There is no such thing as "residency requirment" in the Citizenship Law. It is upto the the citizenship judge's discretion to decide. It's a law that many have been trying to amend for the last decade, however, it always becomes futile attempt. Last attempt was made right after the Quebec's separatio vote, and Jean Chretien's "What does being Canadian mean to you" campaign. It's a sensitive law that the feds are just too afraid of touching. And if any judge denies application for citizenship for not meeting the residency requirement, you can always appeal in the supreme court. In the mean time, you can stay in Canada. :) Sometimes, I wish someone gets the application denied and take the whole issue to the spreme court, just so that the issue will be clarified and written/amended. In the meantime, immigration/citizenship law lawyers are making their big bucks on consulting fee. (perhaps the it's the lobbying of these lawyers that stops the law from being amended.) :) |
