This is an interesting topic. As Canadian economy going down lately, such cases might become more common.

I am wondering if you are employed by a US company's Canadian branch, rather than directly employed by the US branch, would it make a difference? And would it be better condition if you travel a lot to all other countries rather than just US?

Or if you can show your family and your house are in Canada, would that be helpful enough?

While value your suggestion, I was in similar situation, was short of less than 2 months that too to Immigration attorney's calculation mistake. After keeping me on back burner for almost 4 years, I had hearing with the Citizenship Judge.

Who refused even look at the solid proof I carried with me. The Judge told she does not have time and even if she approved the CIC would raise objections. Sadly, after 4 years of wait, the judge had less than 4 minutes for me....to force me withdraw and re-apply.

Bottom line, unless one has solid proof and accompany with strong attorney Only, its not worth the hassles. Dont expect the judges to follow the rules. Its bitter reality most of the candidate faces.

Though I sympathize, it's not a matter of 'following' the rules, it's a matter of interpreting them. Citizenship judges have been leaning against applicants without enough time for quite a while now -- applying with 2 months too few is a hopeless kind of pot-luck.
