  To All

Well you have accumulated your 1095 days and are deciding to apply for Citizenship, happy? - think again!

Approximately 60% - 70% of all Citizenship applicants are receiving a residency questionnaire (RQ). On the face of that comment what is there to worry about, this is Canada?

What could be so difficult, you answer one or two additional questions and submit a couple of documents. WRONG!

It is the applicants obligation to PROVE they have accumulated sufficient residency and Citizenship does not want one or two documents they want box loads of proof. Citizenship only gives you a limited amount of days to collect your proof of all entries and exits from Canada including trips to Buffalo for shopping.

PROOF means contact the American authorities and get them to provide you with proof.
PROOF means proving all stays in Hospitals and all medical records of you being seen by a Doctor which was billed to a provincial health insurance plan like OHIP.
PROOF means all bank transactions that show you went to the Bank in person and not by ATM.
PROOF means pay stubs and letters from all of your employers to establish you were actually working in Canada.
Etc. etc. etc.

Citizenship will inform you when your get your RG residency questionnaire DO NOT SUBMIT EVIDENCE until you have accumulated all evidence requested.

Now if you do not submit sufficient documentation with in a ridiculous short time frame your application for Citizenship will be deemed abandoned.

We now charge almost five times what we charged our first client who was asked to complete a residency questionnaire, RG and to make you clearly understand how many documents they submitted. Staples charged us $287.33 cents to photo copy their documents and I had to use a dolly to deliver their documents to the Scarborough CIC Office that had requested the RG. Still Citizenship has not assessed our proof of residency for our clients. Citizenship tells you that you must submit everything within a time frame but they do not understand what is prompt processing.

If you as a Permanent Resident & do not prove your residency CBSA may come after you to remove you from Canada for violating the residency requirements.

Worse we all make mistakes and if you´re ever convicted of a criminal offence and get sentenced to more than six months there will be no appeal of your removal order even if your the only bread winner in the family.

It is better to wait and not rush into applying for Citizenship but just don´t wait too long.

This is good information, Roy. Thanks.

So what is your recommendation on how long to wait before applying? About 100 days more than the required days would suffice?

what he is suggesting is to get his service... a dolly to deliver documents? 1000 applicants?

If all the time I´ve been staying in canada... what is there to prove beside pay stubs? is it my fault i am using ATM?

you are trying to make it sounds complicated where millions of immigrants did it themselves.

Biz must be very bad eh?

The high number of RQ could be just a result of an internal audit

In case all of you have not noticed there is a real big enforcement push happening with CIC,

When you have sufficient days NOT to be really questioned is when you should apply and not before.

We fix problems and do not like spending countless hours ensuring all the required documents on the RQ have been submitted. Most of all writing Citizenship requesting more time to complete the residency questionnaire.

Some people apply for Citizenship and have never worked in Canada which they think can be explained away just don´t tell that to the Citizenship Officer.
