Citizen's years

[Zaloot]

Hi everybody,

If like got the approval by today and applied to PR than got the PR after two years .. so is this two years will be counted of the 3 years of citizen ?

If yes so can I have a proof from the CIC site .. if not, thanks

Time counted towards citizenship starts after you receive your PR status, not before.

Thanks Bro, But I heard that the time that between the approval and get the PR It will be calculated by half, Is it true ?

I believe so, but only up to 1 year (2 years presence would get you the 1 year). So you need 2 additional years after the PR.

So is there any proof of that in CIC site ?

Changes haven't been made yet. It's expected this fall. Look up Bill C-6.

That's what my lawyer told me as well.
