Hello,

There is one question I couldn't clarify, and wanted to ask you guys to see what your opinion is.

I had to spend 50 days outside of Canada since I became a PR. The current rule for the presence is:
You must have been physically present in Canada as a permanent resident for at least:


  • 1,460 days during the six years right before the date you sign your application
  • 183 days during each of four calendar years that are fully or partially within the six years right before the date you apply
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/become-eligibility.asp#time

When considering to apply for the citizenship, should I wait for 50 more days before I send my application, or is this double the time; 100 days? Even though I wasn't able to find anything indicating that; I kinda remember this from older discussions.. wanted to clarify.

Thanks!
