I phoned CIC to clarify some of the requirements and questions in the Adult Citizenship application. I thought it would just be worth sharing what I found out here, though as we know the clarity of responses from CIC can leave a lot to be desired!
-----------
As many are aware, question 6.f. has this vague requirement around work records.
I mentioned to her that many people have suggested T4s and NOA, to which she responded with something similar to "oh yes, those as well". Basically, I see it as they don't want to be seen as explicitly requesting T4s and NOAs (given C-24), but it's open to interpretation. Given that I am including all of the above, but probably just my most recent payslip!
-----------
Question 6.f. again, both my partner and I have parental leave where we returned to our existing jobs. The CIC representative said this could be shown as:
-----------
Question 6.g., if you do have a child under school age enter the details (name, birth etc) and put N/A in the table for the education history and check the Child is not at school age box. The representative also said to add a statement in a cover letter to the same effect.
-----------
In summary, the main thing the CIC representative seemed focussed on was including a Cover Letter with additional details for the questions that could potentially be queryable.
I hope this helps

- Reference letter from employer

Question 6.f. again, both my partner and I have parental leave where we returned to our existing jobs. The CIC representative said this could be shown as:
- 3 rows in the work history, i.e. your dates with the employer before and after parental leave, with the parental leave entry in between (where you must specify the exact dates) or
- One continuous entry for your employer from start date to end date, with details of the parental leave in a cover letter
