    Why CIC ask this question????

    If the child was staying out of country for more than six months, probably he is not schooled in Canada. If this indicates to schooling abroad, there may be longer stays and chances of not maintaining valid PR status. Minors are not subject to the language, residence and knowledge requirements...

    Citizenship application - Critical and very important Tips from Experience

    I agree with you, know some people who got RQd (they expected too) as you said. If there is some thing odd in your case, sending everything above/random docs will not help anything... I kept it simple, added nothing extra said above. Never asked any additional docs during the process or at...

Expressing his opinion is a right, not a prohibited sin in Canada guys, you don't have to sink this low...

    After applying citizenship can I go for foreign studies ?

    Replicating to dave3000's comment on e-cas update I will add further: Remember that you have to attend a personal interview, a segment associated with test now. In most case what they ask ("...any travels?...) and do is checking the passport and verifying any stamps/travels during or after your...

    Citizenship interview

    Not sleeping tonight will not alter the decision on your case. So take it easy, be relaxed and wait for their call. I wish you a good and happy outcome but recent reports on short of residency cases are not very encouraging. It is apparent that you made some gross error or negligence while...

    Recent applicants from downtown or Gta which office file went to ?

    You're welcome. My case was very straight forward, nothing much to declare or needed explanations. People I met on test day was similar too. If you have a simple case, expect your test date very shortly.
