Hey Guys!
So earlier while i was at the office, i read this thread iver the internet regarding about PR sponsors who wants to live outside canada while waiting for their applications to be processed. I just want validation if this is true or not. Or maybe the rule got changed. It says:
"To meet these residency obligations, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period.
This means that you can spend a total of up to 3 years outside of Canada during a 5-year period. However, if you leave the country for an extended period of time, it is up to you to prove to Citizenship and Immigration Canada that you will be able to meet your residency requirements."
And the ling is settlement.org/discuss/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16811.
I wanted to live with my wife at her country while waiting for our application to be processed. I know Canadian citizens can do that but i am not sure about PR's. If my brain processed this correctly, it says to maintain PR status, the person should stay at least 2 YEARS within 5 years IN canada to maintain the PR status. I got here in Canada in april 2010. So im almost 3 years living here. Wish someone could clarify this.
Oh and yeah, wish you all the luck in the world messenger!
