Where does it state you have to meet Residency obligation? I just talked to an immigration lawyer who confirmed that it's okay. I've been gone from Canada since 2019, I haven't been gone over 4 years. The obligation is to be here 2 of every 5 years and it doesn't matter if that's done 6 months...

Thanks for the help. I am a PR since 2014. My latest PR card is from 2019 so expires July 2024 so therefor I am still a full resident and will be returning to Canada as soon as I can for work.

Does anyone know are the interviews online as well over a zoom as well as the test? How do they do it

Oh yes, well I plan to come back soon, and before my days go out of course but wanted to apply asap to get the ball rolling from here

At the moment I've been absent 641 days so I have 1,185 days and can still apply but I want to sooner than later

I left October 2019. I will update here when or if I find any more information. I may just get a friend in Canada to call them, it doesn't connect through from outside of Canada
