Residence Questionnaire Before Test

[steeles]

I was unemployed most of time for the last 4 years (financially sufficient though..but keep looking
jobs nowadays and taking certificate courses from school) and
got a Residence Questionnaire before the test.
I prepare necessary documents as I can (it seems it's not enough documents than I thought)
and recently submit it anyway instead of withdrawing the application.
I sent Notice of Assessment even if I have almost no income.

The thing is I rented a room and paid by cash, but don't have a receipt but I have confirmation letter
from the landlord. Will this be helpful? (I don't have all letters from all landloards though..some landloard are not owning their house and some landloard left Canada)

For the proof of residencey in Canada, I also submit bank statment for the last 5 years (relevent period is 4 year but I submit bank statment by recent month and I paid lots of money to have this!)
and other membership card as well.

I met 1095 days of physical presence in Canada before I apply citizenship. Also have accurate entry and exit date to prove.
No criminal record and never had a credit problem.

My questions is..

1. Pre-test RQ with unemployment will be a serious problem when it judges to Citizenship?

2. Bank Statement will help a lot to prove residency in Canada for citizenship?

Yes, as un-employment will always trigger alerts...you must have had aot of savings to support yourself for 4 years...
You need other activity, were you a part of an organization etc...
You paid rent in Cash (thats a bad idea) as there is no paper trail for your stay at the residence...Landlord letter may be in-admissable...

2. Bank Statement will help a lot to prove residency in Canada for citizenship?
Bank stmts are not a strong proof of residence...anyone can transact on your account in your absence (with your debit card/pin + signed cheques)

Just provide as much documentation as possible...
Hope the CJ make a decision in your favour.

All the Best!
