1095 day rule

[dancingbear]

Hi,

I have been a landed PR since July 2010. After a 200 day absence following my landing I returned to Canada and have been here ever since March 2011. As of today I have 950 days of Physical presence in Canada. I have just excepted a job to move to the USA with my current company, to work on a Canadian project from the US.
When I leave I expect that I will be 30days sort of the 1095 days.

My girlfriend is a Canadian citizen and is accompanying me to the US so I am not concerned about losing my PR.
I own a house in Canada and have been paying taxes here for the last 3 years.

I was wondering if I can make return trips to push me over the 1095 days? What is required in terms of 'residency' and physical presence? If I keep certain ties can I justify I am still resident even though I am not working in Canada?

The alternative is to apply with less than 1095 days but it seems unlikely that I would be successful in getting citizenship based on other posts.

Thanks

there is no way now a days that your application will go through if your physical presence is less than 1095 days.

One should always add another 30+ days to 1095 days and then apply for citizenship, in case if there is any mistake in counting the number.

Unless you are sure you should not apply for exact number of days. It is always worth to wait another month or two rather than sending incomplete Citizenship application and then get RQ and so much other documentation requirement which is eventually will take another 6-12 months.
