Whether you are a new PR holder or looking to renew your status, this guide serves as your roadmap to navigating the complexities of residency requirements in Canada.
Understanding the Residency Obligations
As a Canadian PR holder, you’re required to be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days within a five-year period. This rule ensures that permanent residents maintain a significant presence in Canada.
Calculating Your Physical Presence
The 730-day requirement can be met in various ways:
- Residing in Canada: Each day spent in Canada as a PR counts towards the 730 days.
- Accompanying a Canadian Citizen: If you’re a spouse or a child of a Canadian citizen, accompanying them abroad counts towards your days.
- Employment Abroad: Days spent working overseas for a Canadian business or government can be included.
Consequences of Not Meeting Residency Requirements
Failure to meet these requirements can result in the loss of your PR status. It’s crucial to keep detailed records of your travels and stays to demonstrate compliance.
Exceptions and Appeals
If you’re unable to meet the residency requirements due to exceptional circumstances, it’s possible to appeal the decision. In such cases, demonstrating your ties to Canada can be a crucial part of your appeal.
