Hello all,
I submitted my application back in April. My application is pretty straight forward but I had area of concern. I have had a lot of absences from Canada over the past few years. Mostly a few days at a time but they add up. The reasons are valid ones - I travel for my Canadian employer on business, I visit family in the US (especially recently because my parents are getting old) and because I was in a long distance relationship with a girl from the US. I say "was" because she is now my wife and I sponsored her to Canada where were are together now. but anyway, due to those reasons I listed a lot of travel outside Canada. Now when I submitted my application, I met the 1095 days in 4 years requirement but I'm curious if all the travel will raise red flags and delay the application? Anyone have any experience on this?

thanks

I would not worry. RQ can be issued to anyone whether they traveled extensively or not. As long as you can meet the 1095 days and you can prove that you should be fine.
