Leaving Canada after applying for Canadian citizenship

[prashantgupta8055]

Hi All - I have few questions if someone can help. From physical presence standpoint, I believe 2 requirements for Canadian Citizenship eligibility are :-

- Be in Canada for 1095 days in 5 year period
- Not be outside of Canada for over 730 days.

I meet both requirements and have submitted the application. However, my question is what happens if I leave Canada after applying for Citizenship ? I understand, I need to maintain PR status at least till Oath ceremony, but do I need to maintain any of the above 2 requirements too ?

Thanks !

No you don't need to.

hey @prashantgupta8055, what did you end up doing? Did you have any problems? What address did you use on your application while you were gone?
