Impact on Citizenship-Days physically spent outside Canada

[Nouman382]

Hi
My Employer is asking me to move on a project outside Canada. I have asked him to transfer me as Canadian Employee so that my Immigration and time towards citizenship doesn't gets stopped. I want to know what are the possible consequences and if I am choosing the option to transfer what thing should I ask the Employer to provide me?

You can count your time outside Canada if you work for a Canadian company.

You may count each day you were employed outside Canada if your employment meets the following requirements:

•as a term of your employment or contract, you are assigned on a full-time basis to: ◦a position outside Canada
◦an affiliated enterprise outside Canada or
◦a client of the Canadian business or the public service outside Canada


For this application, a Canadian business is defined as:
•a corporation that is incorporated under the laws of Canada or of a province and that has an ongoing operation in Canada
•an enterprise that has: ◦an ongoing operation in Canada
◦is capable of generating revenue
◦is carried out in anticipation of profit
◦in which a majority of voting or ownership interests is held by Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or Canadian businesses as defined above or

Already answered in your other thread - no, it doesn't apply to citizenship.

Your employer has to be the federal government or military for you to have a chance to get those days counted for citizenship.
