Take the Final Step Toward Becoming a Proud Canadian
As a Permanent Resident (PR) of Canada, you must live in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) within every 5-year period to maintain your PR status. Time spent abroad may count toward this requirement if you are accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse or are employed full-time by a Canadian company.
Traveling with a PR Card
Your Permanent Resident Card (PR Card) is required when traveling to Canada by commercial carrier (airplane, train, bus, or boat).
If you enter by private car or on foot, you can still be admitted without a valid PR Card, as long as your PR status is valid.
Canadian Citizenship Requirements
To apply for Canadian citizenship, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) within the past 5 years before applying.
Please note: Tibme spent abroad with a Canadian citizen spouse or while employed by a Canadian company does not count toward the physical presence requirement.
