I applied for citizenship after 2 years of PR as I was a student for 2 years before that so I got half time 2+2/1 = 3. I was told they check passport for stamps and confirm dates, I had like bundle of 5 passports with stamps on stamps, and I was like they will really check this? but I was concerned about this major blunder made my Montreal CBSA officer.
As a student I went to the US on Vacation in Aug 2000 ( stamped on PP ) for 1 week, when I re-entered Canada, the officer stamped it as Sept, 2001 - I realized this much later as you can't imagine an immigration officer making such a mistake. This haunted me before citizenship and I was on these forums ( infact users like PMM were there ) and they said there is no way to verify stamps as errors can be made.
I was like this error makes me look I was out of Canada for 1 year and I have to gather evidence to show I was here
So on the day of citizenship, no one asked me anything, I went upto citizenship lady who was so casual, she was like "oh thats ok but I appreciate your honesty. It was so funny, desi aunties were cheating in the test
Moved to BC 2 weeks after that, got license swapped in 3 days and passport took like 6 days. It so quick here, got license renewed a lazy tuesday afternoon under 2 minutes - didn't know citizenship took that long ( kandel )
