july 2018, Citizen Application.

Another question from my side. Just curious to understand if any of you are getting multiple emails to participate in an IRCC survey? I am getting those even after I finished the survey. Another curious thing - they are sending my wife's survey to my email address too. Fun times.

i havn't seen any single email from IRCC survey. not sure if its uncommon !!!
As for your wife's survey to your email, you might have mentioned same email id in both application forms.

I have a question regarding employment history. Wheather it's mandatory to disclose few days like 15 or twenty day's in employment history or no need to disclose few days

Personally, I think accuracy is important in these cases, so I would list any employment I was paid for in the application. Unless you were paid under the table with cash for the work, the government will have a record of the work and your application may be compared against what information CRA provides to IRCC on your behalf.

my 2 cents. Pls correct me if I am wrong !!!

Q. 10 is for addresses in which one stays in the eligibility period.
If a person goes on vacation for a month in this time, he/ she still lives in this location. In my opinion, mentioning the address where one goes on vacation is not needed. I did the same for my case. I have been to US a number of times for a week during my period, and I did not mentioned addressed in this question.

However, all those details when one is out of Canada during eligibility period MUST be mentioned in the physical presence form.

Another question many people ask is about Q. 9.c
This is relevant for people who were out of Canada during eligibility period and that time is considered in the Physical presence during that time.
This is applicable ONLY to people who are crown servant family member or crown servant applicant. People who are in jobs that does not fall into this category need not fill this form.

Any comments on this ? or I have screwed my application

Places of vacation are not required. However, if you spent 183 days or more in another country (other than Canada) within the last 4 years, you must provide a police certificate. You must provide a police certificate for each country where you spent 183 days or more. If you cannot get a police certificate, tell us why.
Example 1
In the past 4 years, you took one (1) trip to France that lasted 200 days. You would answer “Yes” to the question and you would need to provide a police certificate from France.
Example 2
In the past 4 years, you took 10 trips to the United States of America (USA). Each trip lasted 3 weeks, for a total of 210 days. You would answer “Yes” to the question and you would need to provide a police certificate from the USA.
Example 3
In the past 4 years, you spent one year (365 days) working in Singapore. While working in Singapore, you took a trip to Malaysia (10 days) and Thailand (10 days). You would answer “Yes” to the question and you would need to provide a police certificate from Singapore. You would not need to provide police certificates from Malaysia or Thailand.
Example 4
In the past 4 years, you took one (1) trip to Europe where you visited Portugal (5 days), Spain (7 days), France (10 days), Belgium (3 days), Netherlands (3 days), Germany (21 days), Switzerland (7 days) and Italy (21 days). You took a second trip to Europe where you visited Ireland (14 days), Scotland (14 days) and England (21 days). You went to Germany for a business trip that lasted 60 days. The total time you were outside of Canada was 186 days but you were not in a single country for 183 days or more. You would answer “No” to the question and you would not need to provide police certificates from any of the countries.

I got a single email from IRCC re the survey, but didn’t participate though.

Hi Maverick,
In my opinion, CIC wont be collecting records from any other databases.
I also had the same situation where I gave my IELTS, and they submitted the results directly to CIC for PR process.
Now at the Citizenship time, I did not had any access to those records. For that, a lot of people and Immigration consultants recommended to get a letter from college stating medium of instruction.

Hmm. I found this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=595&top=5. This made it seem to me that they accept "copies" of the IELTS test scores from PR applications. There has to be some way of ensuring that the copies being sent are genuine? The only way I could think of, is that they look up your previous application as your have to provide your UCI. Else what use is the UCI? The remaining data in the citizenship application is also similar to the one in the PR application (some differences, of course) - I would think I use previous verified data instead of making the security services go through the verification process of all information again. Sounded like good common sense to me but then.... I might be wrong.

Hey Guys, I am going to apply for citizenship soon and I am confused with my physical presence calculator. I was travelling to India from CANADA 4 years back and as part of the transit I crossed the border to US by road and took flight to India from seattle the next day and on return i directly arrived in Canada from India. How should i record that in the calculator?

Destination: USA
date left Canada:
date returned to Canada:

In the reason section, should I mentioned I travelled to USA as a transit to my journey to India. I was in India for 70 days and 1 day in USA. please advice?

Thanks in advance.
