Canadian Citizenship Application & Time Count As A Refugee

[Rajpal (Admin)]

Half the time can be counted from the day your father was accepted as a Convention refugee after the hearing at Refugee Protection Division (RPD) of Immigration & Refugee Board (IRB), not from the day he claimed a refugee status in Canada, until he got permanent residence status. Further, maximum 365 days may be added upon applying for Canadian citizenship. An applicant needs to prove 3 years (1095 days) physical residence in Canada out of past 5 years (1860 days).
