Ok great, thanks for the confirmation!

Hi Everyone - thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide. I'm filling out my online Citizenship application, and got to the question that reads: "In the past 4 years, were you in a country or territory other than Canada for 183 days or more in a row (since the age of 18)?" I lived in...

So I have to get a few references for the same job, because I was a contractor. My payroll was done by two separate companies during my contract, and I have a reference from the company where I was contracted to for confirmation of my duties/responsibilities. Only problem is, my job was an...

I'll help this thread gain some momentum. I got my ITA in June. 482 points. Fairly sure I would have been the 1 in 1,501. So far I have 5/9 references. Having trouble with two of them. Tempted to just leave them out as they don't even carry a CRS score. Will see how I get on over the next...

Agreed - been very helpful to me so far. Much appreciated.

Great - that's really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions. I am way way way overthinking this, but I just want to make sure that I get it right first time and don't make any careless mistakes. I'm generally learning, as I'm moving forward, however, that as long as...

My Work History in my pre-ITA profile only included the jobs which will generate points for my application. My Work History in my post-ITA profile includes all jobs, irrespective of skill level. The post-ITA profile dictates that you complete a Personal History, which must include no gaps over...

Sorry... just to clarify here. You can have jobs that are on your Personal History, but not included in your Work History, if they don't influence your total score? So me trying to get references from Home Depot and HMV, where I worked for a total of 3 months as a cashier in both (i.e. no...

So... I potentially have a bit of a conundrum, and would appreciate if you guys could add some of your experience/logic to this situation. I'll try to cut a long story short: I worked at BC Hydro from July 2011, to Sept 2012. 15 months in total. I was an Admin Asst, NOC 1241, and am using it...

I assume, though, with something like this, they would ask for more info rather than straight up reject the application. If it does get rejected, do you get your fees back? As far as I understand it, there is a processing fee, and a fee for the visa. Presumably you only have to pay the visa...

Personal History is complete, with no gaps, and is accurate. At the moment, my Work History has only the two jobs which contribute towards my score. For the Work History portion, it doesn't specify that there should be no gaps (obviously, because its not unreasonable for people to go for...

Does it matter if these don't match? (Not clashing info, just not listing all jobs in Work History.) As far as I was aware, Work History was where you put the jobs that count towards your score. Then Personal History is for literally everything... work, travel, times of unemployment. Now I'm...

Note it says USUALLY required. No definitely required. From what I've heard, the qualification part isn't the most important part. It's whether your list of responsibilities matches the description for the NOC code. Obviously this is different for things like architect and dentist, etc. but...

It's got room to put days, too... I don't think it would be an issue - but I know that they can be picky when they want to be. Although, my assumption is that, as long as I'm declaring it, and I have 99% of it correct, missing a trip by a few weeks isn't going to be a major issue. If they...

Hi All, How important are the dates for Travel History? For 99% of it, I have date stamps in my old passport that help work out the dates. But for a few trips, I don't know the date I returned to my 'home' country (whether that be Canada or the UK). There are also two trips, to France and...

Great, thanks, Asivad Anac. Nice username, by the way :)

GREAT! Thanks... Where did that info come from? The CIC site?

Excellent! Just out of curiosity - would the funds need to be in a cash account/savings account? Or would simply transferring them to a Premium Bonds account in my name be sufficient? (Assuming, of course, I provide information of the PB account.) I read somewhere that someone's application...

As far as I know, you need to provide a payslip or an end of year tax form. I wonder if just a bank statement might not contain enough information about where the funds came from/what they're for. That said, it is only for proof of salary... so not sure.

Hi All. Very informative thread here. Thanks to all those who have contributed. Just want to put forward my specific case and see what people think. I'm finding very conflicting info regarding the six month requirement. On another forum they are absolutely adamant that you need to have held...
