    Almost 1 year since I applied for citizenship.....

    Being married is not relevant to your citizenship application so you don't need to notify them. If it came up in your interview somehow, of course be truthful.

    Fingerprint Request in 30 days - However Im Outside Canada - USA

    Whatever you end up doing, make sure you've responded within 30 days either with a letter or the FP results. Otherwise, your application status could be in jeopardy. Worse case, if you notify them properly, it could create a delay until they receive them, but only if you take an extraordinarily...

    I got fp request today just on my name no FP request on my spouse or kids

    At least not at this time. Your spouse could still get one if they require it in the future.

    Background check

    As they said, it's normal. Unfortunately there isn't a lot that can be done if a country is taking it's time in responding to requests. At some point, after a year at least, you can start making a little noise in the hopes that it will prompt someone to maybe prod the international agencies they...

    If you don’t drive and you live 2hrs or more from test interview how do you get IRCC centre.

    Processing offices are in the general area of residence, so someone should be able to find a way there. Yeah, it might be expensive if they have to cab it. Given the amount of time between when they paid the fee to test and then to oath ceremony, they can save up money in between for these...

    Spouse married to Citizen residing abroad

    And make sure you keep good travel records, especially if you have a status that doesn't allow for I-94 reporting. Getting the entry records from CBP and CBSA may be helpful, but they are notoriously inaccurate at times.

    questions on section 11 of citizenship application

    No. Vacations are only listed in the physical presence calculator. You shouldn't enter vacation stays in question 10, either.

    Fingerprint questions

    IRCC does list FP as something that can categorize your application as non-routine, but it's not something that causes delays in their processing if the result is a negative match. Obviously in your case there is a delay being caused by the fact that it was lost in the mail, so I would also...

    Status period before PR

    How many days of buffer do you have? I'm sure others will chime in soon.

    Status period before PR

    Yes, you'd need to be accurate unless you have quite a large amount of buffer days, like a few months, just in case.

    Citizenship rejection possibilities?

    Yeah, that's what I meant. I was paraphrasing. "Some of the requirements for Canadian citizenship changed. These new changes provide more flexibility for applicants in meeting citizenship requirements and as your application was received at the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, NS on or after...

    October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

    Depends on how you learn, really. For me, taking the free online practice tests and referring back to the book for answers I didn't know helped me memorize things. I only studied the day before the test.

    Citizenship rejection possibilities?

    I'm not sure about others, but I signed mine before October 11th (albeit just days before) and it was stated in the AOR that the application would be reviewed under the guidelines of the new law.

    183 Days Calculation Same as Physical Presence Calculation Method?

    Given the length of time that this application process will take, just apply for the PCC when you send in your application and send the PCC when you receive it from the FBI. I would wait until you get AOR so that you have a case number to submit it towards.

    Documents for the interview

    While I agree that it's a good idea to have documentation that supports your physical presence if you have a lot of travel, I would advise to only bring it out if requested by the interviewer.

    Citizenship application (together or separated)

    This really should be the only consideration for the OP. It's nice to apply as a unit in that you'll be scheduled for the oath at the same time. Tests may or may not be at the same time, even if submitted together, but most likely together. I don't believe it will arouse any suspicion if you...
