Dear Mr. J.Humphries or J. Metcalf

I am landed immigrant.There is time to apply for citizenship but I use to
work for small Canadian company outside of Canada for 11 month. I applied
for permanent resident permit and resived it in August 2002. My question is:
those 11 month count in 1075 days or not. Could I apply for citizenship or I
need to wait for 11month.

Thank you in advance.

Andrew Miller

No, those days abroad won't count towards residency requirements for
citizenship eligibility.

You may be able to comply depending on the terms and conditions of
your employment and if you maintained a pied a terre in Canada. For
example did you return to canada during your sojurn overseas. Where
did you stay when you were in Canada. Where were you, back in your
home country etc.. There are many possibilities but it will be up to a
Citizenship Judge to determine if you complied with the concept of
residency. Physical presence is not a absolute requirement. A good
presentation of the facts in this case are essential.
