Hello everyone, can I please seek advise to the experts...

On the Online Physical Calculator, it says that my eligibility period is Oct 18, 2012 to Oct 18, 2017.
I came to Canada last March 2013 as a worker and became PR on June 2015. There is a question that says, "Did you leave Canada between your eligibility period?" I was not yet in Canada on Oct 18, 2012 until March 2013, so should I state the date and place/country where I was during that time as absence from Canada?

Thank you!

In Physical Presence Calculator, I was asked about my status in Canada before I got my PR status. After completing my post graduation, I worked here under post grad work permit.

Please only list the periods of time you had authorized temporary resident or protected person status in Canada and the type of status you had between this date (Say DateA) to that date (Say DateB).
I worked in Canada under post grad permit during this period.
What would be status type for this period. in the drop down, options are,
a. Visitor
b. International Student
c. Temporary Worker
d. Temporary Resident Permit Holder
e. Protected Person.

Can you please tell me which one will be applicable for me?
I had the same thing. I put in as Temporary worker.

In form CIT0002E, # 6 question is: List all the names you have used, including name at birth, maiden name, previously married names,, nicknames.
If I have only one name that I have used all my life, do I still have to fill this question?

I was looking at the excel sheet for the Citizenship Applicants! If you look at September 2017 applications you will see 100% delivered on the App. Delivered column but only 46% AOR after 1 months! I wonder why only 46%. Could be rest of the application they returned for incomplete? That many returned? or something else? Any clue?

1) not everyone actively updates their status here. Could be more people got AOR, just haven't updated it on the sheet
2) if you look at the delivery date to AOR days (column O), it is roughly 30 days
3) Most other September applicants should be getting their AORs by end of October

Let's hope it doesn't get too much worse now that C6 has been implemented, and there are a lot more applicants.

I think (or hope) that timeline will be roughly same for October applicants i.e. roughly 30-35 days for AOR.

For November onwards, it is quite possible that timeline increases in the increments of 10%-20%

Fingers Crossed!! :)
