question 3(Have you applied for Canadian Citizenship before?)

[jummal7]

I had invited in citizenship oath ceremony in 2015 but due to my personal circumstance, I had withdrawn my citizenship in 2015. I am planning to apply for citizenship now again. In my case, any one knows if I should check yes for question 3(Have you applied for Canadian Citizenship before?)
I've been trying to call CIC but couldn't reach them since my last call.

You did apply for Citizenship and later you withdrew your application because of your personal circumstances. So I think it should be Yes.

This is clearly `Yes`

Why in the world would you withdraw an application if you were invited to the oath? Were you in prison?

I am pretty sure you must have a very very strong reason but just curious to know why did you withdraw ?? Did you maintain your PR ?

Yes, I have PR now.

No, I had a reason to withdraw an application cause of maintaining my nationality(health issue, health coverage for me and my wife and business in my country). Withdrawal was my voluntary and personal situation.

He means you already applied before(b4) and now you are re-applying. So its Yes.

Well, yes you need to indicate you have applied before and, in fact, having previously withdrawn an application has been grounds for non-routine processing and/or RQ in the past.
