In theory, to keep a PR status one needs 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period in Canada.

However, the Bill-C24 confuses me in that it mentions:
New residency requirements of 4 years (1,460 days) out of 6 years for citizenship eligibility
Permanent Residents must be physically present in Canada for 183 days (minimum) per year in 4 out of 6 years

Now, you can't have 1460 days out of 6 is one of the years you have only 183 days. So, are these 183 days per year for keeping PR status?

So, is it 2 years out of 5 to keep PR, or is it 4 years with 183 days each out of 6 to keep PR?

Bill-C24 has nothing to do with permanent residency. This bill is for citizenship only.

Hello Dear

Can any friend can tell me when is probably C-24 going to effective.

Thanks in Advance
We don't know for sure. Maybe June - maybe not. I would recommend you move over to the Citizenship section of this forum where this topic is being discussed.
