"183 Day Rule and Bill C-11"

According to Section 28 of Bill C-11 a permanent resident complies with the residency obligation with respect to a five-year period if, on each of a total of at least 730 days in that five-year period, they are physically present in Canada.

The section does not mention anything about 183 Day Rule.
Will 183 Day Rule still apply if the new Bill C-11 is implemented?

Thank you.

At present, it appears that the 183 Day Rule will be eliminated. There is no mention of such in either the proposed Act or Regulations.

On February 9th 2002, a second "tranche" of the Regulations will be published, which could specify similar provisions. If not, however, then the 2 of 5 year provisions would replace the 183 Day Rule entirely.
