Thanks for your advice. May I ask 2 more questions, hope that you can share your ideas.
1. Does the status of dual-citizenship affect the chances of getting a visa?
2. I have HK and Australian citizenships. I have been living in HK over the past 10 yrs, so I just need to provide information/document of this past 10 yrs to CIC. My concern is, will CIC later on come back and ask me for more information/documents about my stay in Australia (which was more than 10 yrs ago)? .....As I worry my application process will become complicated and delayed....
1. I don't know, but I have never seen anything indicating that it is. Sometimes applicants from certain countries receive extra scrutiny, but Australia isn't one of those countries.
2. CIC generally asks about your history in the past 10 years. But if they have some reason why they want to ask about your life from Australia more than 10 years ago, I suppose they will ask, and you will need to be forthcoming about it. By the way, the PCC requirement is since age 18, not only for the last 10 years, so you are going to have to get a PCC from Australia as will your husband.
