Few Citizen Application Questions

[khanbaba]

Folks,

I have a couple of questions regarding the citizenship application. Your valuable response will be appreciated.
Section 6. D
Do you have permanent residence status or equivalent in any other country than Canada?
"So when I applied for Immigration I was on PR status in middle eastern country". Now once I left that country I am no more a a PR. Should I mention that in the application or not?"

Section 6. F
Work and eduction history in six years.
Should I start from the last six years or the date I become PR. The recent one is PR. I become PR 5 years ago. It means I should mention everything after I became the PR?

Section 6. F
The dates should overlap each other? I mean if the ending of one period is august 2014 and the starting of other is august 2014. Should this time overlap or I have start it from September 2014.

Thank you,

1. No
2. Yes - after PR.
3. Dates can overlap especially if you have multiple jobs at same time. But if you have gaps, give proper reason (job search/ studying/ home maker etc.)

Regarding the overlap my specific question is:
Forexample i have a rental agreement with a building and it ends in June 30. The new one starts at 1st of July. How will I mention this in the column of address? Should I overlap it ? like I say June 30 the end of one column and then June 30 start of the new address? or it will be July 1st.
Same thing goes for the education and work history as well. for example I will be studying in one month and then the same month I will start a job. is is overlap Justifiable?

Thanks

You are a PR unless you can prove opposite. If you have the old documents that you retain a PR status, you must inform the Canadian government. If your PR is officially cancelled and you have confirming documents, then you can write N/A.

In Canada, and I believe other countries, you are a PR forever, except when you are deprived this status officially, for example due to being outside for too long. It may happen on the custom or before, but anyways you will have a proof in your hands, that you can present upon request.

Section 6 F
The question says ' last 6 years' so I would say that you have to give full information for all those 6 years (including any time when you were not a PR.) It doesn't say ' last 6 years' OR since the date you became a PR. If you give only 5 year history, it seems natural that the officer will check to see where is info for the missing year and then to verify it, he could issue you an RQ

@Almost Canadian

I believe it is after the PR because the statments says that last 6 year or since you become PR, which ever comes first.
