Pre-Assessed..
We are filing our Citizenship Application next week. I had requested CBSA report of Entries to Canada and received couple of weeks back.

I am attaching this report from CBSA with the application.

Do I still give Consent to CIC to Collect my history of entries from CBSA?

What is implication of saying NO - whereas CBSA report is already attached?

Please advise
 
There is no need to attach something which is not asked....just give the consent....the implications could be they getting pissed off and send you a RQ.
 
Anyone who had checked NO and had test but no RQ due to this...
 
Dear Applicants (recents)...

Please share what yo have checked... Yes r No...

If No, did you attached a CBSA report of enteries...?

Thanks in advance.

I think you are better of giving consent and mailing in only the requested application documents. Just my opinion...

They will want to have your history of entries at least up until the date you apply. If your history is from earlier than this, even by a few days, then they won't be happy. In fact, CIC does a lot to find out about your travel after you've applied, even though it's not supposed to matter legally. So they may also be upset if they don't have the history up to the date they want it, which may be after you apply.

And it's true, as has been mentioned here, that they don't like it when you send documents that aren't requested. They don't want anybody to be able to speed up the process just by sending more stuff. For example, in the ATIP documents on Eileenf's website, it's mentioned that one applicant sent a completed RQ and 900 pages of documents with his application. What did CIC do? They sent him an RQ to fill out, but asking for information right up to the date of the new RQ.

The likely result of saying no is that they will ask you to send another history of entries, but ending at a later date.
 
Why do you feel the need to put "no" for the CBSA consent? Even if you are sending the cbsa report in your application, why not still choose "yes" For the consent? If you choose "no", it may look suspicious and they may think that you left the country right after you applied.

implication is that if CIC need to cover a different timeline which they can easily present as being needed for processing reasons they will just ask you to get the info yourself by way of an RQ - but then again they may just be impressed that you did their job for them and are saving them the hassle of contacting CBSA.
 
Dose the CBSA contain the history of entries to canada only or it contains the history when someone going abroad aslo
