C-6 Citizenship Applications, Frequently Asked Questions

[jacZ]

Questions like this highlight the need to emphasize I am NOT an expert. In particular, I cannot offer anything about this particular aspect of the process.

I pay close attention to a lot of detailed information about some relatively particular issues, regarding which I make a concerted effort to stay informed and carefully analyze. So I can and often do offer in-depth observations about matters related to such issues.

Sorry I cannot offer more.

I can suggest you take the time and make the effort to telephone the call centre and ask about this. Unfortunately there are scores of inconsiderate others bogging down IRCC's resources, calling to ask questions like "it's been ten minutes and eCas does not show my application In Process, why is it taking so long . . . ? " So it could take a concerted effort to get through and make your query; be polite but persist in getting the call agent to actually access your records, to verify the name, or explain how it works. Good luck.

Ok ,thanks for the help .

Hi, I have questions regarding question 11 on for CIT0002e. I am filling out this form for my mom. She has never worked and has always been a homemaker staying with me. During last 4 years she went back home to spend time over there and did some short trips of 5-8 days to US and Saudi. Do I need to mention that period as well in this question? If yes, should I put "homemaker" in Occupation, field of employment" section?

Keep holidays on the presence calculator only. No need to add them in q11.
And yes, you can put homemaker there, with your name for the contact section.

Good luck !

Hey guys:
I have a quick question for you. I went to my home country(Bangladesh) and on the way i stayed in Qatar for 1 day. So for the Physical Presence Calculator do I put Qatar as as my destination and Bangladesh in the reason?
In that same way If i am travelling to Bangladesh and had a few hours transit in USA, Do i put USA as destination and Bangladesh in my reason?


In the Physical Presence Calculator it says:
If you visited more than one country during the same absence, list the first country in 'Destination' and list the other countries in the 'Reason' field.


Is my understanding right?


Regards

Hi All,
I need your advise here regarding online physical Presence Calculator. which following option should i choose?

1- do i put the details according to my study or work permit document issue date/ expiry ?

2- do i put the details according to my situation like i completed my study in june 2013 on valid study permit and off campus work permit and i got job as full time in July,2013 but post graduate work permit issued me in August,2013. which i was mentioned in my PR application as well.
i got my PR in 30 april,2016.

Just want to know those who completed studies in canada and got a job before the post graduate work permit issued they were started full time job on off campus work permit.
do i put the date when i start the job as full time or i follow study permit expiry date
so i am confused here either i go according to my study/work permit document expiry or option 2?


Please advise Thanks

Yes, forms are filled incorrectly as eligibility period is from 2013. also, were you in Canada before 2015? if not, you would need PCCs?

I would say your work permit starts when you get PGWP, and I would put that as the end of study permit (even though the actual expiry is beyond that).
