January 2017-Citizenship applicants

[Advance123]

There has been many rumours about the "Intent to Reside" clause.

The intent only applies between the time you your application is signed and when you take your oath. After that you can go and work or live anywhere you want in the world. If you are eligible to apply, apply now. Whatever rules come in later will be retroactive because of the constitutional nature of the issues.

See subsection below from CIC:

"Subsection 5(1.1) of the Act states that for the purposes of paragraphs 5(1)(c.1) and 11(1)(e), the person’s intention must be continuous from the date of their application until they have taken the Oath of Citizenship.

Officers will be assessing the applicant’s intention if granted citizenship (i.e., what the applicant intends to do after becoming a citizen). Applicants must hold this intention to reside if granted citizenship from the time they sign their application to the time they take the Oath. The intent to reside is required to obtain citizenship but no longer applies once citizenship is granted. Once citizenship is granted, a citizen has the right to enter, remain in, and leave Canada as guaranteed by the Charter."

Hi guys, new guy here.

Sent in my family application yesterday and realized that we forgot to print our names behind the photos. However, we pinned it on the each individual's documents.

Would it be sent back?

Thanks!

Mostly yes, but just relax nothing much to do, just wait and take it easy

hi guys,
this is what is mentioned in the cic official website


Intent to reside


You must declare your intent to reside during the citizenship application process.

To become a citizen, you must indicate your intention to:

live in Canada,
work outside Canada as a Crown servant, or
live abroad with certain family members who are Crown servants.
Once you become a Canadian citizen, you have the right to enter, remain in, or leave Canada, one of the basic rights of citizenship.

They won't return for that. But if you missed a signature on the application or missing any information, then they will return...

Agreed with you.

True. After they become citizens. But your intention to reside BEFORE becoming a citizen will always be questionable and subject to misrepresentation claims. Thus making your citizenship subject to revocation.

Civil rights lawyers and activists haven't been objecting this clause for nothing. Regardless of whatever is mentioned on CIC website and charter of rights, the application form says "I intend, if granted citizenship, to continue to reside in Canada". If it was really aimed for the process, it would say for example "I intend, until granted citizenship, to continue to reside in Canada".

While all citizens have full rights of mobility, how one exercises those rights after becoming a citizen may provide IRCC with cause to question whether one's "intention to reside" was a misrepresentation at the time it was made. Once it becomes a question of whether citizenship was obtained by misrepresentation, IRCC may use how one exercised their mobility rights as part of the evidence indicating misrepresentation.
