Dear CD friends,
Would appreciate your views with regard to my daughter's circumstance, as follows:
1. She will complete her three year's stay in Canada in December 2008 and hence planning to file her citizenship application in December.
2. As she is planning to apply in US medical schools and also Manipal (India), she will have to travel out of Canada in June 2009 for her education.
3. Her PR card will expire in July 2009 and hence we are planning to apply for her PR card renewal in March 2009, hopefully she will get a renewed card for 5 years in June 2009.
4. Can she travel out of Canada using her renewed PR card when her citizenship application is under process.
5. Is it better to apply for citizenship with a Hamilton address or Brampton address.. what is the time scale for these two places for the final citizenship process.
6. What is the step by step process till we get the Canadian passport ?
a. Calling for test - will they give sufficient time when they call for the test, will she be able to travel to Canada from India to write the test.
b. After how many months from the test date they will call for interview with the judge.
c. Is the next step Oath and after how many months ? Is the Citizenship card issue immediately after this ?
d. After applying for the Canadian passport, how long they will take to issue the same ?
e. After the passport is issued, she will have to apply for visa to travel to India, how long the Indian Embassy will take to issue a student visa ?
f. Totally how many trips she will have to make to Canada, we would like to know how many breaks she will have to take from her education in India or US.
g. Date by which you expect her to finish all the above process and obtain the Canadian passport in hand for both Hamilton and Brampton address ?
h. Can you identify any flaws to the above route.. I would really appreciate your views ?

I am a Gents and not a Ladies.
Thank you very much for your detailed reply, which was very clear. I really appreciate it.
Hi,
I have been following this thread and it has been very informative to me. Many questions I have are common and hence I have taken care not to repeat them. My situation is as follows:
I complete the 1095 days criterion for citizenship application in December 2008.
I landed in Canada in August 2005 (as a Permanent Resident) and returned to India in early September 2005. The reason is that I had to make arrangements to relocate myself permanently to Canada since I landed myself a job in B.C during the one month visit in August 2005.
In Jan 2006, I returned to Canada and have stayed in B.C. since then. And I complete 1095 days of continuous stay in Canada in December 2008.
I intend to apply for Citizenship in December 2008 and leave in Jan 2009 to India due to a family concern.
I have the following questions:
1) Is it likely that my citizenship application will have an issue due to physical absence from Canada between September 2005 to Jan 2006? Please note that in December 2008, I complete 1095 days after factoring this absence.
2) Do I need to notify CIC since my absence is going to be more than 2 weeks?
Or would it be better to notify CIC since my absence is going to be more than 2 weeks?
3) I will have given my local guardian's address in the citizenship application and will expect my local guardian to follow up any mails/notifications from CIC and inform me so that I could travel to Canada when required. Could there be any issues here?
4) I would like to know how to follow up on tax returns filing in March -April 2009 when I am away in India?
5) Is there a form to fill out to sever financial ties with Canada? If yes, when is the best time to fill out this form. My concern is that filling out this form should not come in the way of the processing my citizenship application and increase chances of routing my case to the citizenship judge.
6) At the time of citizenship test or oath taking ceremony, will the CIC be aware of my physical absence from Canada after submission of my citizenship application? If yes, how?
I would really appreciate your advise/help with the above questions.
Thanks,
VD
