Hi friends, I am currently living Canada since June 2012 and got my PR since Feb 2014. I have fulfilled my residency obligations required for Citizenship per the Bill c6 rule and waiting for the rule to be implemented in fall to formally submit my application. Currently I am considering an employment abroad through secondment but need to make sure of the following before I make a decision:
1) I know that my stay outside Canada from now until my application date won't be counted towards my physical residency days even though I continue my payroll with Canadian company. Since I already fulfilled my residency obligation, once the law gets into effect, can I apply for our citizenship from Abroa using an authorized representative
2) if point 1 is possible, will this way of submission make my application as non-routine?
3) is it mandatory to keep my payroll with a candian company?
4) in case of any delay in getting citizenship, can I renew my PR from abroad either using an authorized representative or a friends address just to mail out the application?

Your valuable comments will help me to make an important career decision. Thanks in advance

I also need an advice. My family applied for citizenship through an immigration consultant in December 2016. We later found out that the consultant made a few mistakes in the forms of both my wife and children. The CIC online status still shows in process. They have also not asked for any clarification or further information. I would appreciate if someone can advise the best course of action now. Should we wait for the test date or any communication from CIC or we send the new application acknowledging the errors made by the consultant in the applications.

A representative does not impact in any way the outcome of your application. All he does is filling and sending your docs, and of course taking your money. My opinion is to do it yourself. Best of luck!

Thanks for your response but I think my query may be misleading with the title. My actual query was if can I apply citizenship from working abroad
