If a spouse who is a PR is accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse, he/she doesn't have to fulfill the residency obligation of staying in Canada for 735 days in a five year period.




Interesting: the things i learn here. I never knew about this clause. This is quite helpful.

But yes, in order for her to be eligible for citizenship, she needs to be physically present in Canada for 1095 days in previous four years.



I know about this clause but still want to be safe. Say if USA does not work out and we want to move elsewhere we are free to do so since we are citizens.

Also I am not sure if say I am on TN and working in USA and she is still on PR can she work in USA? (on TN or via my application).

Btw you guys have been very helpful. Thanks for all the support in trying to make us yankies.

Not sure what you mean by this.

Wherever you go (except EU, but still you need holiday visa to work), you need visa to work. so what you mean by move elsewhere where are free to do?

did I miss something?

I guess only in Canada you are free (to work anywhere in Canada) but its same like PR..

^^ you are right. I am not making sense. Well I feel if we are all citizens we can try to go anywhere in the world and if things don't work out we can fall back. I don't trust the PR clause and how long it will stay intact. Also Canadian citizens are accepted worldwide easily and generally its easier to get a work visa/dual citizen etc with a canadian passport than with an Indian passport.

Once I have Canadian passports for all, then we can think global :)

She will be able to work only if she gets her own H1 status - she cannot work while on TD and TN is for canadians only.

I agree with your thoughts - it is always better to have the same citizenship status for all family members to avoid future hassles.
