Thank you so much for a well-needed video. I am having a problem with question 10A on the citizenship application, it is not validating because it's saying that my address history is missing days or periods. I have done a lot of traveling outside of Canada but I still have enough days that's needed to apply. My form is not validating because I need more columns in 10. a I have used up all 30 slots. Do you have any advice on how I can submit my application without it being validated or how can I enter in the missing days or periods of time within my application. Your help concerning this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

[@1jyotirmoy]

Your guide as well as IRCC website mentions the following rule - "Remember that you must submit your application within 60 days of starting it. After 60 days your application will be deleted and you’ll have to start all over again." I created my application on 30th October, 2022 (well over 60 days now). I haven't submitted it yet. I'm still able to login, review and change all the information in my application form without any issue. Should I submit the same application since I am able to access it. Or should I create a new application which I 'm not sure I'll be allowed to since I have an active one that's not deleted yet.

This rule started in Nov 2022. They won't deleted the applications started before that. So you can continue with your application.
