vaild time lived in Canada before applying Canada citizenship?

Posted March 21st, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

i’m an intl student in the States and plan to apply Canada immigration. according to CIC website, 3 years residing in Canada is a must before applying citizenship.

i was told that when counting the vaild time lived in Canada, the time i lived in the States also counts, but timed by 0.5. i have been to CIC website but didn’t find info about it. Can anyone help me to verify this info?

Great thanks.
