Hello, I'm preparing to apply for citizenship but my family is back in home country. My child hasn't met the 1095 days of stay requirement but wince he is only 5 years old, I may be able to proceed with the application.

My questions:
  1. Should the child be in physically in Canada while I apply for Citizenship?
  2. Should the applicants (myself and my son) be physically present while the processing is in progress?
