Hi,

I would like a clarification about the 'Physical Presence' section on the Citizenship application.

To give more context, this is my situation:

  • Co-Op Work Permit (International Student Status - I guess?): issued on July 15 2018, expiration indicated on the Visa was March 31 2019.
  • PGWP (Worker Status): date of issue on the visa is April 4th 2019. However, I applied for my PGWP on January 4th 2019 so I was able to work until a decision was made as per the IRCC rule.

Based on the above, when did my 'temporary worker' status started? April 4th 2019 or January 4th 2019?

Also, can you confirm I am right in saying that while on a co-op work permit my status was still International Student? Or is it considered as Temporary Worker?

Hope this makes sense. Thank you!
