I think it's neither here nor there. With previous versions of form CIT0002, the drop down options were indeed residence or citizenship like @Jakev mentioned but the latest iteration (i.e. CIT 0002 (10-2020)E) now include citizen, PR, student visa, work visa, visitor visa etc. So, I'd personally advice to include all visitor visa if you can remember them (and especially if they stamped your visa upon entry/exit).
December 2021 - Citizenship Applicants
- Thread starter twranks
- Start date
I ordered one but there was not much info there.. I have requested another one but that's only like a week ago .. waiting on that
I hope you get some updates soon, did your background check get cleared or not yet?
nope, still waiting .. once FP clears then I guess my BG would complete as well.
Well maybe in your case once your background check gets cleared then you'll receive a test invitation
Yeah well just because you cleared all that doesn't mean you're in the clear, they might still ask you for copies of all of your passports pages in the last 5 years. If there's stamps then you'll have a bit of explanation to do. If you aren't hiding anything just send them a webform tell them you forgot to mention this and that and they'll add it to your file. Better if you come forward first and explain to them than IRCC discovering it later on their own. Also hiding stuff from IRCC is never a good thing even if you got your citizenship they can revoke it anytime even after years down the line if they discovered later on that you have lied or hid something during the process. It's not worth it but in the end it's up to you ..
I already sent all pages of my passport, both current and expired- so I’m pretty sure I’m safe. Like I said, to each his own and we’ll play by the ear when it comes to translation of passport stamps.
Just so to add, they’re NOT gonna revoke someone’s citizenship because they didn’t translate a bloody UAE stamp (That’s the only place I have ever been to on a transit visa) ! The process of canceling a citizenship is onerous and has legalities in addition to technicalities to it.

No need to inform, especially if you are back before taking the test/oath. Just maintain PR status, like you said.
Lol who said they're going to revoke citizenship because you did not translate your stamps, maybe you should go back and read and understand what I said above. That happens if someone is hiding or lying about something then technically they can even if it's not an easy process they can do it...no need to get sarcastic or defensive if you aren't hiding anything then good for you, but you shouldn't advice people to not mention things and hide and to follow what you did if it's not the right way and if you're "trying to help". Plus translating those passport stamps is a must if they aren't in English or French and that's a requirement by IRCC and if you don't translate them this might cause delays and they might ask you to send a translation. Also one of the reasons why they ask for passport pages is because they want to check if what someone mentioned in their application was true and that they aren't hiding anything because not everyone gets that request if they applied online but since you were a paper applicant then you had to submit those upfront anyways which means you showed them everything before hand
