December 2018 - Citizenship Applications

I think he meant adding china as a destination and explaining in reason section as to why u visited it

Thanks for the reply. I just talked to one of my relatives who became Canadian citizen in 2013. He had a similar situation like me, in this case in Dubai. He stayed one night in a hotel in Dubai with Dubai visa stamped in passport. But, he did not enter Dubai as a separate destination as he reasoned that Dubai was only a transit towards his final destination. So, I am most likely not going to enter China as a destination.

Hello,

During my eligibility period, I traveled my home country from 8 December 2015 till 18 January 2016. On the way home, my flight had a long lay over (may be around 22 hours) in China and the airline authority offered me complementary hotel accommodation outside of the airport. This required me to get on-arrival visa stamped on my passport at the Chinese airport, though I did not have to pay for it. Now my question is, in the physical presence calculator, do I need to list China as a destination for absence from Canada apart from my home country? Or, I can just list my home country as the only destination for absence from Canada and in the reason section explain why there is a Chinese visa stamped on my passport? Please note that there is a note on physical presence calculator that 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."

I would appreciate your response.

I too had a similar travel pattern (the place being London). I did not enter it as separate destination but I explained in "Reason". I don't think it makes any difference either way but I can only keep my fingers crossed for now.

Thank you for your response and inputs.

Depends on the country you may have resided in for more than 6 months during your eligibility period. For example, you need finger prints to get a police check certificate from FBI in the US.

You will get an application or file number when you get your AOR. If you check November or October thread, currently its taking average of 65 to 75 days from the application received date to get an AOR.
