Question 9. b) period did you have Temporary Resident or Protected Person status in Canada before becoming a permanent resident?

Hello Experts,

I am having some confusion to answer this question:

9. b) During your five (5) year eligibility period did you have Temporary Resident or Protected Person status in Canada before becoming a permanent resident?
Before becoming a PR holder, I had a Visitor Visa (V`1) and I did visit Canada. To explain my situation, let me present it in a Chorological order:

• Visitor V-1 validity: Feb 2017 to March 2022
  • Visited Canada for 1 month in September 2017
• 5 year eligibility period for my Citizenship Application: April 2016 to April 2021

While filing information in under Question 9

Status (e.g. Visitor, student, worker, temporary resident permit holder, or protected person)	Date your status was obtained/ effective (YYYY-MM-DD)	Date your status expired (YYYY-MM-DD)
This would be Visitor or Temporary Resident Permit Holder?	This would be the date I landed in September 2017 ? or the date my Visa was issued (Feb 2017)?	This would be the date I exited Canada in September 2017 or the date my Visa is expiring (March 2022)

Please help me with this confusion. Thanks a lot guys!

Hi,

Oh yes, I just saw the October 2020 is a different form. I was using an older version.
Thanks for pointing this out. I will use the revised form.
