hey guys,
seems, I am stuck for one more year before applying for Citizenship.
Just read at
https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/rescalc/resCalcStartNew.do:
When calculating your time in Canada:
- only the five (5) years immediately before the date of your application are taken into account;
- each day you were physically present in Canada as an authorized temporary resident or protected person before you became a permanent resident counts as half a day (up to a maximum of 365 days);
- each day you were physically present in Canada after you became a permanent resident counts as one day;
- time spent serving a sentence for an offence in Canada (e.g. serving a term of imprisonment, probation and/or parole) cannot be counted towards your physical presence - there are some exceptions.
Based on this is it a right statement:
- if I apply today, the time spent in Canada will start counting only from Feb 13, 2014? So the time before Feb 13, 2014 can not be included into the presence calculation?
Thanks in advance!
