hello all,
I am US citizen, got my Canadian Permanent resident card in feb 2009. Spent the follwing 8 months in canada, then decided with the wife that the US would be better for working. Have spent the past 25 months in the US. I read on canadian immigration page that in order to keep my Canadian Permanent Resident Status I must have 2 years of 5 years in Canada. Below is what I found:
"Canadian Permanent Residents must meet certain residency obligations or they may lose their Permanent Resident status. Two years of "residency days" must be accumulated in every five-year period. Residency days need not be consecutive and may be accumulated inside or even outside of Canada, in the following ways:
Inside Canada:
By physical presence
Outside of Canada:
By accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse/common-law partner, or
As a child accompanying a parent, or
By employment on a full-time basis with a Canadian enterprise or the Public Service of Canada, or
By accompanying a Canadian Permanent Resident who is outside Canada and who is employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian enterprise or the Public Service of Canada, as the employee's spouse/common-law partner or child. "
My Question: do I meet these qualifications as accumulating time to keep my status on PR Card because I am in the US "accompanying a canadian citizen"(outside of canada) and living with my wife in the US?
Thank you, any advice is much appreciated.
