One of the criteria to get urgent process, avoid losing the job. As I dont have any other option unless I get citizenship to travel.
Apart from the mess that Covid-19 has made of processing timelines, and the fact that getting employment outside Canada is not exactly why Canada offers immigrants (including refugees) a path to citizenship, both of which are factors likely diminishing the chances of getting urgent processing, the situation you describe does not fit the criteria IRCC specifies for urgent processing.
Like many, many others have, you appear to misunderstand what "
needing Canadian citizenship" means. What you need is a passport like a Canadian passport. That is not the same as needing Canadian citizenship, even though your personal access to such a passport appears to be limited to obtaining Canadian citizenship so you can get a Canadian passport.
This is not to say that IRCC will always deny urgent processing for individuals in circumstances comparable to yours. IRCC has very broad discretion in deciding who gets urgent processing.
It is to say, however, that the odds are not good, and that is probably understating it. Sorry.
Longer Explanation For Why Odds-Are-NOT-Good For Getting Urgent Processing:
There is a situation in which the need for a Canadian
passport meets IRCC criteria for urgent processing: the need for a passport to "
travel because of death or serious illness in your family and you can’t get a passport in your current nationality."
The criteria based on qualifying for a job, or to avoid losing the job, is about needing Canadian
citizenship. Needing a Canadian passport for a job is not the same as needing Canadian citizenship.
In particular, what you need is a
passport that will support international travel
comparable to a Canadian passport, but not necessarily a Canadian passport, a need which would also be satisfied with a comparable passport issued by a number of other countries, such as the U.S. Again, that is not the same as needing
Canadian citizenship for a job.
Consider an individual who already holds a U.S. passport, for example, but still needs Canadian citizenship for the job (to qualify for the job or avoid losing it). Does not need the Canadian passport. But does need Canadian citizenship. That is the kind of job which will meet the criteria for urgent processing.
That is one big difference which underlies
odds-are-not-good observations. Why the difference, itself, is almost certainly rooted in the overall scheme of Canadian immigration and citizenship policy. Something I have addressed in depth in other topics, but the highlight version is not complicated: the purpose for granting citizenship is to complete the immigrant's path to settling and living in Canada permanently, not so the individual can qualify for employment outside Canada.
Again, this is not to say that IRCC will always deny urgent processing for individuals in circumstances comparable to yours, recognizing that IRCC has very broad discretion in deciding who gets urgent processing. But, in terms of the limited anecdotal information available, it appears the odds are not good even for those who need a Canadian passport just to travel attendant a job based in Canada, let alone those who looking at employment abroad.
