RQ Received

[mailvdutt]

Today I received RQ and the form has my name in it.
I had already provided Income tax papers, House lease,House ownership information With my application.
I did have many Travels to USA for one day Shopping.

Do i need to provide documents again for myself only or the whole family.?

can you tell which form version you received. And what office your application is in process. After how many month applying for citizenship you received this RQ?

Regarding your question yes you need to resubmit whatever is asked as per RQ even if you have submitted it with application you still need to collect all the documents required as per RQ and submit it as a package.

Hi Mailvdvut,,, did cic ask only for lease & tax papers or any thing else??

I know an applicant who did many day trips to USA and also got post-test RQ despite submitting a translation for all passport stamps at the interview. Do you have a habit of not surrending the I-94 card each time you exit the USA?

mailvdutt,

For your RQ, you should submit any documentation the prove your residency regardless if you already did or not. You are not asked explicitly for residency proof for your family, however, if you look into the RQ form, you are asked for the family ties, which will require submitting documentation concering the family residency.

The problem with not submitting I-94 is when your entry to Canada is not registered correctly. When it comes to the cross-border information sharing, the days between that entry and your next visit to USA may be counted as absence despite being the opposite.

I think what you submitted is not enough that's why they sent you RQ, you need to send them with all your travelling history supported by passport stamps, tickets and boarding passes, you need to submit most importantly payroll stub for each month or justify you were continuously living and working in Canada, you need to send them registries and service Canada visits record, if you were part of community services or regularly attending some sports club you better have letter from them. Record of your visit to Doctor or Dentist would also help. If you have been travelling within Canada by Air or Greyhound you can even submit those tickets as proof of residence.

I did the same, I was IT contractor too... took contract docs and letter from the IT vendors. I haven't heard back since I submitted the RQ. But let's see. I have read horror stories because of RQs which people got because of US trips. It can take up years.

i have a question. as part of initial security check when our application is at Sydney office they cic also checks CBSA entries. as its their system and database. so why they still trigger RQ if they see the person is physically present inside Canada and fulfills the 3 years of citizenship obligation.

I really don't understand why certain things are just done again and again in loop. I see one gentleman submitting his passport translation with the application still he got RQ to resubmit the same. I see there is lot of repetitive process which kills time and money of we tax payers.

A1 – Use of a suspect residential address.
A2 – NCB in FOSS, Warning or Note(s) in GCMS indicating a concern.
A3 – Previous citizenship applications which were not approved, withdrawn, abandoned, renounced or revoked.
A4 – Discrepancy in absences between citizenship application and CIC information during the relevant 4 years period.
A5 – Self-identified as a consultant, self-employed or unemployed, with any travel during the relevant 4 year period.A6 – Absences to home country to sell land/property or to take care of ill family member during the relevant 4 year period.
A7 – Applicant has self declared having less than 1095 days of physical presence.

In my opinion, the risk indicator outlined in red is the reason why you got RQ.

The CBSA entries database contains entries only. Therefore you cannot conclude a person fullfilled her 3 years obligation based on that data. You could enter to Canada today and leave tomorrow (there's still no exit screening), but on your citizenship application you'd say that you left 9 months later. They wouldn't have any proof of that. So that's why they may request RQ. It's not the best way to assess residency (an exit screening system would be the must, as in Australia or Hong Kong), but for now it's the only way for them, and yet it's still not 100% reliable.
