I am a PR card holder (roughly 6 months) and my common law partner is a Canadian citizen, both currently living in Montreal.
If we both move to the UK to work for roughly 4 years as a full time employee for a non Canadian Business, do I meet the requirements of accompanying a Canadian citizen to count as days obligated while we are abroad?
According to other posts with similar, but not exact, it seems the wording from this document implies it is ok. https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/resources/manuals/enf/enf23-eng.pdf
Specifically "as long as a permanent resident is accompanying a Canadian citizen, the intent and purpose of their absences are not relevant as the residency obligation is met."
Ideally I will be getting a primary work permit to work in the UK at a non Canadian Business, as well as my partner sponsored by the company. We just want to make sure I would not lose my permanent residency status if we are working abroad.
This is very important to us, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Scotty
