Currently I am in the USA , on an H1B visa. My employer has just filed for my Green Card, but given the present situation, I am not confident for how long I will have this job.
I want to apply for Canadian PR, as a Skilled Worker.
Q) Once i get Canadian PR, for ho long cani stay in the USA on an H1B??
The Canadian application form gives the following confusing imformation :-
"""Permanent resident status
If your application is successful, you and your family members will receive status as permanent residents
of Canada. Some conditions will apply:
• You will remain a permanent resident until you become a Canadian citizen, as long as you spend
at least two years of each five year period in Canada
• You may leave and re-enter Canada as often as you wish
• If you spend more than two years of a five-year period outside Canada, you may lose your per-manent
resident status (certain conditions apply)"""""
so , does it mean that i can stay out of Canada for 2 years or 3 years ( since at that point I will not be sure whether I will get my US green Card or not)
