Hey! Has anyone messaged IRCC if has been out of the country for more than two weeks after submitting the citizenship application? I am currently visiting my family abroad and my stay will take more than two weeks.
Curious if I should contact them via the web form though I am not expecting anything following the current timeline of online applications, if there is any progress it will be later when I am already back in Canada.

If I were you I wont, as its just '2' weeks, if planning on staying beyond '6' months then I would consider it as its when you will get a FP request.

you can never come back if you want as long as you manage to keep your pr status.
and also as long as they accept your outside oath and test.

Fake. Fingerprints are only requested for criminal record checks within Canada, not in other countries, therefore has nothing to do with being outside of Canada any length of time.
