Hello,
I was on student visa from Sept 2003 – June 2006. Got my PR in June 2006, and I was on PR status in Canada between July 2006 – August 2007. Starting September 2007, I had to move to the US for job reasons, and have been living in the US since then. The question I have is – do I qualify to apply for my PR renewal based on my stay in Canada.
Appreciate your input.
Thanks!

Do the simple Math; if you physically stayed or will stay in Canada at least 2 years out of the 5 years begining from the day of your landing then you should be fine.

Hi DC_RC,
Thanks for your input.
Though I stayed just 1 year (aprox.) after landing, I am not sure of how my stay in Canada on student visa (3yrs.) would be factored in calculating for the renewal requirement.
Thanks again!

The time you spent in Canada before getting PR would have added one year if you remained, after getting the PR, toward obtaining the citizenship; as it is now, that time equals ZERO toward PR renewal. I suggest you file for green card and forget about Canada. Not much is happening here anyways. Good luck.
