Hello there, I am trying to fill my Canadian Citizenship application, I just want to know if I have to mention each and every date for cross border trucking or I can just upload pdf format that provided by CBSA for all the entries in the physical absence section.

If you don't add all entries the calculation will not be proper.

You need to fill in every day that you crossed the border in the calculator application.

I have been told by one of the immigration consultant that you can just upload the pdf format of all the entries and you can also attach job letters by the employers and it should be good.

Then why did you bother to come here and ask? It sounds like you have received advice from a consultant and you want to use it to argue with advice given here. What's the point of that?

I don't want to argue with anyone, I am applying my citizenship on my own , I just need a proper advice, I don't really trust immigration consultants that much.

You have to list each of your crossings.

Yes. We used to live close to the border and did gas fillups, grocery shop and package picked up.
We have hundreds of entries. (mostly day trips)

Oh crap…. I went one day, in the morning to US and returned the same day. Should I have written that too?? I just submitted my application yesterday with 1109 days. What should I do now?

You can submit a webform if you have the application number.
If it's only 1 day, it shouldn't matter much.

 

[Kostas]

In your opinion is it recommended to send a webform or just let it go as it is only one day trip?

Better do it on your own as they will know it as part of the Physical Presence activity check and will call you for interview to clarify the discrepancy they see, even though it does not change the physical presence days calculation.

Thanks for the advice!

The guy was asking for previous experiences, I don't see the need to sound hostile.

Who is sounding hostile, apart from you, perhaps? Just questioning the approach.

This poster obviously had received on-topic advice from a consultant. Apparently, less than complete trust was accorded to that advice. In a case like that, I consider it behooves one to be forthcoming and to state at the outset that certain advice has been received from a consultant and the poster desires to test that advice here on the forum. Instead, in this case, the OP said nothing about advice already received, presumably from a professional, then he asked how the matter should be handled. Then, when confronted with an answer apparently not liked, he comes back with a retort saying, in effect "Well, so you think, but I have been advised otherwise." It comes across as less than gracious.
