Could visiting China/Hong Kong for the first time possibly cause delays on a future citizenship application?

Hi!

I hear horror stories of PR Applications taking 2+ years that just get stuck in processing forever, many people say visiting or being from a country with a delicate political situation could be the cause.

Do you think visiting China and Hong Kong for the first time could potentially cause a future citizenship application to be put into extra scrutiny and cause delays?

For normal simple and relatively short visits, unlikely. Your six month language training in Pyongyang might get some extra scrutiny, though.

I see. Yes, it would be a week visit at most.
