October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[razerblade]

Guys i just discovered an error. I went to the UK directly from Canada and came back from the UK to Canada for two weeks in 2014 which i put on my days out of the country on my application and i just discovered while looking at my passport that i actually stepped into France for a few days and came back into the UK and i did not declare that. Would this be an issue? What to do as the stamp shows entered and left France within the period i already declared out of Canada in the UK only. It doesn't affect my number of eligibility days as its the same but would this be flagged during interview?

Well given that it doesn't impact your physical presence in Canada, IMO I would say it would be a non-issue.

What I'm not sure about is whether it's worth correcting this minor mistake using the webform. Since you have a stamp from France on your passport, there's a chance the officer would scrutinize it during the interview, but you could simply explain that on the spot.

Some folks forgot to account for complete trips and were still ok because they had a large buffer.

Your call.

Hi guys, it's been a while. I just got my FBI clearance. Do I send it sealed together with my application or it doesn't matter if it's open?

Appreciate your reply.

Thanks!

Added you to spreadsheet. Can you share your application type (single/family), physical presence days, and application sent date.

Added. Congrats! Do you live a significant distance away from the Vancouver IRCC office/CPC ? Wondering the reason for your oath being on the same day as your test. Thanks

Thank you.Yes. We do actually leave 10 hours away. But I haven't received the letter from the mail yet. I am thinking and hoping that it would be in Calgary as we are just 2 hours away. We're from Lake Louise AB BTW

I had an exam today. It was easy 20 out of 20. I suggest you to read the book once at least. Few true false questions few history others general knowledge about Canada. We are not allowed to discuss more than that.

Interview was good with nice officer. Thanks to all of them. Good luck to you

Congrats. Quick question, do you mean that the test question weren't all multiple choice questions? Did u have ture and false questions ? And if you don't mind how many each? Thx

if they asked you during the interview explain it, and I don't think it will be an issue.

The form actually says if you went to multiple countries on one trip, you just state the one you were in longest then add any others in the comments field when doing the residency requirement. I think you could explain it away fairly safely - it seems like an honest oversight.

3 true false question and still answer is a or b. I can't discuss specific information but it was mostly general knowledge about Canada. I think 2 question was about history. Study the book once at least. Good luck

Telephone: 1-888-242-2100 (in Canada only) ... don't remember the exact options I chose, took several attempts to connect to an agent

Be advised, not all agents share the status. I was lucky to find one willing to do so on my first attempt. Spent 30 min on hold.

I called this morning, the agent said my file is still in Sydney office - even though I told her the status showed 'In Process' since 2 months ago and the CIC website clearly stated 'In Process' means 'Your file has been sent to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) office closest to your home for processing.'....
