my new theory is that if you lived in multiple address before (I lived like 10 address due to co-op program), it takes much longer to verify...is that your case too?

I had 4 address in my eligibility period, first 3 address were just for the first 12 months, then the same one ever since. Didn't seem to help
That's a good news. I also sent a form to CIC today, maybe I should call instead.
I also think this is why my application is taking so long.. I moved quite a bit when I was in college.
If not present in US with a I-94 (I am not), then the record needs to be ordered from foia.gov.
This takes a long time at present (months).
The reason the IRCC requests this US report from people who have spent a more significant period of time in the US is that they want to cross-check the record with their own CBSA entry/exit report with the US to more firmly verify the PRECISE number of days the applicant was present in Canada and, therefore, verify the applicant qualifies to apply for Canadian citizenship.
As far as I can tell, they are in no hurry to make this verification once the documents are received in their office. They will never be accused of efficient processing of the application package. But I believe they will eventually complete their assigned task and approve the application.
