To be eligible to become a Canadian citizen, you must:
  • be a permanent resident.
  • have lived in Canada for 3 out of the last 5 years.
  • have filed your taxes, if you need to.
  • pass a test on your rights, responsibilities and knowledge of Canada.
  • prove your language skills.

Hi Team of Experts

I have one question. To maintain pr status, one should remain in canada for 730 days in last 5 years. If a person has remain outside canada for 6 months and rest of the time in canada (4 years and 6 months), is it considered to be as a very good standing of record to meet residency obligations. I have 1600 + days in canada and rest of the days i was in my home country. Exactly how many number of days present in canada by the applicant IRCC looks before renewing his or her pr card?

Thanks and regards

So in the last 5 years, if you said "he or she" stayed in Canada for 1600 days within 5 years. That person was only outside for 225 days.
And this is EXACTLY what IRCC looks at when they get his/her PR card renewal application. Stay in Canada more than 730 days in the last 5 years.

So that person can apply and he/she is comply with the RO. Is that really your question? Am I missing something?
