Hello

I got my PR in 2008 June, and full filled 1095 days resident requirement by 2010. I have submitted my canadian citizenship application in 2010 and now still waiting for a test to be arranged. I moved to Hong Kong to work in 2011 April while my wife still working in Canada. We had our daugher borned in canada in June 2012 and I have got the canadian passport for her. As my PR card will be expiring in June 2013 and I will be out of Canada for 1095 days by May 2014. Can someone help to answer following questions?

1.My wife and I applied canadian citizenship back in 2010. I am the principal application for canadian citizenship, My wife been live in canada all the time since landed. my question is if by the time I am no longer qualified for PR obligation, Will my wife still able to get Canadian citizenshp or will the whole application got refused?

2. If the whole application got refused , will my wife still able to renew her PR card?

3. If both canadian citizenship and PR card got expired , given my daugher is still canadian , will we able to reapply PR by canadian experience category as I was worked and studied in Canada for 10 years. Thank you and appreciated your help.

You applied for citizenship in 2010.
So what is the status of ur application? Did u get an RQ?
If you fulfilled the physical residency of 1095 days, why do u think they might refuse your application for citizenship.

Make sure you renew ur PR card. To keep ur PR status you need 730 days in the past five years. Make sure you don't lose ur status.

Why do you want to go thru the painfull process for applying for PR and getting citizenship in the future if u have the chance to finish it now.

I am currently renewing my PR. Due to there are limited job in banks after 2007, I have to work in HK for now and my wife is working in Canada. I think generally they would require me in Canada inorder to renew my PR. So I just want to be prepared , I have not get an RQ yet. I was being told they are scheduling the exam back in Dec , Still no news so far

Hi,

I know this is a crapshoot to ask this almost ten years later but here goes: I am almost exactly in the same situation so would be curious to know how this was resolved for you. Did you end up getting the citizenship by any chance?
