hubby moving to the US

[Divine Favour]

my husband who is a canadian citizen moved to the US. I am yet to apply for my citizenship because I havent reached 3 out of 5 hoping it gets passed and implemented soon and they crapped the intent to reside clause. Now once i apply, will my husband moving to the us be a problem for me getting my citizenship early?

i think as usa and canada have relations. going to usa wont effect intent to reside clause

if u go elsewhere and live for years then it would be a issue.

experts in this forum shld say more about it

What do you mean getting citizenship "early"? Having a spouse living abroad can be a factual issue for citizenship and it wouldnt matter what country it is (unless perhaps it is the US within commuting distance to the Canadian border). Be prepared to show continuing residential ties to Canada and an intent to continue to reside in Canada despite your husband's move--unless and until that provision gets dropped. Remember, if you do not intend to reside in Canada once becoming a Canadian citizen--you currently do not qualify for citizenship. Of course, the devil is in the detail of what it means to "reside" someplace and this can get quite murky in a cross border scenario.

Even if C-6 passes soon, it won't be implemented immediately, so you can't count on only needing three years of residence. If you have moved with your husband to the U.S. (or intend to do so soon), you can maintain your PR status indefinitely by living with a Canadian spouse. If you intend to remain in Canada until you get your citizenship, the fact that your husband left Canada shouldn't be an impediment. Just keep good records (tax filings, utility bills, etc.) showing that you're living in Canada.

This is currently true. A later government may change this rule in the future, so be sure to keep an eye on pending legislation in this regard. (I have no knowledge of any plans to change this rule, but considering how much Government has been tinkering with these laws, one never knows what the future will bring.)
