27. Is the 183 rule 183 days in a year, or is it 183 days in any consequitive 12 months? (Canada immigration)

The 183 days are calculated on the basis of 12 month periods, so, for
instance, being about of the country for 180 days as of December 1997, you
have 3 days left, not a brand new 183 days on January 1, 1998. If you have
to stay out of the country for more than 183 days in any given 12 month
period, you might consider applying for a Returning Resident Permit.
