Greetings, A colleague applied for Canadian citizenship along with his children, 16 and 6 year old. He is worried if his application is rejected for not fulfilling residency obligations....does that also mean rejection of the children's application for citizenship as well? He applied at the same time with his children, and mailed it in one envelope. Thoughts?
Worried about getting rejected...
- Thread starter fasoola7321
- Start date
If he is sure he is not fulfilling residency obligations why did he apply in the first place
He either had enough days or not, it’s simple math ... if not, then it will be rejected
If his children applied separately and had enough days then it shouldn’t be rejected, but if they had the same problem then they will be rejected too
Most likely his children applied unter section 5(2), so their parent must get citizenship or they won't either.
Only if the children applied under section 5(1) which is very unlikely, will they be considered independently.

The validity of the online calculator depends on the accuracy of ALL dates of travel entered. Many, many applicants make mistakes in entering the data. Some of the commonly made mistakes only affect the calculation by a day or three, like applicants who rely on passport entry stamps, into another country, for dates of exit from Canada (which are often off by a day or two). More than a few fail to account for each and every trip, so fail to account for days or weeks abroad. For those who make mistakes, an overriding issue is whether they applied with enough of a buffer to cover the error.
So, no, just because an applicant used the online calculator that does not mean the calculation is accurate. It is only as accurate as the data entered. We all make mistakes (those who are sure they did not make any mistakes are almost always mistaken about that). This is why the conventional wisdom urges prospective applicants to WAIT to apply until they have a comfortable margin, a "buffer," over the minimum presence requirement. To accommodate oversights and other errors.
