What happens if a couple landed in Canada, and one of them decided that not to stay
in Canada, and the other remained in Canada. Will this disqualify their application
for Citizenship after 3 years?

Each person must qualify individually for citizenship and there will be no
implications on person's eligibility if his or her spouse abandons Canada. But the
person who abandoned Canada or didn't meet residency and other requirements will not
be eligible to apply for citizenship.

Would there be problems for this commuter marriage when the non-resident Canadian
spouse visits the Canadian resident? Because the kind of Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal
(pick 2 of 3) or New York-Boston-Washington-Philadelphia (pick 2 of 4) "power couple"
relationships can't fly, moreso due to the US INS, when an international border is in
the mix unless both members of the couple are US citizens; permanent residents even
have a hard time. One US PR/Swiss pair that we cautioned ("friendly advice" to the
verge of butting in) "knew better" ... and are now apart for 5 years unless she
travels to Switzerland regularly ... and their immigration lawyer is suing for
US$17,000 in fees for bad advice that basically said what the couple wanted to hear.

So let's say this becomes Montreal-Geneva ... what happens?
