CRA status and physical presence requirement are completely separate. This shouldn't be an issue at all. The one thing you should keep in mind is that applying with minimal or no buffer above 1095 days can result in longer processing delays or even rejection if you happen to have forgotten a...

CBSA only started collecting exits to countries other than USA a few years ago, so what you saw for your wife was normal : https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/thr-rav-eng.html If your friend applies for the travel history, all exits since summer 2020...

You know the rule regarding the PCC requirement and its up to you to decide when to apply really. Just keep in mind that if you decide to wait a bit longer so that the PCC isn't required as part of a complete application, it doesn't stop IRCC form asking for one during the processing.

Dunno for the tax. But yeah, provide that Indian address.

Google the writ of mandamus. There's a high chance the 1st step of the process is the last in case of a never-ending physical presence validation for someone with a very large buffer.

The work history only helps IRCC establish a pattern of presence in Canada, among other things, but it's not in itself an element in the decisional process. Don't worry about it.

In that case, it looks like one of these cases where a letter from a lawyer leads to an oath ceremony a month later... It sucks to spend serious money for something you should have had in 2023, but it's what it is...

+1 to the MP suggestion above. Did you also call them or send a webform about the status of your application? Also, is your physical presence "in the clear"? Did you apply with a sufficient buffer and IRCC is just letting your application gather dust, or did you apply with something like 1096...

We can't answer for now. With the current bill, there doesn't seem to be any condition regarding the accumulation of these 1095 days, rendering your child eligible, but there may be amendments from either the HoC or Senate that would change change this, or an election that would kill the bill...

Can't point to one right now, but saw some examples from time to time on this forum. You can search... Also, not sure coming just to send your application really makes a difference. The logistical issues that come with applying from abroad still stand, you'd have to give your address that...

Unfortunately, no-one here can really help with an application stuck in security check. You can always do the usual (call, apply for CGMS notes, bug your MP again), but that's probably not moving the needle. The only actual help you may get could be to speak to a lawyer about the specifics of...

Not sure what you mean by "eligibility completed". To be eligible for citizenship, every single requirement needs to be completed, and that includes checking the documents provided to establish some of these requirements.

It's your responsibility to do the calculation, using the tool given by @forw.jane. If you have a specific question like "do days between the end of a permit and the beginning of another count?" (yes, if you applied for the new permit before the older expired), sure, but it's no-one's job to...

Yeah, it's possible. There may be consequences to it (like a longer processing time, or IRCC asking for a return to Canada before finalizing the application...) but the application will be processed as long as the applicants respects the citizenship requirements, and being in Canada isn't one of...

CSIS takes care of it, and to give a generic definition, they look into possible "threats to Canada". Can be anything like risk of terrorism, spying, money laundering, or really any criminal activity done abroad... Obviously, this is frustrating for the "average applicant" whose worst offense is...

It happens for unlucky folks, and is relatively common. Security screening can last a year or more, better be patient...

Usually, pre-PR days are easily verified for people that had an actual status in Canada (students, workers...). Different story for people who entered the country as a visitor, especially from visa-free countries. IRCC sometimes cannot document these days and may return the application. So yeah...

1) Everyone's timeline is different, the waiting time before your oath could be a few weeks or a few years (unlikely, but possible!) or anything in between really. The only expectation is that 80% of routine applications are processed within 7 months. 2) You won't get your results and frankly...

Well, she was only outside Canada between the day she was born and the day she arrived here, which is less than 730 days. You obviously shouldn't consider the days before she was born for this question. So answer "NO" (which would be the same answer regardless of whether you consider PR or 5...
