For anyone that is going to apply this month, don't forget to download the latest Application form.

I had one saved from a few months ago and it was already outdated. I was asking some general questions to CIC and they pointed out I had an outdated version of the form. The latest is Oct 2016.

Hi,

I am in the process of applying on March,2017. currently i am working on my application and I have a question.

- In the part where I should mention the address in Canada and overseas, should i mention the addresses of the places i stayed at during trips outside Canada or only my Canadian addresses? and what if some of my trips were like 3 months long?

- for year 2011 i was out of Canada since the end of 2010, so in my online calculator the count will start from march,2011. Should i mention the exit date on 2010 or just put the start date of the calculation as the exit date?

Thanks.

Yes, got email.
Congrats!

I got my AOR via email today as well.

Looks like I have the same timeline as @Saugan.

Does anyone know how long it takes for the status of the application to appear online on ecas after the AOR? I checked now and it still says it can't find me.

Thanks

1. I listed all my addresses both inside and outside Canada (even hotels etc)
2. Personally, I just put the dates that fall inside the 6 year period they asked for. I had older dates from 2004 and 2009 I didn't include during which I studied and lived in Canada but didn't include as they fall outside of the eligibility period. If you want to include them to be extra careful you can

Thanks a lot for your reply. I am confused now, because i called the CIC line and they told me if the application is saying address inside Canada then you only have the list the ones in Canada. you only list addresses outside if you have lived, studied, or worked outside.

personally i prefer listing all the addresses, but i don't know if this is right??

can i know if someone who has already got the citizenship did the same as "EddyIT"
