IAD Appeal withdraw or NOT

[PMM]

Hi

781 days within your first five years of PR should qualify you for renewal. Ideally, your renewed card should have 5 years validity and you should be in your second 5-year residency period now... You might want to hire a good lawyer to sort this out. Wish you all the best.

The OP is claim those days from 2006-2008. CIC looks back 5 years. Depending on the date the OP returned to Canada, if it was today's date, for example, only time after Nov/07 would be considered.

Hello,

Any feedback on what happened next?
Cheers

Well - you definitely haven't met residency requirements. To meet residency requirements, you must live in Canada two out of every five rolling years (not just two out of every five years of your PR card validity).

I think you really can't do much now except wait for CIC to contact you.

What is the meaning of 'rolling years'?

What is the meaning of 'rolling years'?

Rolling years means that the residency obligation is ongoing and continuous. It's not chunked out into five year periods (some people believe the residency obligation period "resets" when a person gets a new PR card - this is incorrect and not how it works). At any given time, you must be able to look at the previous five years and have spend at least 2 of those years in Canada.
