Hi,

I am a bit confused of the new rule for residence matter,

going by the old posts i figure out that its a 2 -5 year rule, 2 years (730 days)in canada out of 5 , but in one message its given as 1095 days.

How many days can one stay out of canada in 5 years.
Thanks

Hi,

You can go through the following link.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/after-3.html

It's 2 years out of every 5 year period.

so i believe as the link says 2 out of 5 years is the new rule. so should forget the 1095 days rule then ?

To keep the residency you have to stayed here in Canada 2 years in 5 years.

To apply for citizenship - you must have stayed in Canada for 1095 days during last 5 years.
