NEW LAW : 4 YEARS OVER 6 ? instead of 3 over 5.

[jabs]

hello

i heard that they will change the law for the citizenship to be : 4 years over 6 . instead of the current one 3 years over 5. is this true? will it be applicable on all people or only for the new cases?

and if it is true , will this affect the residency obligations to renwew the PR card?
let me ellaborate my question: now the condition to renew a PR card is to stay in canada for 730 days with 5 years ( starting the landing date). if the new law is applied (4 over 6) , will this mean that we have to be in canada 730 days within 6 years (instead of 5) - this can give me more time to be outside canada for an additional year.

thanks

Citizenship residency requirements and PR residency requirements are independent. There are no changes proposed to the PR residency requirement. Only the citizenship residency requirement is changing.

As pointed out this is for CITIZENSHIP where the time required to live in Canada is increasing by a year. PR obligation remains at 730 days of every 5 years. So, no you will not be getting any additional time

Pretty simple, 4 years residence in the 6 years before you apply and 183 days residence in Canada in 4 of those years.

Also, the physical presence is a mandatory minimum of 1460 days. None of this vague subjective residency stuff any longer
