Dear All,
I'm a Canadian PR. My PR card expires on Jan 2013. Its been 4 years since I got the PR and I have been out of canada for almost 3 years (2 years and 360 days to be exact). So I need to spend one more year in canada before I renew my PR.
I'm now employed in Canada and I live in canada. I want to visit my home country,India somewhere in mid 2012. According to what I know, I need to spend 730 days in canada (that is till end of 2012) before I can go out.
My friend is saying that is not necessary. I can visit inida in mid 2012, since I live in Canada and work here in canada. As far as the PR card is not expired & I don't live for more than 3 months outside at a stretch, I can visit India any time eventhough I don't satisfy the 730 day rule. IS THIS CORRECT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CLARIFY ?
