    Leaving Canada after applying for citizenship. What to do with CRA, child benefit, taxes and driving licence?

    I think this the answer to your exact question is on the cic site, see the link below. In short, you can leave but just make sure you do not lose your PR status before the oath which means do not stay more than 3 years abroad in last 5 years. Nothing about maintaining 1095 days citizenship...

    CAIRO VISA OFFICE

    As you mentioned, it is case by case and no one knows how the VO decides on each case, many sponsorship applicants were not asked for an interview and their application moved quickly. I always thought that only newly married couples with no kids are the ones who get asked for interviews. But...

    Leaving with a two days buffer of PR obligation

    OK. Let me clarify. I know some cases of people entered Canada with a few days/weeks of residence just before the PR card expires sometimes with PR card expiring in a few days and still entered Canada without being reported. The important thing is they stayed for 730 and then applied for a new...

    Leaving with a two days buffer of PR obligation

    The big question is your PR card currently valid or not? If it is valid, I would recommend traveling to Canada as soon as possible. If the PR is valid, the chance of you being asked any questions at the border gets reduced significantly. If you are entering Canada with your kids/family, it means...

    Leaving with a two days buffer of PR obligation

    You asked for advice from experience. Here is my experience, if your PR card is valid, the border officer will not check for RO unless something happens that raises his suspections. For example, if you tell them you were working/studying abroad or you were away from Canada for long time (years)...

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    With all respect to all the lengthy legal arguments flying around in this thread. This issue is more political than legal. Immigration is more of a political issue than a legal issue. Immigration laws passed by elected officials, not by judges whose job is just to interpret the laws. So...
