The clock on your residency days stops the moment the system flags you. Days stop counting after an officer writes a report saying you broke the residency obligation, or after a decision made outside Canada reaches the same conclusion. If you are later found to have complied after all, the freeze lifts and your days count normally again.
(1)Subject to subsection (2), the calculation of days under paragraph 28(2)(a) of the Act in respect of a permanent resident does not include any day after (a)a report is prepared under subsection 44(1) of the Act on the ground that the permanent resident has failed to comply with the residency obligation; or (b)a decision is made outside of Canada that the permanent resident has failed to comply with the residency obligation.
