What status do you have after living in Canada for 10 years?

Immigration to Canada.

According to the Canadian government’s green card renewal regulations, the only way to retain a Canadian green card is that permanent residents must live in the country for 2 years within 5 years to be eligible for renewal. Living for 2 years within 5 years is not calculated from the time of immigration landing, nor from the time of obtaining the Maple Leaf Card. The algorithm has two forms:

1. From the time when the Maple Leaf Card is extended Count backwards from the day of application, and you will have to live for 2 years within 5 years;

2. Count back 5 years from the time you enter Canada each time. That is to say, as long as it can be proved that by any backward deduction method, as long as the requirement of living for 2 years is met within 5 years, the Canadian green card can be retained. From the above Canadian government regulations, it is obvious that the threshold for maintaining a Canadian green card is lower than the threshold for applying for a Canadian passport (naturalization).
