Hi,
Good day to you.
I got visit visa stamped on my passport on 19 March 2019 and entered in Canada as a Visitor on 29 Jan 2020. I become PR on 29 Nov 2021, before that I have been in Canada as a Visitor since 29 Jan 2020 and have extended my visitor visa status 3 times.
I recently applied my online citizenship application on 30 OCT 2024, got and acknowledgement email on 12 Nov 2024 but today I got an email to track my application status on online tracker. I created an account to check my status and it says citizenship application cancelled.
I called IRCC, they were not able to tell me much but only think operator told me is "can not confirm the date before PR (physical presence calculator) " which seems that they are not able to confirm my dates before I become PR.
While filling citizenship application it asked me " During your 5-year eligibility period, did you have a valid temporary resident status before becoming a permanent resident?" I answered YES.
Then it asked me "Date you received the status" up on which I stated 29 Jan 2020.
Since IRCC officer doesn't mentioned me what is wrong in my information for the dates/time before PR so i am asking if you are aware of any such cases also did i mentioned the date 29 jan 2020 as correct or should i mentioned 19 March 2019 (the date i get my Canadian Visa stamped)
Please help me.
Thanks

i think the date you entered canada was correct but i notice that this issue comes up a lot, i think it's easier to count from the time you became a PR because sometimes they are not able to verify your time as a temporary resident. If possible why not wait till nov 29th? because then you will be sure that you have 3 years as a PR
Good afternoon,
I received my AOR Nov 19 along with a separate email requesting information related to my passport gap. I renewed my home country passport back in 2022 while I was there on vacation since it was due to expire in 2023. I noted this in my original application in the explanation portion of the application but am unsure why they have requested this again via email. I have replied pretty much in the same way i had already stated and don't know what more they could want. Unfortunately, i am unable to provide them with photocopies of that passport covering 2019-2022 as that passport expired and had to be returned to be destroyed at the time of renewal. I did travel during that period using that passport but included that in my calculation of days. I was only able to send photocopies of my current passport covering the last portion my 5 years presence 2022-2024. Any suggestions? I replied on Nov 19 both by email and online and haven't received anything yet.

Clarify in your reply that the expired passport was surrendered for destruction during renewal and cannot be provided. You should reiterate that all travel details were included in your application including calculation of your physical presence. Attach any supporting evidence, like a renewal receipt or travel records. After emailing them you may follow up via the web form if there’s no response within 30 days. All the best!
