abroad and getting citizenship

[ciscoccie]

A PR lives abroad (out of canada) while working for a canadian private limited company. Will these days be counted towards citizenship requirements?

No, it has to be either military or employee of Canadian embassy

No, and it's quite possible that they may not be counted as days towards the residency obligation requirements either. You should seek professional advice to be on the safe side, as it will depend on the exact circumstances of your employment and temporary assignment abroad.

1. They won't be counted, Citizenship requires physical residence in Canada.

Maybe I should have been clearer... The professional advice comment was exclusively related to meeting the Residency Obligation requirements and not citizenship physical presence requirements. Sorry for any confusion.
