I am currently in the process of applying for Canadian Citizenship, and I believe I have gathered all the necessary documentation. However, I am uncertain about how to answer question "During your 5-year eligibility period, did you have a valid temporary resident status before becoming a permanent resident?" in the section "Physical presence".
I have all work permits and dates listed like this:
Based on these list I am not sure about:
1. "Did you apply to extend your status" question...and next question "Date you applied to extend your status"
Maybe I applied to extend status of Young professional visa - which was followed by BOWP visa? I am not sure how all this should be entered? And because I dont have access to my online Immigration profile I am not sure when I applied to extend the status - I cant see this from emails which I received from Immigration office.
What should I track/enter this on the application?
2. Another question is how to track the gaps between different visas. Any ideas?
3. In which category do my visas fall?
I would appreciate any useful tips on this.
Happy New Year and all the best to everyone,
Rok
