| he wants to get the right of abode. for this you need to live here(your primary residence) for 7 consecutive years(only exception as far as i know is for educational purposes). once you have ROA, then you need to return here once every 3 years to maintain it.
however, the only difference between the RTL and ROA is that you can be deported with RTL and you cannot with ROA. other than that, as far as i can tell, there is not much of a difference.
i'm sure someone more knowledgable will correct me if i'm wrong. |
