PR/Citizenship Residency Obligation

09-08-2004, 03:05 PM

In order to keep residency status, one must spend 2 years out of every
5 in Canada, or be employed by a Canadian company abroad for example
(see info from cic website below).
Does this rule of days spent outside Canada on a full-time job with a
Canadian company also apply to the 1095 days necessary to apply for
Canadian citizenship?

Thanks!

CIC website excerpt:

"Permanent residents comply with residency obligations if they
accumulate two years of physical presence in Canada in every five-year
period. If they are outside Canada for extended periods of time, they
can accumulate residency days if they are:

1/ accompanying a Canadian spouse or common-law partner, or are a
child accompanying a parent;
2/ employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or the Public
Service of Canada; or
3/ the accompanying spouse, common-law partner or child of a permanent
resident who is outside Canada and who is employed on a full-time
basis by a Canadian business or the Public Service of Canada."

No, it doesn't. Immigration matters, including residency obligation to
maintain PR status are ruled by Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
(IRPA).

Citizenship matters are ruled by completely separate law - Citizenship Act.
Under this law days of absence may be counted towards residency requirement
only if accompanying a spouse who is a Canadian citizen and is abroad in
public service working for Canadian or Provincial government or serving in
Canadian armed forces. Working for Canadian company abroad doesn't count.

No it does not. For citizenship, you must be physically resident within
Canada.

I had a case in life. My friend lost in a real casino the house. Wife left and took the children and the work he had lost. But as another friend once told him that at online casinos, he won a car! Well, first friend went to Internet cafes to register with the casino, got free chips for $ 10 and won in 2 hours which was enough money to rent an apartment. Then he won both the home and car, but his wife has not returned! Because he met a girl who did not cast him into trouble and was close! That is life, my friends!
