[lesh]

hi there, any one could advise me on what to do with my holiday records due to apply for citizenship.
so, shoud be maximo 460 days in 5 years and 90 days for the year you are applying.
in my case I ve got around 9 years and just 300 days absence but 120 days in this year. should I still apply or wait one more year???tks

You seem to be confusing the absence rules for Permanent Residence and for citizenship.

For permanent residence, you can have up to 180 days absence in any year (during the 5 year qualifying period). So you are ok to apply now.

For citizenship, you generally should have less than 450 days total in the last 5 years, and less than 90 in the last year (with some exceptions). So if you plan to apply for citizenship after getting your PR, it's best to wait with the citizenship application until your absences in the last year have dropped below 90 (or 100, which is generally OK too). But apply for permanent residence now!
