After applying Citizenship can i go to vacation
- Thread starter simoncanada
- Start date
my main concern would not be that ,,,, actually it would be getting the test invitation where you may still abroad
My understanding is that more experienced members here on the forum will very likely advise you not to go on an extended holiday as this might conflict with your "intent to stay in Canada".
Personally, without having an experience, I would say this all depends on your circumstances. Firstly, if you get the invitation for a test interview, you can contact them to let them know that you are abroad and that you need to re-schedule the test. Make sure you have somebody to check your mail and that you check your ecas status. You do not want to miss your test without having contacted them with an explanation of why.
Be also prepared that you might get some questions in your interview regarding your extended holiday.
Personally, I will have to leave for 5 weeks to take care of my 85-year-old mother in Germany who lives on her own. Should I get an invitation for the test during this time, I will contact them and explain my circumstances, attaching the relevant proof; e.g. copy of my mother's passport r which proves her age and copy of the flight tickets. At that point in time, I will also let them know that I will have to go back to Germany in September for another 3 weeks.
I see it as my duty as a good citizen to take responsibility for my family and cannot see that this will work against me. I have to say though that my intent to stay should be believable as I am married to a Canadian (born in Canada), have three Canadian kids and have been in the country for over 8 years.
If it works against me, then frankly...my mother is more important and if it takes longer, well it takes longer.
Again, this is my personal opinion and I have no clue how CIC deals with this.
In an ideal world, you probably stay put and wait for the whole thing to be finished before you do anything.

they are only worried til the dates before u apply
not after u apply..because u will be eligible for 4 year already so they dont care dates which are shown after u applied
And what would you tell them? Are you not entitled to a vacation like everyone else?
As long as you meet the days and apply
You are fine
Of course they can ask your immediate or recent stamp in passport
You can tell them ; I applied this date I went to vacation this date I return this date
Also if your any stamp is non English language than you can do translate
It might be helpful for the officer
What I said above it is as per my knowledge, I am not immigration lawyer or expert. Other people can give more better answers
