Decision made after CJ Interview

[Exports]

No, I am not completing 1460 days. Also now I am not living in Canada at the moment. But my spouse is a Canadian citizen. I saw on their website that if your spouse is Canadian citizen and living with you, no matter wherever you are residing, it will be considered living in Canada. On that basis, I might re-apply.

Ya your days are counted if you are accompanying the Canadian spouse outside Canada. I was adviced this by one lawyer recently after new rule and told to visit with my Canadian spouse whenever I go out of the country so that I can claim the days under new rule. However I live here in Canada and also eligible to apply under the new rule with more than required days. But I have chosen to wait for the CJ hearing and possibly get rejected!

No, they are not - except for very specific cases.

Maybe it's time to find a new lawyer? (Again, unless it's a very specific case).
