Hi everyone,

I applied for my citizenship in June 2011 and received letter of acknowledgement on 22nd June 2012. My application started getting processed in Jan 2013 and was transfered to surrey office in Sep 2013.

my situation is a bit complicated:
Unfortunately I lost my job and have moved to Calgary to look for work and to live with my finacee.
My fiancee and I are getting married next week
since i moved to AB in beginning of Dec, I have discontinued my BC health plan from february onwards(mentioning about this because if i havebc heath card it is kind of a residece proof)
Besides, to make situation worse, I just realized that i have lost my PR card.

My dilema is that should I change my address as CIC suggests on its website. It seems to me that I am really close to the 24 month time frame that they have mentioned on their website and transferring file to calgary will make it worse or so I think....

please please please help me. Am veryvery very confused and directionless

If I dont change the address, i will



my concern is, should I chage my address or should I let it be? Will it be considered illegal?

I know CIC wants you to keep your address current, but I don't know if it's an absolute requirement. If you don't change your address you'll have to write your test and swear your oath in BC. That is, provided that you can get your hands on mail delivered to the old address.
