Should I apply for a new PR Card?

[scylla]

Dear Members,

Life keeps preparing new surprises.

Now, I am meeting the RO but my company wants to assign me to the London office in the UK. I am currently working in the Montreal office.

So here is the question,

If I renew my PR card and go to the UK, can I still count days towards citizenship? My company is an American FinTech company operating almost everywhere in the world, it is not a Canadian company.

What would you suggest to do in such a case?

The time outside of Canada will not count towards citizenship. Even if the company was Canadian, it still would not count.

No.

I suggest you decide which is more important at this stage in your life: your career/job, or your desire to obtain Canadian citizenship.

Thank you for the response. I’ll stay in Canada to get my citizenship. There will always be opportunities everywhere in the world.

Thanks again.
