I am a Canadian citizen who, from August 21, 2006 until August 15, 2008, has been living in the UK on an Ancestry Visa. (I am now back in Canada.) I will be moving back with my partner (he is British) in the next few months. I want to apply for citizenship when my five years is up but I have already been out of the country for 4 months.
My question is : How long am I allowed to be out of the UK before I have to wait another five years to apply for citizenship? (someone has told me that I am allowed out of the country for 180 days max. before it effects the time I have already been there for, is this true?)
Thanks for any help!
