If you EXACTLY go for 4 months every year (day count would depend on which exact months though) then you'll be fine. 4 months x 6 years = 24 months = 2 years out of the country from a total of 6 years. So 4 out of 6 in Canada, so you would be good to go I guess. The frequent long-stays out of...

Don't stress too much Fanboy, I went back to the spreadsheet and I noticed that happened with some April apps as well where some were around 60 days from received to IP and on the same date some date received some were 80 days received to IP. Should be fairly soon now! *fingers crossed for all*

Yeah I see your point, haha, wish there was a reliable magical lie detector that could differentiate between us the people who live and work in Canada and truly want to be citizens from those who just want a travel document. So yeah that would definitely be one way to go. I wouldn't be overly...

ugggh... really? :o ummm... did they give you any plan of action or something that you can or should do to somehow follow up, did they say that this was out of the norm, any additional info? brutal... and no returned application either, eh?

lol touche, mind you I honestly don't understand what the issue is with having dual-citizenships, I mean unless you're an elected official or part of the judiciary, etc... is there TRULY a conflict of interest. Can't one love the country he was raised and born in and love Canada for it's...

What about people who will lose substantial inheritances in their countries of origin if they give up their citizenships there? wouldn't that technically be a loss to Canada, since many people would actually bring the capital to work in Canada eventually? Mind you Germany is a one citizenship...

Hey all check this out, an interesting discussion with Chris Alexander on the mounted challenge against Bill C-24. I think it will stand in court though, doubt it's "unconstitutional" and if it is, I am not quite sure where it says that...

Fasnoon, I actually wouldn't worry so much about it though, because as Chris Alexander said, once you ARE a Canadian Citizen your citizenship cannot be revoked without contention or appeal. And since all Canadians whether naturalized or born citizens have an inalienable mobility right, then I do...

Thank you for the response SenoritaBella! Good luck on the exam, kick some Canadian History ass! hahaha :)

That's fan-freakin'-tastic news SenoritaBella!!!! :D :D I'm stoked that they have processed your application so quickly, if we were only all so fortunate I'd have a dance party! hahahahaa. Hey just a quick question if you don't mind, how did they notify you of your test date and time? via...

Hey guys! thought I'd add my 2 cents! I completely agree with Glowingheart, it is not required. And if it is they have done a VERY poor job wording it because I speak 2 other languages aside from english & if it was written in any other of the two the wording would STILL not make sense to me. I...

Hello again Fanboy! I hope it will show for you soon too, it really should!! And yes I did pal, I came here as a undergrad student years ago so spent in Canada 5.5 years pre-PR and submitted my citizenship app basically 2 years post-PR. How about you? :)

Hey fanboy! you and I have the same received date if I'm not mistaken, can you not view your ECAS at all? like did you see your app and then it disappeared or have you never been able to see it? Maybe you should tried to contact CIC and hopefully they can verbally confirm to you that all is well :)

May!! Wonderful information and thank you very very much for sharing! :) I had no idea about any of this, you're fantastic!

Haha good to know admontreal :) I am sure all will be well, best of luck on the whole app my friend!!

Hey admontreal :) thank you for the update, does the receive line disappearing really mean anything? I noticed on the spreadsheet that the IP to Disappear timeline for people is literally all over the place!

Finally back with some good news fellas!! :D :D e-CAS is finally live for me, took a bit of time, but it got there lol will update the spreadsheet in a few moments too :) We received your payment, along with one or more citizenship applications. To find out how long it takes to process a...

Thank you very much for the link & advice May :) Some good info there, very appreciated! Pardon my ignorance, what is an RQ & is bringing copies of all travel stamps translated an absolute must as far as you are aware or is it just a step you'd highly recommend :) Thank you once again!

Hey Fanboy! Thank you for letting me know the status of your app :) mine is identical to yours basically. I just checked today (im currently overseas on vacation) & still nothing on ecas, hopefully it'll be sometime soon, probably next week :) *fingers crossed*

Good to know, mine didn't do that until about a week ago, honestly I'm not too worried, in my mind if I get the citizenship in a year (i.e. by the end of may next year) I'll be a happy camper :) after all I came 9 year ago to Canada as an international undergrad on a student visa & had nothing...
