    Do additional documents help?

    Yes, it helps. I sent additional documents including the CBSA report, as well as tax returns and letter from employer. I had my citizenship application approved with no issues, despite lots of travel. It doesnt make it go any faster though.

    Elongated Citizenship due to absence

    Follow the calculator. If the calculator says you are not eligible, then you are not eligible. If you try to apply without the calculator's approval, then you'll be in for a very long and cumbersome application process.

    Working outside Canada when waiting on Citizenship

    You should ask if they can wait 6-7 months. It's not ideal. Processing times are faster and you shouldnt jeapardize it. Explain to your employer the requirement to stay in Canada. If absolutely not... then ask to remain on Canadian payroll and allow flight expenses to fly back home every now...

    A44 report - misrepresentation - case dismissed by court (IRB)

    I sent extra documentation and got my citizenship in 7 months. It's all case by case basis. Don't submit too much but submit concrete evidence that helps if you think you would have issues. Pay stubs, employment letter, mortgage/rent docs, all prove residence in Canada.
