Dear Robert,

I know which postings you are talking about. Unfortunately, the message is =
not clear as it still leaves you guessing. I was looking for a straight ans=
wer and therefore had asked a straight forward question.=20

Could you enlighten me by telling exactly which posting talks about my ques=
tion on what is the time it takes to process the application for citizenshi=
p?

Good Day!

Your questions are kind of incompatible. Staying out of Canada the maximum=
permitted time would prevent you from obtaining citizenship.

    > I think and what I came to know is, when you land and spend 3 years of the last four years physically present in canada, you can apply for citizenship. And after submission of application it takes about 8 to 10 months. Some times a year or may be longer.I hope your question is satisfied now.

I wonder if some one spend 3 years, apply for citizenship amd go out
from canada for more than 183 days because he is still waiting for an
interveiw and is out side canada. Will he be facing problems in his PR
or citizenship? Is it necessary for some one to stay untill he gets
his oath? Can any one answer this?

You are asking 2 different questions here, ruled by 2 different laws.

First - requirements to be eligible to apply for citizenship. It is ruled by
Citizenship Act that requires Canadian Permanent Resident to accumulate
1,093 days of residence in Canada as PR within 4 years immediately preceding
citizenship application to be eligible to apply. Then add about a year for
the citizenship application process.

Second - Permanent Residents must be physically present in Canada for at
least 730 days (2 years) in every 5 years period in order to maintain PR
status.

Being in Canada only for time required to maintain PR status (2 out of 5
years) will never make you eligible for citizenship under current law.
