Leaving Canada right after test and interview

[screech339]

And people say there is no such thing as "Canadian of Convenience".

Hey buddy, your way way off. Did you not drink kool-aid before reading what you quoted to get the juice out of it?
Ain't gonna disclose my or my combined income to nobody.

I don't always agree with our buddy itsmyid but for this I tend to. I know there are people who come to Canada to get citizenship for their convenience but the justification provided when Bill C-24 was passed is not near being close to the reality. There are many good tax paying people who don't sit here and try to achieve highest goals by pursuing their careers somewhere else. Why not? When they leave Canada, they don't pay taxes as well as they don't get any benefits from Canada, so it's knock-to-knock. How those living in Canada on benefits are better than those who left to pursue their careers? When they are back they will bring moneys earned abroad back to Canada. Why punish them? All justifications I heard are Trump style populist ideas. You should not punish everyone because there are people that you don't like. It's not what this country that promotes democratic values should follow.

First of all, he is a free citizen, not a slave, it's his right to live wherever he likes. There is nothing wrong and he is perfectly acting within the laws. I wish more people walk away and vote by feet to boycott the failing immigration system of this country.

Also granting citizenship is based on the criteria from the past not future. Losing citizenship for not physically living in the country is not part of laws yet. If the government think this is wrong, they should change the laws like Ireland or Netherland.

There is no such thing as playing the system, if someone thinks this way, then the government is a much bigger player by abusing power to bully people. It's actually the system itself is failing.

Again, the law says "intend" not "physically". It's the same when the government said "intend" to do a lot of things in order to win election but actually not "physically" able to deliver promises. If failing to deliver intended promises is not crime or fraud for them, then why for us?

Well said man.
I can sense much hatred and resentment from all who answered this question. Their mouth piece indicate "Oh my God, he'll get a better job than what I have in here in Canada to keep being Canadian, and he's going to earn more money than me. I hate him". That's what the haters sound like... Grow up!

Can one who till now was well established i and never traveled outside Canada since landing , leave the country for good after successfully passing test and interview without too much risking his chances to get a citizenship?
He is planning to come back to take an oath once he gets an invitation.
Thank you.

Please see below information 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.
