Hi Experts,

It has been a month since I got my Canadian PR and I am now employed by a Canadian Company's wholly owned subsidiary in the United States. I know that the Canadian PR regulation loosely states that if you work for a Canadian company outside of Canada that you can count that time towards your PR residency requirements and Citizenship requirement.

However I was unable to find any more specifics on this rule. Does any one have details or more information to share? Am I misinterpreting this rule by any chance?

PS: My monthly pay checks now come from Montreal

Thanks!

You would have to be working directly for the Canadian company and not through its subsidiary in order to keep your residence status in Canada.

1. PR status - you must be employed by company in Canada and assigned to work abroad in order to have those days counted towards residency obligations.

2. Days abroad can be counted towards citizenship only if you are abroad working for Canadian government or Canadian armed forces.

Thanks very much for the clarification Jim and Andrew!
