Hello All, I am asking the question on behalf of a friend and really appreciate any insights you may share.
Background:
1. The parent is a Canadian citizen currently living outside of Canada for a job opportunity.
2. The child is a landed immigrant and Canadian PR, under 18 years old.
3. The child is currently living in Canada.
Question:
1. If the child wants to apply for Canadian citizenship under 5(2), does the parent (Canadian citizen) need to move back to Canada during the application process? Or, it would be no issue to being out of the country?
2. When applying through 5(2), the child is not subject to the 1095 days requirement, i.e. the child can apply at any time in terms of the residence days?
3. Can the child leave Canada, after the 5(2) application is filed and under processing, as long as the PR status would be well maintained?
