i think they make sure u just live here...doesnt matter wat u do
On what basis are you saying that they are lying ?? Don't call someone a liar if you don't know anything about them. Peace
Note: please ignore the troll posts which are a distraction -- there are substantive issues of actual significance for some applicants related to questionnaires.
First, in this post I will address the process more generally and, for the most part, focus on how this kind of information is important and helpful.
I obviously overlooked earlier reporting from alsaour which similarly referred to the previous version of this form, and which is another relatively recent report of a QC -- RQ:
One of the questions I have is whether this is entirely separate from what I would describe as for-cause questionnaires.
As I previously observed, the most recent copy of the Residence Questionnaire form I have is the CIT 0171 (07-2014) E version. It makes more sense to me that this form, which is titled "Residence Questionnaire," has been replaced by a form titled "Physical Presence Questionnaire," since qualifying for citizenship has been based on a physical presence requirement since June 2015, NOT a residency requirement. Unfortunately, as I previously noted, many reports in a forum like this tend to be imprecise and the terminology used tends to lag behind the changes made (we continue to see references to communications from and actions by "CIC" even though it has been approximately two years since CIC even existed, replaced by "IRCC").
In particular, I suspect many reports about getting "RQ" may be in reference, rather, to "PPQ."
Thus, one question is whether for-cause questionnaires are also renumbered and are also a version of the CIT 0205.
For many this level of detail may seem to be overkill. But for those of us whose activity here is aimed at providing some well-informed, carefully acquired, actual information, and some analysis including insights into how these processes actually work (as best we can figure this out), the details are important. In the past I did ATI requests (access to information the public is entitled to, rather than the ATIP requests applicants make to find out information about their particular case) in an effort to keep up with as much as we could learn about what happens behind the curtains, and indeed that is the source for various copies of previously utilized RQ and RQ-lite forms I have. I have not kept up with that level of research in the last couple years.
Our collective understanding of the process, and in particular of the various side-roads some applicants may encounter, is dependent on quality reporting from participants in the forum.
It would be very helpful if any other participants who have gotten what they have called "RQ" could specifically report the title of the form, and its formal identification (such as CIT 0171 or CIT 0205 or CIT 0520, and so on), that will contribute significantly to our general understanding AND importantly will help to put into useful context other information related to this. Obviously, the more details given, the better.
Thank you for this. This clarifies some important aspects of this process. I will make a separate post discussing this in more detail.

Except obviously this is NOT RQ. This is a PPQ, as in "Physical Presence Questionnaire."

yes FP can be seen...I dont know about RQ
its like this
- We sent you correspondence on November 27, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
ECAS after status changes to in-process: if you see below message it can be RQ or FP.
We sent you correspondence on XXX date. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
Also, note that ECAS can still be Application received and you can receive RQ through the mail.
Included in the request for additional evidence, we received an Information regarding the reference person form. It requires that the reference:
- Must be able to answer questions regarding your activities in Canada as well as general questions about you: such as work, study, housing, sports, cultural or religious activities, volunteering
- Must have known you personally for at least two years
- Must be a Canadian citizen and reside in Canada
- Must be at least 18 years of age
- Must agree to have his name and contact information entered on this form
- Cannot be a family member
Obviously this is a very personal matter. The only explanation to give is the truth, some description of the applicant's circumstances which explains how it is the person has been present in Canada at least three years (or four if in reference to an application made prior to October 11) without being known to someone meeting these criteria.
I can readily imagine a number of scenarios in which this might arise, but again those would be very specific to the individual.
Questions:
Obviously not all the items enumerated in the detailed list you reported in the earlier post will be relevant to the applicant. Many applicants do not own their home, for example, so will not have any "Property tax assessments."
Is the form arranged in a way which specifies which particular items the applicant is asked to submit?
Is the form arranged for the applicant to check-off which items are submitted?
Did the form or other parts of what you received ask you to provide information -- such as to fill out another work history, address history, or list things such as community-based activities?
Did the communication from IRCC explicitly describe or refer to this as "random?"
The latter is important. I am surprised by the number of reports there are about this. I might have anticipated this was an exercise specifically related to evaluating the changes implemented in October, but in looking for other related posts I see that the CIT 0205 has been in use since at least May 2017 and has been issued to persons who applied prior to October 11. So at this very moment I am just catching up on these CIT 0205 forms and examining some other reports of RQ rather than this PPQ.
Thus, by the way: I am drafting a new thread about this (too much troll activity in this one), and doing some digging a bit.
Is the form arranged in a way which specifies which particular items the applicant is asked to submit? Yes
Is the form arranged for the applicant to check-off which items are submitted? Yes
Did the form or other parts of what you received ask you to provide information -- such as to fill out another work history, address history, or list things such as community-based activities? Yes on all counts
Did the communication from IRCC explicitly describe or refer to this as "random?" Yes
If you would like to reach out to me personally, I would be happy to fill you in on the particulars of our case, so you can have more insight into the "random" aspect of our Quality Assurance Exercise.
The questions are enumerated in such a way, with ample explanation, so that someone without property, for example, would know they were not required to provide those submissions. The same goes for other questions. I'm afraid, in my rush to brevity, I did not make that clear.

Thank you dpenabill,
Please draft a new thread clarifying questions about residence questionnaire. There are many people working in outside Canada such as in USA looking for citizenship.
