Schengen Applicant Form: Question on Residence Status

Schengen Applicant Form: Question on Residence Status - Crop anonymous female filling questionnaire when applying for job sitting in employer office

Field 18 on the Schengen Visa Form inquires as follows:

Residence in a country other than the country of current nationality: No Yes. Residence permit or equivalent ................. No. ................... Valid until .................

Our status is as follows: We were issued PR cards by Canada last year, but we still haven't moved and reside in our country of nationality.

Should I still fill in YES, so as to give card details since NO has no corollary question?



Best Answer

The question asks for your current, actual residence.

However, if you're planning to move to Canada, then in the nature of things your ties to your home country are going to be weak. It will probably help your chances to enclose documentation of the Canadian PR anyway, even though you answer "no" to that particular question. Having legal access to an affluent country like Canada is an excellent reason why it wouldn't be economically attractive for you to become an illegal immigrant in a Schengen country.
