Prior to my citizenship application, I have lived across five provinces, and traveled overseas frequently, approximately every 3-4 months. On two occasions upon returning to Canada, I was stopped by CBSA officers and questioned about the frequency of my travels. Additionally, my luggage was searched twice during these encounters.
I left Canada shortly after submitting my application and returned in February 2025, after being away for 7 months. This time, however, I was not questioned at the border.
