However, I am of the suspicion at the moment, that the OP on this subject intends to go ahead anyway... Caveat Emptor.
From the application form "AN"...
Thanks for your replies, I have taken a look at the Application form and the link you first sent regarding this (
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/61/schedule/1?view=plain). There may be a way that we can still apply for it, and not be breaking any laws in doing so. My Wife owns a Company that is registered in the United Kingdom, and she fully intends to keep the Company here in the United Kingdom, and she will still be Employed by the company. With that, there may be a way,
First, The British Nationality Act states, (the parts pertaining to this question) ,
Naturalisation as a British citizen under section 6(1)
"(d)that either—
(i)his intentions are such that, in the event of a certificate of naturalisation as a British citizen being granted to him, his home or (if he has more than one) his principal home will be in the United Kingdom; or
(ii)he intends, in the event of such a certificate being granted to him, to enter into, or continue in, Crown service under the government of the United Kingdom, or service under an international organisation of which the United Kingdom or Her Majesty's government therein is a member, or service in the employment of a company or association established in the United Kingdom."
Secondly the Citizenship application asks,
"Please tell us in which country you intend to have your main home if you are naturalised. If this country is outside the United Kingdom and i) you are not married to or the civil partner of a British citizen and ii) you intend to enter into or continue Crown service, service in an international organisation or employment with a company or association established in the United Kingdom, please include a letter of explanation."
There would not be any false or misleading information here whatsoever. She would Put that here intention is to have her main home in Canada, and would write a letter explaining our case. In this way, I do believe it is possible, and that there would be no Laws broken or fraud.
Am I understanding this Correctly?
My next question is, if she were Granted Citizenship in the UK, would she need to notify CIC of the change of Status from Permanent Resident to Citizen, or not?
Thanks for your help you guys!
