Yes you can. It looks very bad especially if you spend long periods of time there but you don’t Risk re-availment. If you renewed your home country passport and/or visited your home country before getting citizenship that can be brought up again.

So you BECAME PR on December 2017? You applied on December 2019? I am no expert but any day BEFORE you received your positive decision is not counted for citizenship purposes. Are you sure you have 3 full years of physically being in Canada?

It takes quite a lot of time to go through the citizenship process. Sometimes over a year. Were you a protected Person for 2 years? If not you don’t qualify for citizenship yet.

If you fail both tests you get a hearing. If you can’t satisfy the officer you meet the conditions of citizenship, your application will be rejected.

It is not a hard test if you can understand and read a English or a French and study a bit. How old is the person taking the test?
