Is "change job" after applying citizenship a triage?

I changed job after sent in citizenship application. Do you think it will cause RQ? Do I need to report that to CIC?

How about taking a part time course (education) or become unemployed after apply?

Thanks.

Thanks for your input.

But I am just talking about "change job" after applying, not self -employed and travel. What do you think? A post test RQ?

So it prompts me to another question. Traveling after apply will cause post test RQ?

I just called cic for the same question and tjey said your employment status has no impact on your file...changing job or losing job. She was a great rep and answered everything as a matter of fact!

You need to contact CIC if you will be out of the country for two weeks or longer. It's hard to say definitively whether something will trigger an RQ or not, but PRs are allowed to travel. The issue is that one needs to maintain their PR residency obligation and inform the CIC so you don't get a test invite while you're gone.

What you do after your application shouldn't impact your file. But we don't know what CIC will do in any individual case.

Great advice.

Thank you so much!! So in theory, unemployment, travel, change job, school, after applying, should not be a triage impacting their evaluation of my application.

Great!

They shouldn't, but we have heard stories of CIC issuing RQs to people with post-application travel, etc.

Change job or travel for work after submitting should not be the cause of RQ.
My wife changed job and traveled after submitting, test and interview no problem.
