Time Spent Temporary Status Canada/Citizenship Application

[Inderpreet]

I was counting my time to apply for Canadian citizenship. Initially, I came to Canada on a study permit. My cousin told me that I am eligible to get half time for my temporary status in Canada. Is it right?

Yes, you may add half the time you were on a study permit status or any other legal status, but maximum to 365 days at the time applying for Canadian citizenship. Remember, you will be counting 3 years time out of past 5 years, not if you were on a study permit e.g. six to 8 years ago.
