Out of country for Citizenship test
We've just had Baby Live to Ski #2, and are planning on using the very generous Canadian parental leave to do 3 months of traveling outside of Canada over the next few months.
(We did a 6 month backpacking trip round Eastern Asian with our parental leave with Baby Live to Ski #1 back in 2010).
But.....we sent our Citizenship application off in Feb 2012.
What happens if we are called up to take the test whilst we are away?
Can taking the test be deferred to when we are back?

Re: Out of country for Citizenship test
Found it!

I guess this could also be for CIC to ensure you meet your PR / time in Canada obligations too, but hopefully for us it will mean that we aren't called for test whilst we are away

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;
are charged with a criminal offence;
have not received any information on your file within the general processing times.
