Notamment, on demandera désormais quatre années de résidence physique sur six, et non trois sur quatre, comme c'est le cas actuellement. Il ne sera plus possible de compter la durée de résidence temporaire au Canada en jours.
The new criteria include: four years of physical residence out of six, not three out of four, as it is currently; the elimination of the ability to count days in Canada as a temporary resident; the requirement of 183 days of residence in a calendar year, in addition to the four years of physical residence; filing proof of tax returns; and having an intent to reside in Canada.
