Hi Everyone,
I was planning to apply citizenship with fewer than 1095 days (physical presence). However since I have read the entire negative comments about this situation, I have a doubt to apply now.
I am giving detail information about my situation, if you take time and read it, I will be really appreciate it. Please tell me what you would like to do, if you were me.

First Entry to Canada, November 6, 2006 ( As a student )
Permanent residency date 7 December 2009
Missing Days 107.5 as of December 21, 2011 ( 39 Days before I became PR. Rest of 88 After I became PR)
My absences are mostly related with my business trip. My company sent me abroad.
I will accumulate 1,095 days of physical presence on July 10,2012
I live in Toronto

Questions
1- A person who applies with fewer than 1095 days (physical presence) will receive RQ for sure? Or the officer will decide who gets RQ who not?
2- Since some of people who apply with greater than 1095 days (physical presence) have a chance to receive RQ. Do you think it’s an advantage to apply now for me?
My Plan,
I am thinking to make an application as soon as possible. In July, Based on my application stage, either I will withdraw my initial application and make a new one. Or I will be continue you with my initial application. Do you this this is a good idea

Thank you for your time

1. You may not get an RQ, but the application would probably be referred to the Citizenship Judge. Then there is an excellent chance you will be refused as not having sufficient days. You apply and then withdraw, usual route is either RQ or Judge. Wait until you have sufficient days.
