New rules

[scylla]

Ok I'm a bit confused. I thought one would have to be a PR for six years. Can someone help me with when I'll be eligible?
I came here as a student August of 2009.
Became a PR in August of 2012.
Have traveled twice but not for a long period of time.

Thank you!

No - you do't have to wait 6 years. You just have to wait until you have 4 years of residency over a 6 year period since becoming a PR. So if your trips outside of Canada have been short - then you should qualify to apply sometime in 2016.

You qualify in Aug 2016 at the minimum. 4 years after you became PR.
