Major reasons to get an RQ:

1.) 10 years US Visa B1/B2 in your passport.

2.) Mentioning the word "Unemployed" in your citizenship application.

3.) Mentioning the word " Vacation " in your application.

4.) Mentioning the word " Homemaker " in your application.

5.) Too many US Entry Stamps in your passport.

6.) Entire family applying for citizenship in one application will trigger long processing time and RQ.

House Wife's staying at home are more likely to get RQ'S.

I don't mean to scare anyone. Just my personal opinion.

Hmmm that is discouraging as I diligently worked for it, honestly completed my time. Even my wife rejected job offer in US to complete time here. I know many people who simply cheated the system.

I guess all I can do is try , by all genuine ways!

Thanks all for your help!
So you had plans all along to leave after getting Canadian citizenship? Unfortunately/ fortunately that's exactly what CIC is trying to prevent. That's kind of cheating in a way too.

also, someone said you are 'entitled' to citizenship after living here for 3 years. I beg to differ. Nobody is 'entitled' to citizenship but one becomes eligible to apply for it. Granting citizenship is still in the hands of judges/ officers and they can deny the grant of citizenship even if you meet the minimum requirements. It is a privilege for most and should be treated as such.

I agree to the above as I got RQ because I have a work permit in the US.

I am not sure no:6 has anything to do with RQ unless the whole family traveled frequently to the US.

Hi everyone,

I am just wondering if there is somebody here who eventually received their Canadian citizenship even after moving to the US.

Thank you.

Define "moving." Packing up and severing all ties with Canada? Accepting a job in the U.S., but maintaining a residence in Canada and periodically returning? There is a lot of room for interpretation in the meaning of "moving."
