Hi,

I have read on CIC website that we need to contact the citizenship department if we are leaving Canada for more than two weeks in a row after applying for citizenship.

I applied for citizenship in October 2017 and currently, I am planning to travel out of Canada for around one month. Should I really inform them? What if I do not inform? Will it impact my processing time if I do not inform?

Thanks

Only check you email every day to see if there any news from CIC.

Hi
Please clarify did you left after AOR? Or after the tracking showed the application was received/ delivered
Thanks

- Did you not inform IRCC by webform ?
- Did IRCC asked you anything regarding not informing them at the time of test/interview ?
