Hi All,
Background:
I am a landed immigrant. I landed in Canada in May 2008 and went back to my country. I came back in July 2010. I worked in Canada earlier, om work permit, from July 2005 till Oct 2007. I applied for my PR in Nov 2006.
Question:
I heard that half of the time(days) spent (in 2 yrs) before landing can be considered in calculating the 730 days which i have to spend to be eligible to file a PR extension. Can you please confirm if this is correct. If so, can you please provide me a link to the reference of this rule.
Thanks for your time and help.

The "half of time" rule refers to when you apply for citizenship as adult.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. But that calculation is useful when applying for citizenship. I wish to know if there is some calculation rule for calculating eligibility for filing the PR extension also.
thanks for your time.
regards

you are missing a few things up here.
Citizenship is not Permanent residency. There are different qualifications. To retain your PR status, you must reside in Canada 730 day in the last 5 years.
You apply for a new PR card every 5 years and your ability to do so will depend on the 730 days of residency. There is no such thing as an extension. You either qualify or you don´t.

Hi Sharon,
Thanks for your time and answer..I understand that both are different. I would take some time of yours to explain my situation. I told that i landed in 2008 may and went back to my country. I came back only in July 2010. Since i have only less than 3 years left, i would want to make sure i will be able to file for a new PR. If i didnot go back this situation would not have arisen, but, i just want to doubly make sure that i am eligible to file for new PR. Hence the question.
thanks

730 days from May 2008 to April 2013. Make sure you can prove you have intentions for Canada to be your home.
