Citizenship without wife

[mack1982]

We are both permanent residents of Canada And plan to move there in April 2019.
However since my wife is in the medical field she will apply for medical residency in both USA and Canada.
Now the probability is high that she will get residency in USA compared to Canada. If this happens, she will lose her Canadian PR. I will stay in Canada and comply with my RO.

Will this cause any problems later when I apply for citizenship?

Others can comment as well but there is no condition to apply for citizenship that you need to apply as a couple. As long as you Individually meet the physical presence requirement 3 out of 5 then you will be good to apply. Of course if your wife eventually loses her PR status she will only have visitor rights in Canada.

Thanks BS65.

My concern was that there would be any questions regarding my intent to live in Canada coz wife would be in US.

Intent to reside was removed with bill C6 in 2017 so you just need to focus on the physical presence 3 out of 5 before applying for citizenship.
