Hey guys, So I'm eligible to apply for citizenship in about 3 weeks from now. I've actually passed all requirements for the last 4 years already but each year I travel a lot for work so often travel for more than 90 days within 12 months, which made applying very difficult. So in 3 weeks time I can apply and will meet all requirements, problem is, I foresee possible travel in July/August (60 days max). So questions:- 1) Should I put this down in my application even though it's not confirmed yet, will it harm my chances of approval? I might as well wait till end of the year if it does. 2) Once I submit the application and get sent an acknowledgement, apparently the wait time is now over a year before they even look at it. Does this mean that my application gets re-assessed on the random future date that they pick up my application, or is it automatic based on their system once its been submitted? 3) Will I be able to travel after I have submitted my application? Do I have to inform them every time I travel out of the country for work (as sometimes I get 1-2 days work trips) 4) At what point does travel dates as part of the requirement no longer matter? After the application is received/acknowledged, or only when it is picked up and "approved?" This is the part that confuses me as it'll be helpful to know so I can strategise my timing in applying for it and moving around work travel dates. Thanks so much, would appreciate any insights.
