Hello all,
I might be receiving my Canadian PR in a few months, I have sent all my documents 2 weeks ago and so far haven't received any message or question. I have heard from a few people that have already applied that it's usually taking upto 2 months these days. Now here's my question. I would like to stay in Canada for 3 years on my PR as soon as possible, to be eligible to obtain Canadian citizenship.
I have heard some of my friends mention that for residency purposes, you could stay in Canada but work in the US on a daily basis and that would still count towards your stay in Canada. For example, if I were to find a job in Detroit Metro Area and live in Windsor, Canada and commute to work everyday and go back to Canada in the evening. If I keep doing this for let's say 3 years, would that count as eligible time to apply for a Canadian citizenship? I would be working in the US on an H1B visa btw, which I am on at the moment.
Please let me know if this is a feasible scenario.
