Q:

ILR - staying outside UK for one straight year

I hold an ILR status in the UK. I intend to stay in Canada for one straight year so i could meet the requirements to retain my Canadian PR as well. Do you think my ILR status in the UK will be revoked?

A:

According to the UKVI, it seems like leaves shorter than 2 years are allowed. The do I net I found does not explain how the time period is calculated. Presumably, leaving for 2 years, returning for a day, and leaving for another two years would not be allowed. It seems like leaving for 1 year might be allowed. That said, it seems weird to be a permanent resident in two countries. You might be better off applying for citizenship someplace.
