Hi friends, what documents besides standard one's i should send with citizenship application to avoide RQ ?

I am working in Canada and frequently changing companies (Contract jobs). I have all the pay slips, T4 and tax assesments. And have bank statements which show those transactions. However i have been jobless for first 8 months and out of 8 months spent 3 out of Canada and spent 3 months attending employment training courses in Canada (i have certificates). Also i already got In/out report from Canada Border Agency and medical claims record from Ontario Health department (Which proves my presence). I have a letter from previous employer before moving to Canada stating, i have resigned from my job and my visa for that country have been cancel.

I made 5 trips to my country in last 4 years almost and spent total 3 months outside Canada and i have boarding pass for only one trip.

Thanks

I never had to present any boarding pass. You just have to state that you have been out of Canada and the corresponding dates. Look at the stamps on your passport to help you with the dates. Also, I never had to prove where I was working and why. I just had to state in the application all my jobs and the dates, but no need for T4s. Make sure you are accurate, and above all, avoid at any cost any date gaps. Good luck!

My question is to avoid RQ should I send T4's, CBSA Report, Personal claim history from Ministry of health and Bank statements with my application?

One of my friend was asked during the test that you did not had job for at least 3 years out of 4 and judge will give you and RQ.

Another thing was noted by him was, as soon as officer saw stamps from Dubai on his passport she got upset. And finally he got RQ.

Well you just need to send in the application, it all depend on them if they choose you for RQ, Cic don't ask & want any documents with the application accept the regular items on checklist so don't submit till asked for, 8 months of jobless concern, as far as you have residence proof, you will be good but again it will all happen only if you receive RQ. When are you planning to file?

It looks like they're giving RQ for those who travelled a lot outside Canada.. I went for vacation twice in total of 91 days, and in my residence calculator I have a total of 1114 days physical presence here in Canada, still I got RQ:D

And my other concern they don't even bother to stamp your passport on the way back in..
