HI there
I would really appreciate your answer to my question, please.
I moved to Canada in November,1999.
I became a Permanent Resident of Canada in December,2008.
I have my valid PR card that just got renewed for 5 yrs.
I got married to a Canadian Citizen in February, 2014.
I meet all residency requirements as I only left Canada for 18 days between 1999 and beginning of 2014.
However, here is where it gets tricky:
My then-fiancee and I left Canada in January 2014 for his work.
We got married in February 2014 also outside of Canada.
I will not lose my residency requirement for PR card.
My question is:
Can I apply for Canadian Citizenship while living outside of Canada? (I'd be willing to come home any time necessary)
IF I cannot apply from outside of Canada, what do I need to do to apply? Can I go home, sign the citizenship paper and leave Canada again with my husband? Is that acceptable? Plus I would come home any time they would require me to.
I met the residency requirement for Canadian Citizenship as well.
Thank you very much
