Where to mail the residence questionnaire

[mulan]

Dear friends,

I took my test in May30 and got a RQ. I forgot to ask where should I mail the RQ and related information back. Will that be the local CIC office or somewhere else.

Thank you for any information.

Hi Farid_mahmod,

I worked in US before landing in Canada. After satisfied 1095 days in Canada, I started working again in US. There are several stamps on my passport from US border. The officer didn't want to see any document I brought with me and didn't want to listen to my explanation. He kept saying that I have too many traveling outside Canada. Then he gave me the RQ and required 30 days to return. I guess they had already decided to give RQ before I came to take test. It doesn't matter what I say to them at the day I took the test. Working in US seems to be the most possible reason to trigger RQ.

Hello,

1: Has any one ever got / heard of getting citizenship of Canada on the criteria of Basic Residency, where 3 year residency criteria has not been met? If yes, can you please guide for the procedure, time lines and success story?

2: What are the questions of RQ? Can any one please post it? (I understand RQ for Physical Presence and RQ for application for Basic Residency will be the same).

Kind Regards,
Lisaa

Hi Lisaa,

In my case, my physical present days are satisfied.

The RQ is the form "CIT0171B". You may download it from web but it is old version although nothing is changed. The current version is 03-2009.


Thanks,
Mulan

Thank You, Mulan, for your guidance for RQ.


Hello Everyone,

I am in need your advice & guidance on my planning for Citizenship Application (in near future), where I have not completed my 3-year residency (1095 days of physical presence). As on today, I have not applied for Citizenship.

In brief:
- Landed as PR in ON, Canada (Federal Skilled Worker): Landed in June 2008.
- Total PR days (physically stayed in Canada): 745 days, since June 2008.
- Citizenship days (Physical Presence - stayed in Canada): 745 days.
- Citizenship Days (Basic Residency -from the date of landing): 1110 days.

I understand, now, I am eligible for PR Card renewal (as I have completed 745 days of physical presence in Canada).

But, I am planning to apply for Citizenship on the basis of Basic Residency (Three years from the date of landing).
My concerns are as follow:

1: Any one has ever applied (even heard of) and got citizenship of Canada on the criteria of Basic residency - three years from date of
landing? I mean, 1095 Days Rule of Physical Presence, have not been completed?

2: Can professional advice and representation from lawyer can be of more help, prior to applying to Citizenship, in my case?

3: Godforbid, if my citizenship application is rejected, is there any chance that I will not be eligible for renewal of my PR card?


The personal and family situation is making me think in the direction of application for Citizenship on Basic Residency criteria
