Hi

I will able to apply for citizenship soon and have to leave Canada for a few months after application.

As you already know that one of the trigger for RQ is about recent entry into the country just before the exam. Is there anybody can suggest for this case? I mean, how long period would be safer to come back to Canada before the exam in order to avoid RQ

Thank you

You are not going to avoid it. RQ is likely to be issued if you left after you submitted your application. This is to help prevent / help reduce fraud from those who stayed outside Canada long enough to come back to get citizenship.

The CiC officer will examine your passport while you write the test and see that you have recently came back before the test. It will be completely up the the agent to decide whether or not to issue you an RQ.
