No, Canada does not require you to show specific attendance, such as proof of being present for two years, to become eligible for Permanent Residency (PR). PR eligibility is based on factors like work experience, education, and language proficiency - not attendance records.

However, to keep your PR status once granted, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (about two years) within every five-year period. This is known as the residency obligation and is subject to change.

If you need guidance on your PR pathway or have questions about your application, your Leap counsellor can help.
