Does anybody know if 12 months counts from the day you submitted your application or the day it says your application is in process?

There is a good chance everything will be the same when you come back , as if you have never even left

It doesn’t matter how you count it, if your case is still in process after 12 months they wouldn’t do anything differently

for those who have taken test did you have to fill a prohibitions form and bring it with you to the test ?

It will be a long absence almost a year in Australia
I may need to reschedule my test date if I receive it during that period; It will prolong the citizenship process; I hope I get some good news soon

Counts from the day they received your application. But its all BS anyway.

Give them a call, explain the situation..maybe it will change something or maybe not, but at least worth a try

If you're gone for a year, maybe you can plan for a contingency emergency trip back to Canada to sit the exam? Not convenient (especially given how insanely far Aus is), not cheap, but I'd do it.

Thanks folks for your thoughts
Does this 1 year leave affect their dicision to grant citizenship during the interview? They may ask for evidence showing this leave is temporary and I will be back in Canada after a year

If it was sent to you as an attachment to your test invite ~ yes, you've to bring it with you. If it was not ~ then they'd give it to you (green paper) upon arrival. In any case everyone has to fill-it and sign it before their test/interview.

Thanks a lot.
That is extra form or that is the part of forms that should be fills when anyone applying for citizenship.
During the interview agent didn't asked any document but after 8 month from interview they told me we didn't started prohibition part . After 13 month and half they didn't start it . that is unbelievable.

Hi Mehran1,
When CIC gets the clearance from CSIS, Prohibition turns from not started to complete immediately (Prohibition on ATIP for CIC means all the backgroud checks and criminality are done). If I remember correctly they have to get 5 organization to sign off on your clearance (RCMP, Border agency, Prison systems, CSIS and one I don't remember). It's all go back to CSIS. Hopefully we get the clearance from CSIS soon.
