Re: Citizenship time line
Periods of travel and numerous absences from Canada as opposed to the odd 4 week vacation once a year would be my guess.

Re: Citizenship time line
That's what I would have though but both were similar in that respect: a pair of married Brits working for Canadian banks in Toronto travelling fairly often to the US for a week at a time but not for more than a total of around 6 weeks a year. They applied separately after 5 years of residence - one got the RQ, the other didn't. It looked pretty random to me, but I'm assuming there's multiple things being taken into consideration.

What is in this Residency questionnaire and why would it slow the process so much?

Re: Citizenship time line
Am I reading this right? You wait three years to apply for citizenship then another three years to get it? That's crazy!

Re: Citizenship time line
They quote 25 months for citizenship. That is a cake walk compared to many people's PR processes.
Besides whose actually waiting???

Re: Citizenship time line
I'm not sure why it would take so long to process one though.
