Definitely doesn't. I left 2 days after eligibility for a job offer, all has been approved now and am just waiting for the oath date email. I was honest, told them I was abroad, and it didn't hold my application up either.
Thank you for your input and Congratulations on Oath Ceremony, Just one question, Did you inform IRCC that you were away during the process?
I didn't, but did once I was asked. I didn't leave till after I had applied, so it only was needed when they were scheduling the test (which you can do abroad).
I did. I informed them when they scheduled the test. I changed my Canadian address to one of a friend. When I had my interview (also on Zoom), the agent said this wasn't a problem, it was only an issue for the oath. He did grill me on what I would do if I was scheduled in, say, 3 days. I said I would fly back, even though that would suck as it would be expensive, as this means a lot to me. He said that's all very well, and he will approve my application and put me for the next available oath ceremony.
I can totally understand your situation and can imagine myself too in the same boat in coming 8-10 months, but I am sure this all would be worth it once you get your passport issued, I just have one question I have lived in Canada for 1095 days start from 2020-2023 and my 5 years period starts and end from 2020-2025, that means I have fulfilled the obligation within first 3 years (for PR and Citizenship) right ?, please correct me If I am wrong
No, I did not.
You're correct. Please add a day or two more before you apply.
Generally speaking my understanding is that anything outside of PR is counted as a half day, which is then capped at 365 days (so if you did two years on a working holiday visa you would only get 1 year in citizenship days). PR is counted as full days. So you either need 3 years on PR or 2 years on PR and 2 years on another visa, e.g. working holiday visa.
