Applying for Citizenship and my Eligibility Period is 26/02/2013 to 26/02/2018
(i put a future date for now so i got time to complete my application this month)

In Section 9 it asks me did i ever live outside of Canada during this period. I did return back to the uk between May/2013 - Oct/2014 as it was during this time I was waiting on my CEC to come through.

So i ticked Yes and it asks me to fill in form CIT0177

Looking at this form however the header states:

"RESIDENCE OUTSIDE CANADA for adult citizenship applicants declaring residence outside canada as a crown servant or with a crown servant family member"


Now the time I was in the UK awaiting CEC I am not using it towards my physical presence calculator and I can not see anywhere on this form which applies to me to fill.

Any help?

Would the guide help?

Does not help - the whole purpose of the form seems to be to show that the time i returned to the UK during my eligibility period can count towards my days. I do not need it to or expect it too count so.....

Hi, I have the same problem now I am filling in the citizenship application. Can you remember what you did in the end - I am tempted to ignore it as, as you say, it is not at all applicable, and in fact I am unable to even fill it in as I am not / have no relationship to a crown service.

Hi Bobby,

I am facing the same problem, how did you complete yours?
I am thinking to write mentioning that CIT0177 does not apply to me because I am neither a crown servant nor a crawn servant family member.

I just ignored it. Didn't even bother to mention that I hadn't filled it in as it was self-explanatory.
