Hi there, just helping my partner fill out his PR renewal online, and I'm a bit confused about the "Time Spent Outside Canada" section. All of his time spent outside Canada has been with me (a Canadian citizen) for vacations. Would he choose option B (accompanying Canadian citizen who is common-law partner) or other (vacation)? Thanks in advance!
Your reason for absence must be one of the following options:
A: You have been employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or in the federal public administration or the public service of a province.
B: You have been accompanying a Canadian citizen who is your spouse or common-law partner or, in the case of a child, your parent.
C: You have been accompanying a PR who is your spouse or common-law partner or, in the case of a child, your parent and who is employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or in the federal public administration or the public service of a province.
Other: employment, studying, vacation, etc.
