Hi there,

I was an international student completed Education in Ontario. Lived in Ontario for 5 years I recently received my PR through ONIP International Student Stream. My total years of staying in Ontario 2 years on study permit 3 years on the work permit.

Does My stay in Canada on the Work permit or Study Permit Count, When I wish to apply for Citizenship under new citizenship rules?

Greatly appreciated if you could answer my question or any input!

Thank you!

When the law changes this year, people will once again be able to claim up to one year of pre-PR time towards the citizenship residency requirement.
