Hello guys
I am planning to apply on Aug 7,
I need your assistance regarding a question.

Has the minor been outside of Canada for a total of 730 days or more in the past five (5) years or since becoming a permanent resident?"

Key Dates:
Became a PR: June 25, 2019
Left Canada: August 13, 2019
Returned to Canada: June 23, 2022

What should I say Yes or No.

Hi @sheri268 , what did you end up doing? I'm in the same situation, started with application and keeping documents ready seeing that no residency obligation for minors under 5(2), now stuck at this question. can we still apply now, or should we wait until the child completes 730 days?

Accompanying minor child does not need to fulfill residency in canada obligation (730 days in Canada) as long as accompanying parent has completed residency in Canada obligation and is applying for citizenship along with minor (application 5(2)). My case was same and my minor child was granted citizenship along with me. You can go ahead ad submit the application for your minor child along with yours.

I also live in Ontario and my testing team was 3 and the processing office in AOR says Sydney. Can it change to Vancouver? How do we know for sure ?

My AOR was also from Sydney. I called IRCC and asked later, and realized it was changed to Vancouver.

You will need to call IRCC to find out / confirm.

@HumanOnEarth Thanks for sharing this, that’s really reassuring. Yes, we’re applying together, and I meet the RO requirements. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
