Liability? in what sense. Can you please elaborate.

I request members to guide me. based on my given situation.



You will need a VISA to go to India. Plus taxation issues both in India and Canada.

Unless you are going to use the Cad Passport to travel the world, Cad citizenship is pretty useless. More of a hassle and burden.

India doesn't allow dual citizenship. You will lose your Indian citizenship and Indian passport.



What kind of taxation issue is dependent on change of citizenship?

The Canadian Government just PASSED the law on the NEW Citizenship Requirements. It is still in the Parliament houses and will be passed before the Summer closure. So, please wait for a few more days for it to finalize.

They will also change the NEW Calculator, on their website, at that time.

You now only NEED THREE Years to qualify. The details are there to read in my previous post on "IMMIGRATION".

Also, go through these archived materials for you to read and question me here and I will provide you here under, detailed materials available to me.

To Know About Maintaining Permanent Resident Status

Once you become a Permanent Resident, you are authorized to live and work in Canada for the rest of your life. It is pretty tough to lose this status once you’ve acquired it. In fact, there are only two ways that you can lose Permanent Resident Status: (1) If you commit a serious crime; and (2) if you fail to maintain physical residence.

Although it is unusual for Permanent Residents to lose status, all should be aware that certain acts could result in deportation. The only way to ensure that you can remain in Canada permanently, without condition, is to become a Canadian Citizen.
Crimes

Commission of a serious crime has become one of the most common reasons for deporting a non-citizen from Canada. What constitutes a crime that is worthy of deportation varies on a case-by-case basis. It is strongly suggested that any non citizen who has been sentenced to time in jail seek the counsel of an immigration attorney. The consequences of committing a crime as a non-citizen are serious, and require prudent legal advice from a qualified representative.
The Residency Obligation

In order to meet the Canadian residency obligation, you must be physically present in Canada for at least half of the last five years. If you haven’t been a Permanent Resident of Canada for five years, then you need to show that you can meet the residence requirement at the five-year mark.

For practical purposes, you only need to show that you meet the physical presence requirement at the time that you apply for a new Permanent Resident Card – but it is something that you should be thinking about each time you take a trip outside of Canada. You need to be careful that you spend at least half of your time living in Canada, or you risk losing your Permanent Resident Status.

If you are someone who spends a lot of time outside Canada, then you should be aware of some exceptions that might help you meet the Residency Requirement. Specifically, time spent outside the country while accompanying a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident, or while working for a Canadian organization, may count as time spent inside Canada, in certain circumstances.

Accompanying a Canadian Citizen Outside of Canada

This limited exception allows you to count days spent outside Canada as fulfilling the residency requirement, but only if you are accompanying your spouse or common-law partner, or if you are a child under 22 years of age and you are accompanying your parent.

Accompanying a Permanent Resident Outside of Canada

This exception is even more limited. It allows you to count days spent outside Canada as fulfilling the residency requirement if you are accompanying your spouse or common law partner, or if you are a child under 22 years of age and you are accompanying your parent, but only if your Permanent Resident relative was employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or in the public service of Canada or of a province during the period you accompanied him or her. In addition, you must be able to show that your Permanent Resident relative meets his or her own residency obligation.

Let’s break this down: You can count days spent outside of Canada in order to meet the residence requirement if you are accompanying your Permanent Resident spouse or parent, but only if your spouse or parent is employed by a Canadian organization during the specified travel, and only if your spouse or parent meets his or her own residency requirement.

In practice, it is hard to see how this exception could be helpful, unless you’ve spent so much time out of the country that every extra day counts.
Employment Outside of Canada

You may count each day you worked outside Canada for a Canadian organization or affiliated organization or in the public service of Canada. You can also count time you spent outside the country as a client of a Canadian business or the Canadian public service.

To qualify, you must show that you worked in a full-time capacity, and you must be able to show an employment relationship or contract.

To apply for citizenship, I understand that :

I must have been physically present in Canada as a permanent resident for at least:

a) 1,460 days during the six years right before the date you sign your application
b) 183 days during each of four calendar years that are fully or partially within the six years right before the date I apply.

I first visited Canada as PR in Oct 2011 for landing purposes only. Later in Aug 2013 I permanently moved to Canada on PR and have been here since then.

I was employed by a Canadian company in 2015 during which I was required to travel outside Canada for official purposes. Thus I was outside Canada for 249 days in 2015.

I have been in Canada for more than 183 days in each year from 2014, except in the year 2015.

Can the 249 days I spent outside Canada in 2015 while on employment with a Canadian company be considered towards the physical presence requirement when applying for citizenship.

If not, when do I become eligible to apply for citizenship.

Thanks in advance.

Canadian citizenship applications decline after processing fees triple

Experts say prohibitive cost is causing some immigrants to delay becoming new Canadians

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canadian-citizenship-applications-decrease-1.3976140

People simply don't care and don't want Canadian citizenship any more. More of a burden and liability than anything else.

The only way Canada can get Immigrants into this Shit hole is by dangling the carrot of Canadian citizenship and Canadian passport, even that scam is over now.

High fees blamed for sharp decrease in Canadian citizenship applications

The steep increase in citizenship application fees under the former Conservative government is a key factor, experts say.
