Dear All,
I first take time to appreciate the moderators and contributors of this Forum. I find this platform exceptionally organised and handy in most of the times whenever I find any difficulties in the process or procedures. So kudos to all.
This is my first query to the Forum and it may have two parts to it. Thank you for the time and efforts for the possible response. Sorry for a long thread.
My Scenario.
I'm working in UAE and received my Visa for entry and must enter Canada by 1st week of Feb-2020. I'm planning to stay for 40 days and return to the UAE to continue my work for a while.
My question as follows
1. Soft landing
Since I'm planning for a soft-landing. Tentatively 1-Feb-2020 to 10-Mar-2020. Are these 40 days sufficient for soft-landing and receive my PR card?
Until how long is it advisable to stay in UAE after getting the PR card?
I have planned to stay for one more year in UAE and then visit Canada on Jan 2021. (So to add in the equation, Say, I planned to stay out of Canada 30 days per year on an average.) Will it be sufficient to show 1095 days by end of the 5th year (2025)?
2. Physical Presence
I'm aware that one must be present in Canada for 1095 days in 5 years. One of my friend in Canada mentioned that every day we stay out of Canada, it will be considered as two days off. Means one month vacation out of Canada will be considered as two months without physical presence How far is that true?
