Citizenship - Physical Presence in Canada 3 years in 5 years?

[honey_ca]

Hello everyone,

Clarification for the new physical requirement for Citizenship does an applicant needs to be in Canada within 5 years even though the applicant already stayed in Canada for more than 3 years as a Permanent Resident?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

It says at least 1,095 days in the last 5 years before you apply. So, if you have been physically present in Canada for at least 3 years as a Permanent Resident for the past 5 years then you are eligible assuming you meet the rest of the requirements. I do not understand where the confusion is.

I don't see any problem. Use the online calculator; it will tell you if your eligible or not

Thank you for replying, I got confused because the applicant is more than 3 years as a Permanent Resident but NOT stay for last 5 years in Canada and the online calculator says, eligible to apply...
