15. List all of your absences from Canada during the past five years or if you became a permanent resident less than five years ago, your absences since becoming a permanent resident. Absences include vacations. You must account for each month. Note that if, with respect to a five-year period, you were not, for a total of 730 days;
physically present in Canada;
outside Canada accompanying a Canadian citizen who is your spouse or common-law partner or, in the case of a child, their parent;
outside Canada employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or in the public service of Canada or of a province; or
outside Canada accompanying a permanent resident who is your spouse or common-law partner or, in the case of a child, their parent and who is employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or in the public service of Canada or of a province,
you may not have upheld the residency obligations required of Canadian permanent residents and may consequently lose permanent resident status.
Complete one or more of options 1 to 4 of this question only if you were not in Canada for at least 730 days in the past five year period but you were otherwise satisfying the residency obligations.
For options 2 and 3, a Canadian business is defined as
a corporation that is incorporated under the laws of Canada or of a province and that has an ongoing operation in Canada; or
an enterprise that has an ongoing operation in Canada and
that is capable of generating revenue and is carried out in anticipation of profit, and
in which a majority of voting or ownership interests is held by Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or Canadian businesses as defined above; or
an organization or enterprise created by the laws of Canada or a province.
Acceptable proof of employment consists of a letter of declaration signed by an official of the Canadian business that indicates:
the position and title of the signing official;
the nature of the business and how it fits the above description of a Canadian business;
details of your assignment or contract outside Canada;
confirmation that the business has not been created primarily for the purpose of allowing you to satisfy your residency obligation; and
other documentary evidence, as applicable, to establish that your employment abroad was on a full-time basis (for example: T4 statements, Canadian Income Tax Notices of Assessment, pay stubs etc.).
Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds
If you are unable to meet the residency obligation, we will consider any compelling humanitarian and compassionate factors in your individual circumstances that may justify the retention of permanent resident status and overcome any breach of the residency obligation. We will notify you if this additional assessment is required.
