How long will you live in Canada every year after you get a Canadian green card?

Not how long you live every year, but during the five-year validity period of the Maple Leaf Card, you have fulfilled your residence obligations for more than 730 days.

Whether you apply for a maple leaf card for the first time or for a second time after the expiration of five years, you must pass the "residence test". Anyone who holds permanent residence status in Canada must fulfill the obligation of residence for more than 730 days in any five-year period. Except that the actual cumulative residence days in Canada during the five-year period exceed 730 days, those who meet the following conditions are deemed to have fulfilled their residence obligations:

1, staying outside Canada with family members with Canadian citizenship;

2. Full-time employees of Canadian enterprises stationed overseas or full-time Canadian official civil servants stationed overseas;

3. A family member with permanent residency is sent overseas as a full-time employee by a Canadian enterprise, or sent overseas as an official Canadian official. In this case, he stays overseas with his family members;

I have a re-entry permit.

The above-mentioned so-called Canadian enterprises must be companies established according to Canadian laws, and continue to operate in Canada, with commercial profitability, and most of the shares are held by Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Enterprises established to fulfill the obligation of residence are not recognized as Canadian enterprises; The so-called full-time employees refer to the contracted positions of affiliated enterprises outside Canada or overseas customers of Canadian enterprises or public institutions.

Extended data

Those who obtain permanent resident status in Canada must apply for a residence card (also known as Maple Leaf Card, valid for 5 years). If you have lived in Canada for more than 3 years in the 5 years before applying for naturalization, you can apply for naturalization, but you must pass the naturalization test.

Canada recognizes dual citizenship and allows Canadian citizens who have acquired foreign citizenship to retain their Canadian citizenship. Joining a foreign nationality does not mean losing Canadian nationality. If a citizen wants to give up his nationality, he must apply to the Immigration Bureau, and after obtaining approval, he will give up his nationality.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada's naturalization application approval center can issue a certificate of nationality record search for the applicant. If you need to apply for a non-naturalization certificate, please contact the telephone service center of Citizenship and Immigration Canada and ask it to send the relevant application form.
