I am certainly not qualified, so take my answer with a grain of salt...personally I believe that whether it is the rule or not, they want to see a close tie to Canada and they want to see that you intend to live your life here.

I got that strong impression during my interview. The agent seemed to be very satisfied when I could demonstrate that my center point of my life is in Canada. It was easy for me as my husband and kids are Canadians, my inlaws all live here, kids are at school or work in Canada, own property, two dogs...
The interesting thing was that the agent quite "innocently" asked me these questions about what my husband and kids do...
As said, I do not know what the rules are, but nevertheless, the ties to Canada I do believe are important.
Bummer with your case! I assume you withdrew the application and you will try again?
Best of luck!
Stef.

Hi friend,

This is an interesting case. Do you mean they asked you to provide CIT 0520 cuz you were in three countries out of Canada while being a PR? If so, didnt you have any passport stamps to prove that?

i was planning to withdraw my application, but after talking to my lawyer she asked me to wait until the decision is made (to understand the reason for the denial) and evaluate our next step, not sure i follow her logic, also at this point i'm not sure if i can withdraw the application after the seeing judge.

Oh boy! It's a hard call. Get a 2nd, a 3rd and a 4th opinion. "Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success". Wish you the best!

Hello sir, just curious if you finally got citizenship? I was recently given CIT 0520 after passing citizenship test one year after application. What do you advise? How long do you think It will take until they process my CIT 0520?
