Dear All,
Please your advice,

I am a PR and working in the Red Sea ,Middle East, with non-Canadian company for 4 weeks followed by 4 weeks vacation (in Canada). and i want to know if the 4 weeks working outside Canada can be calculated +ve for the the citizenship or it will be considered as absence which mean it is impossible for me to get the citizenship if I continue 4 weeks in/4 weeks outside ?

Your help is highly appreciated ?

Yes. It is impossible to satisfy the the residency requirement for citizenship spending 50% of the time. In general, you need to be residing in Canada for at least 75% of the time in a 4 year period.
