Canada
I'm applying for Candian citizenship after obtaining the PR here. I was born in India and travelled to UK for a while for work purpose. For the time in UK I held tier 2 intra-company visa. Now in the application they have asked the below question

Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)?

How do I answer this question?
Only fill my Indian citizenship information - from birth till now? OR
Should I also include the UK visa information?

There's another question

Have you ever held travel documents or passports during your 5-year eligibility period?

I did have the UK visa ( and of course, Indian passport) during this period. So I need to enter that information as well?

You enter your status as a worker for the dates you were actually in the UK.

A visa is not a travel document. You only need to enter your passports (or any type of travel document issued by India that would allow you to return to India) for the last 5 years. (If a stateless person or refugee answered this question, then they would enter any travel documents issued by their country of habitul residence in lieu of a passport).

Didn't you have an immigration status in the UK, a country? So what is your question? I believe you have answered your question.
