More Transparent & Flexible Residency Obligation
************************************************
Residency requirement calculated over five-year period instead of one. The current Act deems people out of Canada for more than 183 days in any 12-month period to have abandoned Canada as their place of permanent residence unless they can establish they did not intend to abandon Canada. Section 28 of Bill C-11 requires permanent residents to be present in Canada for at least 730 days in every five-year period. Permanent residents will be able to count, as part of the required 730 days, time spent abroad in certain circumstances such as working for a Canadian company or the Canadian or a provincial government or accompanying their Canadian spouse, common-law partner or, in the case of a child, parents. This allows permanent residents a greater degree of flexibility over their personal or business affairs that is necessary in a world where routine international travel, work periods abroad and multinational business ties are becoming commonplace.
Objective test and humanitarian and compassionate considerations.
*****************************************************************
Under the current Act, the assessment of a person\'s right to retain permanent residence when they wish to return to Canada following a prolonged absence is based on the evaluation of their intent to abandon Canada as a place of residence. Intent to abandon is a vague and subjective test. Under Bill C-11, permanent residents will benefit from a more transparent and objective approach and from an examination of humanitarian and compassionate considerations that might justify retention of status. Additionally, the best interest of a child who would be affected by a loss of status determination must be taken into account. This is in keeping with the importance that Canada places on the well being of children
