Guys I have a question. Once you receive your PR card after moving to Canada, are you allowed to move to another European country for lets say a career boosting job/research assignment? How long do u have to stay in Canada to be considered for a citizenship? N how long do u stay if u want to continue being a PR? Plz advice. Thanks in advance.
Residency requirement
To maintain your status as a permanent resident, you must live in Canada for at least two years within a five-year period. During this time you must be here physically.
The two years may not need to be continuous. An officer can confirm if your time in Canada counts when you:
re-enter Canada, or
apply for a permanent resident card.
Time spent outside Canada may also count towards the two years if you are:
travelling with your spouse or partner who is a Canadian citizen,
a childFootnote 1 travelling with his or her father or mother who is a Canadian citizen,
an employee of (or under contract to) a Canadian business.
It may also count if you are:
travelling with your spouse or partner who is a permanent resident and works full-time for:
a Canadian business, or
the public service of Canada or a province,
a child travelling with his or her father or mother who is a permanent resident and who works full-time for:
a Canadian business, or
the public service of Canada or a province.
an employee of (or under contract to) the public service of Canada or a province and you are on a full-time assignment to:
a position outside Canada,
a partner business outside Canada, or
a client of the Canadian business or the public service outside Canada.
