Work abroad after canadian PR

canindia

New Member
I am a canada PR holder. I understand that if i am working for a canadian company abroad I can maintain the PR status."You can also count Canadian residency days if you are outside Canada for an extended period of time for one of the following reasons"You are employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business, the Public Service of Canada or the public service of a Canadian province."----- www.cic.gc.ca

Now my question is is this valid for india. I am employed by a canadian company but work in india???

Does this three years count towards my application for Citizenship

what are the taxes.... assuming that i get paid in indian rupees.


anybody have information please reply.
 
If the company you are working for in India qualifies as a "Canadian Business" as described below then you have nothing to worry about as you have maintained your permanent resident status of Canada.

The time spent working for a Canadian company in india will NOT count towards your application for Citizenship. You must live in Canada for 3 years before you can apply for Canadian citizenship.

What is a Canadian Business?
Canadian Business
Only some businesses qualify as a Canadian business for the purpose of satisfying your residency obligations. To qualify as a Canadian business, the business must fulfil one of these three definitions:

The business is incorporated under Canadian or provincial laws and has an ongoing operation in Canada.
The business is an enterprise, other than a corporation described above, that has an ongoing operation in Canada and satisfies the following conditions:
It is capable of generating revenue and is carried on in anticipation of profit; and
Canadian citizens, permanent residents or Canadian businesses as defined above hold a majority of voting or ownership interests.
The business is an organization or enterprise created by the laws of Canada or by the laws of a province of Canada.
Excluded businesses:

An enterprise, corporation or organization is not a Canadian business if it exists primarily to allow permanent residents to comply with their residency obligations during a stay outside Canada.

Qualifying Employment outside Canada
The term “employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or in the public service of Canada” means:

you are an employee of, or under contract to provide services to, either a Canadian business, the public service of Canada or the public service of a Canadian province; and
you are assigned as a term of your employment or contract on a full-time basis to either:
a position outside Canada;
an affiliated enterprise outside Canada; or
a client of the Canadian business or the public service outside Canada.
