Just thought about this yesterday...

I am a landed immigrant in Canada... have been for nearly five years. I am planning on applying for my Canadian citizenship before we leave so that, no matter how long we're away, we can live anywhere in Canada or the US without worrying about our "status." (My husband plans to apply for his US citizenship as soon as he's eligible as well.)

Anyway... I was thinking about this whole domicile thing, and that it might be a bit of a challenge already seeing as how I haven't maintained a true residence there. One way I've read to help establish domicile is to show that you're severing your ties with the place you've been residing. We're doing this by selling our house, but I'm wondering if they might consider my application for Canadian citizenship as a strike against me? I know dual citizenship isn't a problem, but... you never know.

If anyone else has been through a similar situation, I'd love to hear your experiences. Thanks!

Mutually exclusive... one has no bearing on the other... it won't even be an issue for them... There have been a few people on here that were in the process of getting their CDN Citizenship while applying... they went through without a problem...

Thanks for the quick reply - I feel much better.
