Going back home
- Thread starter aysi
- Start date
You do have an option to postpone the oath if you have a good reason like being in another country but if you do, they will re-schedule your oath at their convenience, not yours. You might be asked to attend again before it is convenient for you or you might have to wait a long time.
You should let CIC know that you are moving so they know where to contact you.

No..for oath he doesn't need to come...during our test examiner declared that if you are gonna travel after test and before oath don't delay it for oath coz we can reschedule your oath but if you miss your trip after it takes time to get your card...this is what i heared from her..but i think you have to give exam first rather than oath if you r gonna stay there atleast a year...hoe come oath come first than test,,,so we should discuss about his test first..your test come after a year when did you apply if you just apply then don't worry...even during your stay if you find your test date , inform them by email to consulate they will forward your email then they will reschedule....don't worry...but a year,,,cross your finger that you will get only one or two invitation of your test during it..

Unfortunately, this is EXACTLY what the immigration office is trying to prevent - scenarios where people get the citizenship and leave to their home country. If you can leave Canada for a year, that means your life-center is not in Canada (work, apartment, family and so on).
So you are walking a tight rope here... consult an immigration specialist...

What is wrong with that? Why is it unfortunate?? If naturally born Canadians can leave Canada to another country then what is wrong with naturalized Canadians leaving? As long as they have met their residency obligations according to the law, then they are free to do what ever they want. It is not compulsory for them to stay here.

What's the whole point of immigration process, if you go back to your own country? what kind of immigration is this? All you do is exploit the benefits and do not contribute to Canada. During the Lebanon war, Canada had to rescue many "Canadians" living in Lebanon (basically, people who went through immigration process, got a passport, and went back to live in Lebanon). This cost us (the tax payers) $94M.
This person is not a natural born Canadian, and therefore he needs to demonstarte that his life-center is in Canada. This is reality in immigration process all over the world. Being a citizen is more than just owning a passport. It's about contributing to Canada and being an integral part of it.

If you want people that immigrate here not to ever leave, then make it a requirement that they stay 30 years as a PR before they become citizens. Another option, is make it for all Canadians to pay taxes on income where ever they are (like it is in the US).
Do you know that there are naturally born Canadians also living permanently in several parts of the world?? Like in the US and in Europe or in the carribeans. I am talking about folks that were actually born in Canada and grew up in Canada. Why is it OK for them to leave and it is not OK for naturalized citizens?? As long as they are not breaking the law they are fine to do whatever they like. Jeez!

Dude, you are missing the whole point.
1. The compare to natural born Canadians is irrelevant.
2. People who would like to become Canadian need to make more efforts than someone who was born here. That's life.
You can agree or not - that's your prerogative and I respect that. But CIC has rules and checking the motives behind the application for citizenship is one of them. Making sure you will not flee to your home country as soon as you get your passport is another. If you cannot see the problem with that - then I can't find another way to explain it to you.
Canada is interested in Immigration, not Emigration.

I think you are the one missing the point. People immigrate for different reasons - economic, family, wars, weather etc. Thesame reasons that make people come to Canada is the same reasons that make people go back. If you read the original post by aysi, he wanted to go back home for a year because he has FAMILY PROBLEMS. What's wrong with that??
Myself I came to Canada for economic reasons but that does not mean that I am completely going to forget where I came from. If I so wish, I can decide one day I don't want to live in Canada any more and I want to go back to my home country. What is wrong with that?? I might even decide I don't want to go back to my home country and that I want to go somewhere else... say Australia... for God's sake what is wrong with that?? It's my choice, it is your choice where we all decide to stay at certain times of our lives (AS LONG AS WE DOING IT LEGALLY AND ARE NOT BREAKING THE LAW).
CIC does not have any rules checking motives... unless you are a PR. and that is understandable because the the word says PERMANENT resident so you ought to be permanently here. However, if you meet obligations to be a citizen, CIC CAN NEVER and would NEVER deny you of getting your citizenship. It is the law and Canada is a country of laws. If you don't like the way the law is currently, then try to change it.

Regardless the status of this person, he/she doesn't have to be living in Canada in order to make contribution. As long as this person files and pay his taxes owed to Canada Revenue Agency, he is contributing to Canada.
