Thank you dear PPM for your prompt answer, I have to give more information about my situation to get clear answer;
I am living outside canada and working since three years as representative for immigration services company
when get any immigration applicant I collect his documents and fill the applications then send to immigration company.
I am comming to canada from time to time and stay few months and go back to middle east.
This is my situation now with clear picture.
My inquiry can I apply to renew the P.R. again if I do not like to apply for citizenship as I am working for the last
three years for a canadian Company and I have proof (experience letter from the canadian company).
CIC did not want PRs setting up mom and pop businesses that posted them abroad to get round the PR requirements. If your company meets the 'Canadian Business' criteria below then employment time is counted for PR if not sorry no dice.
