[FIYAZALI]

Hi Members
I visited Canada and became PR on 13th July 2016, i stayed in Canada until 19th December 2016 and am now currently working in KSA RIYADH, My question is if i return back to Canada for good (permanent move) in year 2019 1st Jan will i meet PR residency rules. My PR will expires in August 2021
As per my understanding i landed on 13th July 2016- left 19th December 2016= days 160 for year 2016
For year 2017=0
For year 2018=0
But from year 2019=365
Year 2020= 365
Year 2012 till august = 240 days
I believe i will be able to meet PR obligations requirements please correct my understating which will be really help and later on apply for citizenship once completing 4 years down the line
Thanks in advance

You need to stay 2 out of 5 years in Canada to retain your PR status.

The date of expiry on pr card has nothing to do with your residency. 5 years count from the date when you became PR .

For 2016 = 149 days
2017= 0 days
2018= 0 days
2019 =365 days
2020 =365 days
2021 = 31 days

This shows that you can renew your pr card as you meet the RO as long as you are staying for more than 730 days since you became PR in 5 year period.

Remember, you can only renew PR card as early as 6 months from the date of expiry.

So, if you consider the following (example PR card expires 1st August 2021) and renew your pr card dated 1st Feb 2021, you meet the RO and you can renew your card.

For 2016 = 149 days
2017 = 0 days
2018 = 0 days
2019 = 365 days
2020 = 365 days
2021 = 31 days (till Feb 1st 2021)

Total days: 910 days.

The date of expiry on PR card is irrelevant to determine your PR status. It's just a travel document.

The question are:
What's the date when your became PR of Canada?
What's the date you will be returning back to Canada?
