2012 to Oct 2015 where as I became PR on Sept 2013 and before that I never visited Canada. S0 do i still have to mentioned the the address where I was living from Oct 2012 to Sept 2013 even though I was not a PR or a resident of Canada ?

Please I need suggestions, If some who faced the same scenario shed some light how he/she answered this question

I think, I made a mistake but I submitted my application October 6th (delivered Oct 10th 9:10 AM).

During this time my existing Indian passport was already going under the renewal process, so I included the the copies of the passport I had (It was valid till Dec 2017). On October 10th at 2 PM I received my new renewed Indian passport in mail (I have Purolator delivery conformation). The issue date on the new passport is September 29th 2017. I did not include the photocopy of this passport in my application because I hadn't physically received it when I signed and mailed my application.

What should I do?

I think I have two options.
1. Once I received AOR, send the copy of second passport with explanation and evidence that new passport was genuinely delivered after I signed the document
2. Keep all the evidence and explanation with me and take it with me on the day of test/interview

Do step 1 as well as step 2. You are not losing anything. Keep it simple. You are going to be just fine.

You mean to say issue date on the new passport is September 29th 2017 not November?
I would suggest follow 2, if required. I heard if you send any document which is not requested by CIC, that can slow down your application process. I may be wrong but this is my advice.
Anyway you didn't do anything wrong, you sent whatever you had at that time. So nothing to worry.

The instructions says that both pictures need the studio information and the name of the person. In my case both pictures were stamped.

If you haven't sent the application try to get the second stamp from the photo studio and print the name on both photos. That way you'd be complying with the instructions.

I forgot to put my paternity leave (6 months in 2016) on my application. Completely skipped my mind that it should have been mentioned but as I came back to my old job and have been there the last 4 years. Any ideas? Will my application be returned?
