You received the test invite Ten days after the ghost update, that was a long waiting. I saw many received the test invite one day after the GU
Yea but I'm least bothered about the "GUs" and frankly there's no link between these stages. I'm just relieved that my application is moving forward.

Hello
I caught a misdemeanor charge while driving in the USA with aggravated unlicensed operator 3rd degree which occurs when an individual operates a motor vehicle on public roads while knowing or having reason to know that his/her license or privilege to operate a motor vehicle is suspended or revoked. The sentence is a fine or a term of imprisonment of not more than thirty days

1 .My question is can I still apply for citizenship in Canada?
2. If yes. Should

Dont overthink ,it will be fine as Smash1984 mentioned. The work history acts as an importance evidence of your physical presence in Canada. Even though you moonlighted which seems to be your concern, your CRA filings already substantiate your work history claim. Nothing to worry about !
Thank you

Also, are we still getting RQ requests in 2022? My province of employment (BC) is different than my province of residence (AB) as my plan was to work temporarily in BC and move back to my province AB of residence where I have been most of my time in Canada. So, I kept AB as my address as I had plans to come back permanently. But now as i got an even better job in BC so I am planning to change my permanent residential address to BC. I know that it will result in transfer of my files to BC local office.

But, if anyone knows if this can be an issue or if it will result in RQ?

Most times it has to do with their names matching with someone in police database. I remember that in the PR stage they even ask information from the "5 eyes" countries, to ensure that nothing has cropped up in those countries' databases either.

Other times could be just to make sure that if there is some criminal history, it checks out etc.

P.S. Me and my wife both got FP request in the PR application. My wife also got it again in the citizenship application (May 30th paper application with my daughters), and they just told her that they received the results a few days ago. I am sure I will get it as well (I am March 5th online applicant)
