I am so sorry,,,to tel you that you can be a simple victim of a racist CO. People from north Africa and middle east are very vulnerable to that kind of conduct due to their values and backgrounds....most of immigrant can be victims every were ,,,,but the most targeted group in these days are ( middle eastern and north African
one of my classmate and one of my friend both got RQ , one from Egypt the other one from Iran, one of them never leave the country since he came to Canada, always working or studying. I am reading this forum and I cant find an answer for him why he got RQ only ....
It is sad, just sad!

I don't believe that RQs are given based on race, colour or religion. Anyone from any country can get a RQ, that includes Americans. Just because two of your friends that happen to be from Egypt and Iran received RQs does not indicate racism.springtime said:
My sister who is originally from the Middle East is still a PHD student and yet received her citizenship no problem. Another friend of hers declared that she has left Canada to pursue studies in her home country (Medicine in the Middle East) still received her citizenship. Just my opinion

Federal Court case law shows a significant number of 'residence issues (read misrepresentation)' related Citizenship Applications have an ME background be it the applicant is from the region or is employed in the region. In contrast I haven't seen any FC decision (not that there may not be one) where racism was proven as the reason for rejection. RQ issuance is primarily based on a triage criteria - ethnicity, background etc isn't on the list...sorry! Maybe you can clarify what you mean by their ''values and backgrounds'' so we can better understand how a CO and the CJ would use this in their decision making.Montrosco said:
1. CIT171 10/2013 requires documentary evidence covering only the 4 year qualifying period.tovaritch said:
2. CIT171 09/2012 requires documentary evidence covering the time from 'arrival' - usually this is more than 4 years.
CIC seemed to have started issuing CIT 171 (10/2013) in November 2013 then withdrew it as RQd applicants in 2014 are still getting the CIT171 (09/2012) version. There was some discussion around the difference and the rational for this across several immigration forums.
My take which seemed to have some resonance is that the CIT171 (10/2013) version indicates/ supports a physical presence residence test review/approach by CIC/CJ. The CIT171 (09/2012) version would be helpful/supportive of a non physical presence residence test. This especially where the applicant applied right at the 1095 mark and it turned out there was an error in the day count or there was difficulty in proving the declared days (e.g. you are self employed). It was my opinion then and still now that refusing an application where CIT171 (10/2013) was used gives the applicant a chance at apeal before the FC since the FC can deem the appeal has merit on a point of law. Until the Citizenship Act is amended then both non physical presence and physical presence residence tests will continue to be used.
As a student you don't have to show up at school/ college/ university for a significant portion of the year. What was your actual total attendance number of days that could be proven? Further how do you prove attendance at your institution? Did you work during your vacation? Only full time work can close this line of inquiry off. You are best to obtain the records of movement from the countries you traveled to - they may make the difference at CJ hearing.
