MARCH Applicant for citizenship March , 2017

[EddyIT]

Looks like April and May were deleted too. Can whoever created the document recover or reverse edits?

@imran01 is the spreedsheet owner.

Can you please recover it?

I have a backup that's about 2 months old....I can recover it but we will lose 2 months worth of data

Check out this spreadsheet. You can click at the bottom on the relevant month to see how much time it took:

no acknowledgment up until the moment.

now that the sheet has been deleted, i can't figure out the approximate time.

also will they receive the acknowledgement and their e-case will be updated all together? or each one alone?

Thanks.

We're only missing February and I'll work on recovering that. Everything else is just fine.

It's more about phrasing rather than content. Let's say, what Canadians remember on November 11? answer could be not only "Remembrance Day" but also "people fallen in wars for Canada"
If you thoroughly read Discover Canada, nothing to worry about.

thank you so much

I restored Feb 2017 using the backup I had. The backup is from mid-April, so we might have some data points that still need updating

Hi everyone!
I called CIC call centre a few times since I applied (3or 4 times) the last time I called the agency asked me ( are you worried of something because you called a few times? Every time I called I had a question or concern. Do you think my process delay for a reason?

is it possible for you to add me up in February applicants \
thank you

Guys, something is all wrong with the file again. In Feb, its written rejected everywhere and in March, for my application there are dates there that I did not put. Could be same for other people. Someone is really being very mean.

Lol, what a sad life someone must live to troll a citizenship forum spreadsheet. Until this gets solved or the person gets bored, just post your updates on here. I can pretty much tell you though, if you're in Mississauga, it's not moving anywhere anytime soon it seems.

Can you tell me how many days? Thanks.

The intent to reside is different from physical residence. Going for a brief vacation abroad during the application process, and return back to Canada for work or residence should not constitute as lack of intention to reside. This is clarified by CIC in a note box as below:

Note: The intent to reside requirement must not be confused with the residence/physical presence requirement. The latter requires that an applicant must reside/be physically present for a certain period of time in Canada before applying for citizenship.

You will see this paragraph if you complete the reading:

@tameraq @Stef..

Here is the official CIC website talking about this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/cit/grant/residence/intention.asp

Here is the quote:

"For brevity, throughout this program delivery instruction, the term “intent to reside” will be used to refer to the intentions referred to in paragraphs 5(1)(c.1) and 11(1)(e) of the Act.

Subsection 5(1.1) of the Act states that for the purposes of paragraphs 5(1)(c.1) and 11(1)(e), the person’s intention must be continuous from the date of their application until they have taken the Oath of Citizenship.

Officers will be assessing the applicant’s intention if granted citizenship (i.e., what the applicant intends to do after becoming a citizen). Applicants must hold this intention to reside if granted citizenship from the time they sign their application to the time they take the Oath. The intent to reside is required to obtain citizenship but no longer applies once citizenship is granted. Once citizenship is granted, a citizen has the right to enter, remain in, and leave Canada as guaranteed by the Charter."

I would recommend being very very careful with this issue

I think you are safe. The intent to reside is different from physical residence. Going for a brief vacation abroad during the application process, and returning back to Canada for work or residence should not constitute as lack of intention to reside. This is clarified by CIC in a note box as below:

Note: The intent to reside requirement must not be confused with the residence/physical presence requirement. The latter requires that an applicant must reside/be physically present for a certain period of time in Canada before applying for citizenship.

You can read this paragraph from link below in the blue box:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/cit/grant/residence/intention.asp

Thanks for the explanation and the link Eddy. I understand your point that it is not worth it to leave while application is in process. but I already booked a flight to visit my folks while my application will be still in process. I get you that applicant must hold the intention to reside until he/she takes the oath, but if I go on my annual vacation for 3 weeks does that mean I have no intention to reside in Canada. if the officer asks me why did you leave for 3 weeks while your application was in process i will simply say that i went on my annual vacation. Can he say Oh this means that you do not intend to reside in Canada! It could happen I guess if i had to deal with a pain in the butt officer.
