Technically yes, but for the first 2 years he must enter the country every 180 days at least so he will not lose his/her PR , also he will not be able to apply Jan 2020 as he/she needs to submit 3 taxes report and normally the one for 2019 will not be ready by Jan 2020Hasan9999 said:

Your statement "but for the first 2 years he must enter the country every 180 days at least so he will not lose his/her PR" is incorrect . the only obligation in the PR is to be present at least 2 years in 5 years . so let say he was outside Canada for the first 2 years after he became a PR and then he spent the following 3 years in Canada- he will still maintain his PR status.

For people who thinks that the majority want Bill C-6 to pass so we leave Canada and never come back, this is not true we hope it passes and comes in effect ASAP so we have the feeling of accomplishment of becoming a Canadian citizen, also some of us are refugees who couldn't and can not see their families for long time now and trust me it is a worst feeling ever when you hear a member of you family is in need and you are helpless and can not even see them
just wanted to share my thoughts .............. and i'm still optimistic

You are correct . 730 days every 5 years period but you should not count the years that you spent less than 183 days - lets say first year after becoming a PR you spent 2 months and then you left for another year - you can not count 60 days of the first year .danhass said:
don't spread false information - check CIC website first ( and nowhere in there was the 183-day issue mentioned):AmirATM said:
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.

They won't wrap it up after this meeting , i think , since the last committee meeting has to be dedicated to study the bill clause by clause which is not scheduled nor mentioned on their orders . So my guess is that they will meet again around march 1st and 2nd and at this moment then, it should be over . If the bill has to go back to the HoC , we are looking at longer delays , April in the best case scenario for the bill to pass . But who knows huh ?nick82 said:
You dont seem you are reading. see below from CIC ; so dont spread false information and starting reading a bit -Check CIC website first .itsmyid said:
The Citizenship Act also requires a person to be physically present in Canada for at least 183 days during any four (4) calendar years that are fully or partially within the six (6) years immediately before the date of the application.
I found interesting updates about this bill in an article on the Calgary Herald:
Source: http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/national/dramatic+increase+people+having+canadian+citizenship+revoked/12888212/story.html
Excerpts:
"The Senate is planning to patch a hole in the Liberals’ update to immigration legislation, Bill C-6, to make sure people whose citizenship is revoked can argue their case in court. A Senate committee begins its study Wednesday."
"Paterson said he has been talking to senators about amendments. So has NDP MP Jenny Kwan, who tried amending the bill in a House of Commons committee but had her amendments ruled out of scope.
“It was frankly astounding to me that (the Liberal government) neglected to fix that critical part in the bill,” she said. “Virtually all of the witnesses came forward to say that we need to restore due process.”
The Senate sponsor of Bill C-6, independent senator Ratna Omidvar, confirmed there are plans to table such amendments in the Senate, likely at third reading."
"Saying the bill’s passage is long overdue, Omidvar predicted things could wrap up in March. But its passage through the Senate will come with controversy, especially as Tory senators are expected to assert their belief that citizenship should still be revoked from convicted criminals."
