Is it ok to leave the country after citizenship application has been lodged? What lead me to ask this question is that, I got a job offer from another country and I wanted to go there, because, although it´s a temporary job, which would last a year, it´d give me a chance to built better cv because of being quite challenging. It would raise my chances of getting higher pay job once I come back. In next month I´ll be eligible to apply for citizenship. So I´d like to know if it is ok to leave the country after I send in my application.

Yes.
You may have to come back to write your test and come back again for your citizenship ceremony. Make sure that you leave a valid mailing address and someone can keep you inform of any mail from CIC.

Thanks for your answer Docd. But, one more question though;how long does it usually take to process citizenship application?According to CIC website, it takes 15-19 months. I´m wondering if there was any case where application have been processed faster than that time frame. And again thanks very much for your reply.

It might take less than 15 months, and it might take 4-6 months only. There are several factors involved.
Finally, congratulations and enjoy your new job.

No, it doesn´t take 4 to 6 months. You shouldn´t advise if you don´t know.
Here are the time lines:

"During the processing of your application for Canadian citizenship, you should only contact CIC if you:
*change your address;
*plan on leaving Canada for more than two weeks in a row ..."

@EDU So that means I need to inform CIC before I leave then. I´m not sure it´s gonna change anything, but I have sister living here and planning to impart authority to her so that she would be able to communicate with CIC if anything arise.
