Where to enter the short visits?

[rizcom123]

Hi Experts or Members,

My question is I went to England for 6 months, within that six months I went to France for 5 days and Dubai for 3 days, do I need to declare the address in France and Dubai or Just enter the England address in the 4 years address history in Citizenship Application?

For Example:

Departed to England from Canada 1st of June 2011 and Came back to Canada from England 1st Dec 2011 (While I was in England I went to France and Dubai for eight days and came back to England)

Also in the resident calculator, do I have to mention all these in and out of different countries? Please advise....

Thanks

Hi rizcom123,

1st option : Logically, if your 8 days absence (france and dubai) were in the timeframe of the absence declared for england, you don't need to declared. but what you can do is write a letter to explain it. Or you can just explain to the CIC agent during the interview after the test. CIC need your absences days from Canada not from england.

2nd option : Cut your england absence like this

1st june to X date -> england address
X date Y date -> France address
W date to Z date -> dubai address
ZZ date to 1s dec -> england address.

I think the option are the same, as far as you declared 6 months of absence form Canada. Because CIC is checking your physical presence on Canada.

Any more suggestions please..

Please also advise if one travelled to another country for a month or two do the person need to declare in the address history in the last 4 years. (I mean obviously declared in the Resident Calculator but what about in the Address history)?


Thanks

if you go through online residence calculator you will find below note written.

Note: If you visited more than one country during the same absence, list the first country in 'Destination' and list the other countries in the 'Reason' field.

You may not mention in addresses but, I think should provide detail in Online residence calculator.

Thanks

Well, my family visited there home country for 45 days, I haven't mention the addresses in the form, because this visit was for pleasure and during this period my home address was always canada address so I did not felt that I should mention that address.

How were you in Dubai and/or France, when you were in England? lol....

Yes, you have to put them all. If you do not and you have passport stamps the immigration officer might think you were trying to hide something.
Best to put all the trips including when you were in France and went to other countries.

cic does not distinguishes travels for pleasure or pressure, i think you should mention all addresses when you were not in Canada... say if you have a house in Canada, your home address will be Canada but you when you are in USA for a visit/work for 2 weeks, then your address is USA... that is how I did mine... you are always safe in doing it this way...

 

[rizcom123]

I really appreciate you advises Canadap, Dejaavu, and Sept15. Now I got a basic idea of what to do.

Thanks
