Yes presently if a Canadian does not live at least six month in Canada in a calendar year no mandatory tax filing is required while US changed law to enforce as mandatory for citizens who lives overseas. But, recently CRA changed its foreign asset verification form with more details for...

Being a new Canadian, I don't feel it is a big deal of taking oath to the Queen which is simply a symbolic. Since 1500s till the USA was separated in 1800s the entire North America was mostly ruled by British. Also British did develop the vast place of entire North. Still Canada is most liberal...

I was in the same hall taking oath sitting on no: 8 at 2nd row close to window.. Yes the judge was non English. I believe he is an immigrant or from Quebec.. not sure he seems more comfortable in french.. Not much people taking oath these days in a slot.. there was 80 +/- only..

Yes, which is totally conflicting between contents of new law and new application form. I am having hard time to understand why CIC just printed the new application form with different wording under Intend clause.. Could it be their typo mistake or just they changed their mind knowingly to...

Well, by clicking YES and an applicant is empowering CIC on to administrative steps if CIC thinks the person has lied.. So, charter of rights is there but CIC may say to an individual who will be living abroad permanently..hey.. You said you will reside once Citizenship is Granted but we found...

I don't think CIC will go after to those genuine people who found good job in overseas for specific period or re located for study and came back to Canada after certain period where their intention is clear to live in Canada. CIC will only look for individuals who got their citizenship under the...

Yes this will be another potentiality for new citizens who will be looking bride in near future.. They should see their value of Canadian citizenship went high in their homeland as in coming decade very few people will taste Canadian citizenship compare to last decade..

As per your residency calculator came out on the day your signed you met 1095 days residency requirement which looks fine for your case. However, your wife did not meet the basic requirement which will be decided by Judge and upon her convincing proof at the time she faces judge. As you...

Majority of white Canadians are favour of halt the immigration flow for some time. They middle class white colour job Canadian blaming immigrants for high house price in Toronto and Vancouver. They believe new immigrants are coming with money and buying house with over asking price so they are...

Whatever the law says does not matter in this regard. Under the new application form, CIC is just asking whether you will be residing inside Canada or not"If Citizenship is Granted". Obviously you will say YES.. That means you are committing yourself to be in Canada once your are citizen no...

This video from July, 2014 when minister was asked to clarify but under the new form where Intend clause has extensive clarification totally differs from minister's statement. So, if we go by rule of law we have to take as CIC official stand which form says and an applicant has to click YES...

PR who moved to other province might not be in trouble as they living inside Canada and CIC may not feel greater interest to go after them. However, CIC's intention is clear for citizenship. If an applicant is willing to agree the terms of the new citizenship rule specially under Intend to...

Yes, not following these 2 condition CIC easily can cancel the citizenship. CIC elaborately explained in these two clause and an applicant has choice whether they want to take citizenship and will maintain the above clause or just don't apply if not able to maintain any of above clause...

I don't think vast majority of the new applicants should be panic for this Intent clause. CIC will only target for very small percentage who has other plans in their mind..

Just adding with you.. INTENTS clause might in force on certain individuals who CIC will be targeting..

Well, if they leave to spend a vacation in overseas will not be a issue when they will re enter Canada but they plan to make Canada as 2nd home while 1st home overseas there is a reasons to be scared..

I agree with you. Intend clause clearly means: AFTER GRANTING or BECOME A CITIZEN not DURING THE APPLICATION PROCESS. Here is big big difference in terms of wording interpretation. In my view, CIC may look at those future citizens who will in fact live in other countries mostly and will visit...

The Intention clause is added with some purpose of CIC but in reality what this means to the future citizens those who mostly will live outside remain to be see in coming years... In the meantime, plain interpretation of the this clause in plain English means: by ticking YES an applicant is...

Well, if you carefully analyze the new application form's condition imposed that is what I suspect CIC is trying to do.. If poorer people filed taxes all these years and satisfy CIC they will get Citizenship but may not be a straight forward case.. CIC surely has internal reasons to include...

I find members are giving different opinion and some are confused and mixing up what Minister said about this. Some are quoting it is for those who will apply and live abroad during processing.. BUT.. the reality is the new application clearly says: IF CITIZENSHIP GRANTED means this rule will...
