[mubeen241615]

Hi All

This is mubeen , I got the Canada PR in Aug,2011 . But I went to India two times(one is for eight months and other is three weeks) for family emergency .

I'm planning to apply the citizenship so,

a) HOW CAN I CHECK WHETHER I'M ELIGIBLE OR NOT FOR CITIZENSHIP .


b) WHAT IS THE PROCESSING PERIOD FOR CITIZENSHIP IN CALGARY .

C) WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN GETTING THE CITIZENSHIP .

d) IS THERE ANY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON MY APPLICATION BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF COUNTRY FOR SO MANY MONTHS (EIGHT MONTHS)

please let me know

Thanks
Mubeen
