Study Notes
Permanent Resident Residency Requirements (IRPA Section 28)
- Permanent residents (PRs) must meet residency requirements to maintain their status.
- This involves being physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) within a 5-year period.
- Failure to meet this obligation can lead to loss of PR status and potential removal from Canada.
Calculating the Five-Year Period
- The 5-year period is calculated cumulatively.
- If a PR has been in Canada for at least 730 days within the last 5 years of a review, they meet the requirement.
- If a PR hasn't met the 730-day requirement within the 5-year period, they must show they will meet the requirement by their 5-year anniversary as a PR.
- Assessments occur when applying for a PR Travel Document (PRTD) outside Canada, re-entering Canada, or renewing a PR card.
- If a PR is outside Canada and doesn't meet the 730-day requirement at assessment, they may lose their PR status, barring compelling humanitarian and compassionate considerations.
