Hello,
I would like to know if the absence from the country to work in a NGO as a volunteer cooperant counts for the residence period of 730 days.
Tks,

Tks,
1. No it doesn't.
Time spent outside Canada may also count towards the two years if you are:
- travelling with your spouse or partner who is a Canadian citizen,
- a childFootnote 1 travelling with his or her father or mother who is a Canadian citizen,
- an employee of (or under contract to) a Canadian business.
It may also count if you are:
- travelling with your spouse or partner who is a permanent resident and works full-time for:
- a Canadian business, or
- the public service of Canada or a province,
- a child travelling with his or her father or mother who is a permanent resident and who works full-time for:
- a Canadian business, or
- the public service of Canada or a province.
- an employee of (or under contract to) the public service of Canada or a province and you are on a full-time assignment to:
- a position outside Canada,
- a partner business outside Canada, or
- a client of the Canadian business or the public service outside Canada.
