Immigration judge

[screech339]

First of all I want to thank everyone for their responses. Some mentioned a few points that I looked into and used and it really helped my case. I prepared well for the citizenship judge, so much so that the CJ asked me if I've ever thought of becoming a litigator! He was very pleased with my presentation.

SECOND:
I want to let everyone know that my citizenship case has been approved and I'll become a Canadian citizen on Sep 24th 2015.

Summary
I landed in Canada as an international student on Aug 6th 2005,
I became a landed immigrant on Aug 28th 2009 when my family came to Canada,
I submitted my citizenship application on Aug 28th 2011 when I had to leave to US for graduation studies,
I applied despite having 115 days less than the required 1095,
I wrote my citizenship exam in September 2014,
I was told I have to see a citizenship judge in July 2015.

I showed that I still have ties in Canada: financial, family, apartment, and had testimonials from people in industry and universities about my contributions to Canada while I was there.

After 10 years of coming to Canada, and 4 year struggle after submitting my citizenship application, ... DONE.

Congratulations on getting your citizenship.

Thanks,
No they were in letter form with their companies letter head. At the time of the hearing the judge only opened one of them and read it.
