You have to be in PR status to apply for citizenship, and lots of skaters never apply for Permanent Residency status in the country in which they train, opting for other legal statuses. It's expensive and time-consuming, and there are tax consequences. F-B/S also skated for Denmark through 2018, so earning status wouldn't have been a driver for competition.Sorensen has trained in Canada since 2010, he surely satisfies all those criteria easily.
Papadakis has been training in Canada since 2014 and opted not to, and, as a result, feared leaving Canada to go to Worlds, since she wasn't guaranteed re-entry, which Cizeron would have been, because he has status.
