Hi guys,
I'm wondering how many days one has to stay in Canada after getting PR. I have a job in USA and planning to continue it until a get a better job in Canada. So, if approved PR, I will have to take leave from my current job and enter Canada. Please let me know how many days do I need to stay there to get all formalities done. Thank you in advance.

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 might have changed as per new law passed for citizenship. I am not sure about the impact on PR.

I too would be doing the same.

You can leave as soon as you finish the landing process if you'd like to do so.

Just make sure someone can mail you your PR card later on.
