I still need to stay in Canada for one year and a half before applying. If I work for a Canadian company abroad, will the days count as if I'm in Canada or does this apply only to government jobs abroad?
From IRCC website: Time you’ve lived in Canada (physical presence)
You (and some minors, if applicable) must have been physically in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) during the 5 years before the date you sign your application.
We encourage you to apply with more than 1,095 days of living in Canada in case there’s a problem with the calculation.
In your calculation, you may be able to include some of the time you spent
outside Canada if you were a Crown servant or a family member of a Crown servant.
Further definition of Crown Servant:
Person employed in or with the Canadian Armed Forces, the federal public administration or the public service of a province or territory.
Crown servants don’t include locally engaged employees (foreign citizens hired in their own countries by the Canadian government to support Canadian offices abroad).
