cit0002e-2 4e) What is your city/town and country of birth?

[calgary1991]

Hi,

I have a question about cit0002e-2 form. In 4e section, it asks my city/town and country of birth. I checked my proof of permanent residency document. City/town of birth is “Hameln F.ALM” which is the same as my passport. Country is “Germany, Federal Republic”. So the problem is in “Hameln F.ALM”. The part, “ALM” stands for “ALMANYA”, which means Germany in Turkish. I have no idea how this happened. I think it is because of my passport. My birthplace is exactly the same written like that in my passport. Do you think I should still write “Hameln F.ALM” in my city/town of birth? All the parts from question 4 should match perfectly with our PR document in the end right? Thanks everyone!

Hi

I can understand your dilemma specially being at the start of the application phase.

I will suggest you to keep everything consistent between your passport, PR card and citizenship application. Go with Hameln F.ALM instead of ALMANYA.
This is with an assumption that the Canadian "systems" would only cross check the details limited to what I had previously given them as part of the PR processing(Hameln F.ALM in this case) and they would have no way to know that a city has undergone a name change unless the officer specifically is searching for the city's name change(is ALM now ALMANYA?) for whatever reason.

This way neither are you misrepresenting nor would the officer flag your application on finding ALM is ALMANYA (if they even do such search like my hypothesis above). It should be clean pass for the cross check stage.

All the best for your application and be positive and calm. Everything will be fine at the end.

Any updates?

OPs application is in processing right now and based on the only response here, I would infer they stuck with the city name on their documents

Hey, just write it exactly like how it’s written in your PR document, got my AOR without any issue.

Thanks, my case is quite different (I might make a post) but wondered if something relevant comes out of this. Thanks for answers.
