American born Canadian PR eligible for Canadian Citizenship Travel Question

[nauny88]

Hi everyone!

I am from the US and have been a Canadian PR for the past 5 years, making me eligible for Canadian Citizenship. I have a question about listing my travel history. I have visited my family back in the US 20+ times over the past 5 years, many of those trips have been with my husband who holds a Canadian passport. My question is do I have to (or should I) indicate on the travel log that I was "accompanying a Canadian citizen?" I am well within the residency obligation of 1095 days, as my total days abroad are less than 200.

Thank you for your information!

Not necessary. just include the dates and reason "visiting family" on your travel journal.

Agree with other poster: since you do not 'need' these days to qualify, do not check that box.

Simple reasons: those days will absolutely not help your citizenship app or residency obligation (not counted towards citizenship, you already meet the RO) AND would almost certainly result in more dtailed examination (to see if that time together meets the somewhat-vague criteria that need subjective decisions to be made), it will only delay things further.
