Canadian Citizenship while in US

In order to obtain canadian citizenship one must have physical presence of 3 years as PR in Canada. There are few exceptions to this rule. One is to be employed aborad by a Canadian business.

My question is if someone (canadian PR) opens a consulting firm in Canada and then become employed by a foreign employer as a full time employee/consultant through his company, will he be able to count his time aborad as physical presence in Canada to fulfill citizenship requirement?

Thanks.
 
mercury6:

as per the attorney I consulted, it is possible to go for CP if you had been in AOS for at least 180 days using your current LC & I-140 (just as you'd do if you're in AOS using AC21).

I hope this would give you some hope.

Any comments on my thought??
 
AOS -> CP in canada?

Hi Mercury,

My I 140 was approved and i had indicated AOS processing in that. Now if i want to change from AOS to CP in canada, is that possible. I am a canadian landed immigrant. Can I do CP in canada or have to do that in home country?

I have heard that you need to file I 824 in order to go from AOS to CP. Any consulates in canada do AC 140 processing and how long would that route take.

Thanks,
Furat
