Citizenship Application Form - Completing Qs

[manianz47]

Hi
Need a clarification:
Form: CIT0003
Section 6:
6A - Write the date when you became a PR - This date will correspond to the COPR date. Example: 2009-01-01
[Then I went out of Canada immediately for Job. Returned later and established residence (Job and Tax purpose)] - Return date Example: 2011-01-01
6B - Write the date when you first came to Canada to live. Does this correspond to: 2011-01-01 [as above]?

The date you first came to canada is the first time in your life came to canada with non-immigrant ViSA, the date you became PR is the date you entered as landed immigrant after you had your immigration VISA

Hi
Thanks for the reply
Q 6A is OK since it refers to PR specifically
Q6B - Write the date when you first came to Canada to live.
I am not clear whether this refers to my first Canadian entry (which I did somewhere in 2007 as a Tourist). The specific term here is: when you first came to Canada to live. Not too sure whether a tourist will qualify for to live clause

Will see what other people in this forum say, I am not sure of the answer to this one, coming as a tourist and leaving shortly is different from coming on work or student visa

only count from the date of your permanent resident or you are staying
as student visa, or other status.. but you leave than that is not countable.
please also check with cic by calling the call centre.
