History of Immigration and Citizenship Status (Online Citizenship Application)

[felipeoxavier]

Hi all,

In the History of Immigration and Citizenship Status section of my online application, should I include any trips I took to other countries while on vacation?
For example, I travelled to the US for tourism and stayed 5 days a couple years ago . Should I include this short trip and select "Visitor" as the status?

Thank you all in advance.

Based on the citizenship instruction guide on IRCC website, you don't need to report visitor status for this question. See the part in bold:

Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada (e.g. your country of birth)

• Check either yes or no.
• If you check yes, complete the chart.
• Tell us which countries you have held status in, and exactly what status you held or currently hold (student, employment/worker, refugee/protected person, permanent resident or citizen).
• Date you obtained each status(YYYY-MM-DD)
• End date if no longer valid, if applicable (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave blank if you currently hold this status
