Canadian Citizen ‘parent’ definition for residency requirement
Time spent outside Canada with a parent who is a Canadian Citizen counts towards the 730 day residency requirement for dependent children.
Does anyone know if this includes step parents?
In our case, my Canadian partner sponsored me and my kids (his step kids) under Family Class. We all have PR.
We spent several months in UK after getting PR, before moving to Canada.
My daughter is currently some 4 weeks short of meeting her residency requirement, but would have enough days if those months when our family we together in UK after our soft landing were included towards her total.
Thanks

How old was your daughter at the time?
