Hi Guys,
Things seem really messed up right now for me. I am Male (31). Did my masters from Canada and then got my PR in Nov 2017 and then moved out of Canada in 2019 April due to family reasons and have not been able to return since. Later in 2019 July, got married. And then came the pandemic due to which I got stuck and could not move back. My PR expires in Dec 2022.
Now that I am planning to move back, I am extremely confused on;
- How many days do I need to live in Canada to get my citizenship? I have lived from Nov 2017 till April 2019 (17 months). That leaves me with 19 months more. I was off the assumption that I need 7 months more only as my time before my PR will count (12 months). But recently I have also learnt that the time will be counted in last 5 years only. As per all this, is my time before PR going to be counted?
- If I am not eligible for citizenship, would I be eligible for renewal of my PR?
- How to get my wife to Canada along with me? What's my best bet? (Study visa? Is there any kind of work permit?)
Any help would be appreciated guys. Really tensed right now.
Thanks in advance.
