Citizenship application dilemma
by (no login)Hello!
I became a permanent resident in June 2001, after living in Canada since 1997. I was away, with a returning resident permit, from September 2001 to May 2003. I applied for citizenship in September 2004. CIC started processing my application in MAy 2005 and sent me a residency questionnaire in June 2005, which I returned a month later with all the supporting documents requested. I haven't heard from CIC since, except the 2 occasions when I called and I was told I would be called for a hearing with a judge, but they couldn't tell me when. I've heard stories of people who have been waiting for over 30 months. In 5 days I will be completing the 1095 days of physical presence in the past 4 years, and I wonder whether it would be quicker to get the citizenship if I withdrew my current application and reapplied.
Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
