Hello everyone, hope you guys have a nice day. I am new to this forum.
So here is the situation, I am an international student who recently graduated from university. I am currently holding a post-graduate work permit (which will expire in 3 years). As I've heard that it is hard to get back to Canada for citizenship once I miss this chance. Therefore, I am struggling with should I stay in Canada to get the citizenship (for my parents and my future child or family) and then move back to Hong Kong which where I was born (mainly for my parents and it looks like more opportunities in HK than Canada), or go back to HK straight after the 3 years limit?
1. I am confused what is the qualifications? (how and approx. how long for the whole process from a post-graduate work permit holder to Canadian citizen?)
2. If I miss this chance to get the Canadian citizenship and forced to go back to HK, what are the chance for me(or with my parents) to go back Canada for the citizenship again? what are the costs and requirements?
3. Also, am I allowed to move back to HK once I get the Canadian citizenship or will I lose it once I decide to spend my time to develop my career path in HK before retirement? As if I could possibly lose the Canadian citizenship after moving back to HK, which is also mean I will waste all my time spent in Canada.
I am hoping to get more information before I make the final decision of staying in Canada for citizenship or going back to HK for my parents. Thank you for all your time!!
