Leaving Canada after citizenship application

Hello
I have been a landed immigrant for 3 yrs 9 months. I completed my 1095 days in May 2005 and applied for citizenship in May 2005. I received an acknowlegdement letter dated June 30, 2005.
My husband (who is not a Canadian citizen) has moved to Miami for work reasons. I do not want to jeopardize my citizenship application and am not planning on moving until my citizenship comes through.
My question is: I was planning on sending an addendum to my application to request and expedited processing service with my husband's job as the primary reason. I wanted to attach his letter of employment and our marriage license to support that appeal. Will sending those documents make any difference?
Will the CIS suspect that I am leaving Canada and therefore not grant me citizenship on that basis?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

1. No, they won't expedite, so you are looking at another year, give or take for test and oath.
2. You can leave Canada once you have applied and met the residency requirement, but you will have to return for the test and the oath. Ensure that you have a Canadian address for Citizenship that will pass on the appointment dates quickly. If you miss them, you will wait and wait for a re-schedule.
