I have lived in and worked in Toronto - Canada for the past 3 years and paid taxes. Last month I completed the 1096 days required to be in Canada before applying for Canadian citizenship and I submitted the application on the 8th of March 2005 . At the time being I'm being offered a job outside of Canada (the Middle East) and would like to know if there would be any problem with me leaving the country while I wait for processing of application and then coming back to take the test and later on the oath once I'm notified. I just want to make sure CIC would have no problem with that. I want to be on the safe side here and would appreciate any info/experiences others had ..thanks in advance
