Hi all

I have a question.. i am due to apply for naturalisation soon.. but my company wants me to move to canada for few years....

Ofcourse i dont want to miss the opportunity to get uk citizenship as i intend to return here... but is there a clause that may stop us from moving out immidiately after getting uk passport ?

What happens wen i come back after say 2-3 years will i still be accepted as uk citizen or will i have to face some questions at immigration? ?

Thanks

Did you read AN forn at all?
They asking what is your intention after getting BC, I can imagine they expect to see one of the UK members there.
You can say you will be moving to Canada and than coming back to the UK in few years and see what they will do.
If you state on the form something whats not true than according to them they can get you prosecuted.

I think after getting UK passport there is no limit on absence from UK and nobody will stop on return for working abroad.

there is no limit but they asking on the form what is your intension, where would you like to live in future.

Human intentions are always changeable depending on better chance/opportunity.

Unlike ILR, which expires if you do not return within two years, there is no limit on the amount of time you can spend outside the country as a British citizen.

As a British citizen, you have the right of abode in the UK and the immigration officer can not question you on when you return. His duty is to make sure of your identity. They may be issues if you are on an international terrorist watchlist, but even then, you will be detained in a prison here and not be deported.

If you are in Canada for five years, I believe that you can also get Canadian permanent residency and then Canadian citizenship. You can hold both simultaneously.

This sounds logical... but 5 yrs is too long my assignment won't be that long...

After you obtain the British Citizenship you can go wherever you want. Just don't open a tin of worms by mention in AN form that you are moving to Canada. Simply they can reject your application as you don't meet the future intention to live in UK condition or ask you for an interview to dig inside your mind. So to be in the safe side keep your AN form simple for the caseworker.

Beautiful advice excellent advice

Ukba only knows what we tell them they haven't got a crystal ball to see what's in persons mind or what's their future intentions.

Then you dont have to worry, since you will be returning to UK anyway, so just put on AN form the country you'd be making your home on your return (England/Scotland/Northern Ireland/Wales). Good luck.
