Hello,
I moved form the US to Canada around 3 years ago and now I am eligible to apply for my citizenship. I was there first as a student and then on H1B. I am not sure how to put that information in the application. Has someone from the states have filled in the citizenship application? If yes, can you guide me through what needs to be done for filling this information in?
This is what has happened in my case
I got my student visa (F1) in India on June 2011 but I landed in US in Aug 2011. So, in this case what should I answer for the question below? Will my status start be 06/11 or 08/11?
Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada, including your country of birth.

Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada, including your country of birth.
- Check either yes or no.
- If you check yes, complete the chart.
- Tell us which countries you have held status in, and exactly what status you held or currently hold (student, employment/worker, refugee/protected person, permanent resident or citizen).
- Provide the month and year (MM/YY) that you obtained each status.
- If your status is no longer valid, provide the month and year (MM/YY) your status ended. If you still hold this status, indicate “current”.
