I know, in order to maintain MY permanent residency, I must meet residency obligations to maintain MY status as a permanent resident.
To meet these residency obligations, I must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period.
This means that you can spend a total of up to 3 years outside of Canada during a 5-year period.
MY QUESTION R:
1- This 3 yrs time can be used as one time -window OR visits randomly can be sumed up to 3 yrs??
2- I heard from people here that the new law is one must be present in CA for six months in every one yr ,is this true ?
3- NOW 4 yrs are required in six yrs to maintain permanent residency ?
Yes, to meet these residency obligations, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period.
This means that you can spend a total of up to 3 years outside of Canada during a 5-year period. However, if you leave the country for an extended period of time, it is up to you to prove to Citizenship and Immigration Canada that you will be able to meet your residency requirements.
You can stay outside for up to 3 years straight, however, many of our users have recommended that this not been done. This is because in the event you have stayed outside for the total of 3 years, return to Canada and then something happens and you are required to leave Canada, you will not be able to meet your residency requirements.
Regarding your second and third questions,
You must be physically present in Canada for 183 days (minimum) per year in 4 out of 6 years for Citizenship Eligibility.
You must be living in Canada for 4 years (1,460 days) out of 6 years is for citizenship eligibility.
