The U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand already record entry & exit movements of all travelers so Canada wants to be inline with these countries. According to the official website of Canadian government the record of entry & exit movements will be used specifically to detect temporary visa...

I am in the same boat, unfortunately CIC does not care about applicants waiting time, unfortunately there is nothing we can do, all we can do is just wait and hope for the best, I have been waiting a while since decision made, called CIC call center they told me my background check has expired...

Your best option is option number 2 which is formal withdrawal by the applicant, just download and print the form from CIC webiste and send it to your local office by expresspost, option two will save you time as rejection takes months. After you send the withdrawal form CIC will send you a...

It is always advisable to be honest with CIC in anything you declare on their applications,CIC takes any hidden information seriously and treats it as misrepresentation which will cause a big delay to any application with CIC and possibly rejectionand you also need to be very accurate in...

It is better to send the application flat, CIC would like clean and neat documents, it is cheap to buy big envelopes you can get it from Dollarama, 6 envelopes for just $1.50 something like that

Hi Abdul, when you traveled 6 days earlier through Toronto airport, to which country did you travel?

The issue with why CIC gives RQ is that CIC does not know if you really lived in Canada that long, CIC does not record exit from Canada,that is what triggers RQ, I am in the same boat waiting for my oath, good luck to all people waiting

Post your topic in the PR obligations section

You cannot count days with spouse outside for citizenship purposes, you can count only those days for PR purposes, but if you have strong evidence inside Canada that you resided here for three years then you can go ahead and wait for the decision of you application, this means you have pay...

The reason for delay maybe updating background checks as updating background checks takes some time so your background check may have been expired

Sorry to say that but CIC red flags applicants who lost there passports and think that they hide their passports,most people who lose their passports are being sent to judge hearing, you dont have any choice other than submitting a formal request to withdraw your application, you can find the...

Hi, This means that CIC is suspicious about your residency in Canada, but anyways CIC is processing the CIT0520 faster these days so just send the documents and everything will be okay, send all the paperwork they requested

As I read from some news that CIC scrutinizes specifically people who got PR through two ways either through asylum or through being spousal sponsorship, as you know the the way you got the PR is written in small letter at the back of the PR card, for example if you got your pr through Federal...

Hi Orodeshah, Let me assume you that cic is able to track entry & exit of citizenship applicants, then what is the point that CIC issues RQ if CIC already knows entry and exit of applicants? I mean CIC would just save time through checking entry and exit records from the system instead of giving...

Hi Nkam, You are welcome, I never said that I appealed my case, my citizenship got approved recently so I am waiting for the oath, I was given mini RQ before and sent them the documents CIC requested,the point is if you really lived here and have documents that prove residency then sending it...

Your future application wont be affected but only in case you have strong evidence to support your residency in the future cuz cic will have a record that you withdrew your application in the past

It depends which kind of RQ you got, there is the long one CIT0171 and the mini RQ CIT0520,and it depends what you were asked, but if you dont have any document at all which is requested by cic then you can withdraw your citizenship application and apply later when you satisfy the residency...
