This is my story, judge for yourself. I first came to canada in 2009 as a landed PR then applied for citizenship in 2012 on my 3 years sharp. I travelled few times within that period. Also I was unemployed for at least 6 months when I landed.
so this is to tell you, people who receive RQ is just a matter of luck. its like winning a lottery. you just have to be lucky not to receive it.
This is what I thought though can increase your chance of getting RQ:
1-You just deserve it because your file is misleading or not complete or erroneous
2-you just happen to be unlucky
3-you applied many years after like 5 yr plus. the more you wait the more complicated will be your file.
