One-time departure time of Canadian immigrants

At present, there is no limit of no more than half a year. Maple leaf card is valid for five years, and the entry and exit time is unlimited. Just check whether you have lived in Canada for two years within five years from the date of your application for renewal. If it is less than two years, the Maple Leaf Card cannot be renewed.

Similarly, from the date of applying for naturalization, if you go back to four years and have not lived for three years, you must meet the conditions if you have lived for three consecutive years. Because it is stipulated that you must be a permanent resident (with a maple leaf card) for at least two years before you can apply for citizenship, if the date of your application happens to be two years after you have a maple leaf card (and you have lived in Canada for two years), then you have lived in Canada for 65,438+0 years in the two years before you have a maple leaf card (equivalent to 65,438+in the six years before you became a permanent resident), which meets the requirements.

If you have a maple leaf card and only lived for one year in two years, you can still meet the conditions of living for four years and three years, and you can apply for naturalization.

The following paragraph is a description on the website of Immigration Canada. You can read it.

This application is applicable to permanent residents aged 18 or above who wish to apply for Canadian citizenship. They must have lived in Canada for at least three of the four years before applying, be able to communicate in English and/or French, and show some knowledge of Canada and the rights and responsibilities of citizens. People who have a criminal record, face criminal charges or are subject to immigration enforcement actions may not be eligible for citizenship.

Note: You can't meet the residence requirements of citizenship without permanent resident status for at least 2 years.
