The residence calculator calculates up to three (3) different kinds of residence. What is the difference?
Basic residence in Canada is the minimum time required to be eligible for a grant of citizenship (1,095 days). The calculation of basic residence does not include absences from Canada. However, any time spent serving a sentence in Canada must be deducted from the calculation of basic residence. If you apply with fewer than three (3) years (1,095 days) of basic residence, your application will be returned to you by the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia (CPC Sydney). Basic residence taking into account time spent serving a sentence (or basic residence less time served) is calculated by subtracting time spent serving a sentence in Canada (i.e. time spent in a prison, penitentiary, jail, reformatory, under a conditional sentence, on probation, and/or parole) from basic residence. Section 21 of the Citizenship Act states that any time spent imprisoned, on probation or on parole cannot be counted as a period of residence for the purpose of acquiring citizenship (please see Questi
