To maintain you Canadian PR, I believe you must stay in Canada a minimum of 6 months during a year. I heard a rumor that the rule has now changed. The rumor is that in a 5 year given period you must stay in Canada for atleast 2 years. Is this true ? Does any one have a confirmed news about this ?

Hi rana1982,
             This was told to me by a friend. This rumour is obviously not in any website. I tried to find this, but could not find any website related to this news. I too wish this news is true.

You can go through www.cic.gc.ca, the Canadian immigration site for government. They posted a news (Nee Release, Feb 21)mentioning that it\'s already approved and become an Act.

Good Luck Everybody.

folks, the site which was mentioned by kapoor2 also indicates that you one must be physically residing. At present one can go by under the current rule by "virtually residing". I thought highlight that aspect of the proposal.

David, proving a fact in the legal system is all about the evidence. So, if one can prove by evidence that person was residing in the country by factual info, such as, payment of taxes, having a property where one resides, having financial activities,etc. These will considered that on one was intact a resident and that this point will be acceptable in the court of law. In my view one can go by these and still be virtually in the country while in fact I/he is not. However, moving on to the ammedment in the law question at hand. This may require other facts, which will go beyond the above. I don\'t what they will be. Perhaps, the only thing I could think of strict border control measures that make sure one would get entry and exit stamp whenever I/he crosses the border.

Ike, thank you very much for your answer. I am working in US with H1 visa, and will have a interview with Canadian Immigration office in few months. That is why I asked you the question. It looks not very easy to virtually reside in Canada for me.
