Dear all, Just noticed that there is a specific excel file for Calgary. Are you guys updating both sheets, the Canadian and the Calgarian?

Oh good! Thanks! I followed the checklist and instruction guide but am of course able to provide work proof too (pay slips) in case they are going to ask. Can't change anything anyway now as the application is already being processed...

Did you guys notice that there is actually an inconsistency between the updated application form CIT-0002E (5-2014) and the corresponding document checklist and the instruction guide? While the form now asks for documentation on education AND work, the checklist as well as the instruction guide...

Finally, there is progress ;D

Although my application has been received on April 25, no status update on ecas as of today. I assume, they got more applications recently as more people try to get processed before the new bill change ::)

Hi folks! I sent my application in on April 21 and it was received on April 25. Cheers dbo73 Calgary

Sienatiara, I hear you, but why should I put it that I was looking for a job? I was travelling so I think I should just put that (besides, I already got my job arranged end of May/early June 2011 - to start in September. The main focus of the time period from April to August 2011 was really to...

Hmm, in this case, this is different from the CRA guidelines. Otherwise I would have to talk to my tax advisor 8) grrr.

Sounds good. Will do. :D THANKS

rayman_m, Yes, I came to live in Canada in April 2011. That is why I have all the questions. For example, the caculator does not allow me to enter June 2010 as the PR date and a later date in "date when you came to Canada to live" - it seems this is a flaw and just not expected. April to Aug...

no problem. to be precise: I newer said I am going to remove information from the application. It was always a question around 'do those days count or not'. Thanks

OK - thanks, will do

Whoooah :o - please read my posts in detail - by no means I plan to willfully give incorrect information. All my information will be added and is correct. All I wanted to know is whether purely physical presence is important or actually having lived in Canada. This question has now been...

Hi rayman_m, Thanks for the advice. I wouldn't be able to provide any proof for the two times I used the friends address as I was travelling during that time. First the first window (June 2010) I planned to use my home country address (as it was purely vacation). For the second window, we...

I need to think about it.... But just to confirm: so it is really just the physical presence that counts and it doesn't matter if I even lived here during that time? It this would be the case, then someone who has enough money could spend 3 years on vacation in Canada, not having a job, not...

rayman_m, the 10-15 days in June 2010 are actually within the 4 year window. (PR since early June 2010 - citizenship application will be early May 2014) Thanks!

Thanks sweetakash, I had all the calculation done so I already have this information but removed it from the initial version. After all I only have three more weeks to wait and I will have 1100 days, even without the few days in June 2010. I am not sure: I just thought it would be better to...

@ scylla @ rayman_m Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it. @ scylla That is what I first thought but I the guide specifically mentiones 'the time you have lived in Canada'. I was PR at that time and yes, I was physically present during the holidays in June 2010 but I did not...

Hi, I am in the process of putting my citizenship application together and due to some special circumstances, the residency calculator looks a little akward in my case. Although there is no better way to put it (see below for details) I was looking for input on the best wording in the comments...

Hi there, I am from Calgary and plan to send in my application package early May (my exact fulfillment date regarding residency and physical presence would be May 5). I had a look at the tracker but can't make any changes. Could someone please check and confirm? Maybe it is just the my browser...
