RQ before test , timeline

[goodman36]

Even though, I moved here from US, my home country is not US. After moving to Canada, I didn't travel back to US, however I have gone back to my home country many times.

I am really worried about applying for Citizenship now. I have been here about 6 years now. In November this year, I should have the required 1095 days. So, I plan to apply then. Even though I haven't traveled to US, I traveled to my home country many times. I do not have records of the first 2 and 1/2 years of rent or lease as I mostly stayed with my friends during those period.

However, I am staying at 1 place the last 3 and 1/2 year and have definite and clear records of residence.

Questions: 1) When I apply for Citizenship, do I need to provide all pages of my Passport?
2) How do I apply for travel records? Should I include this record with my initial application?

Thanks a lot.

Apply for citizenship. It doesnt matter where and when you travelled. You they care about is that you stayed in Canada for 3 yrs (1095 days). I myself have travelled a lot to states and other countries. I also was asked for RQ. Lease and rental papers are not the only source that proves that you were in Canada. You can show the bank/credit card statements or school transcripts or job letter to prove that you lived in Canada

I can't send private messages so I will reply here.
We have not split files. My wife has not got citizenship yet. My sense is that they (st-clair) are batch processing pre-rq sent around fall 2012 so about a year in processing. We will test the theory in about 4 months

RQ for residency investigation/ concerns still can't split for other reasons such as test fail then can split.

 

[123sMike]

I have seen people splitting in RQ before test

 

[Maisa]

Yes, it is possible!

NOT POSSIBLE in RQ cases....ONLY possible if a family member fails in the test

Some good news from a mid 2009 "veteran", my RQ was in queue since end of 2010 in Missi, than abt 9 months ago (end of 2012) was transferred to St Clair.
Ordered ATIP and seen at beginning of Sept2013 that my app was transferred back to Missi for Oath. The guys in St Clair are moving pretty fast, from Nov2012 to Sept2013 was processed, reviewed, assessed and forward back to home center for Oath and now let's see when I'll get invitation letter. See in my signature my timelines. Interesting on ECAS...once was moved to StClair for RQ eval was changed in ECAS as "home center" St Clair, at beginning of Sept ECAS was showing back to Missi as home center so ECAS change back from St Clair to your home center is a clue the appl was assessed, decision made and waiting in queue for Oath. I strongly advise to ask for ATIP request (5 bucks no big deal) to see a more detail progress of your appl's. Really impressed how recently St Clair start speeding at least very old apps.Now let's see how Missi center is moving to Oath schedule.
Any recent timeline clue from test to oath processing time in Missi?

Here are my timelines so far
