Which types of residence count fully, partially or not at all where the official rules specify this?
The law excludes specified periods from counting toward permanent residence, including temporary protection, international protection, listed diplomatic statuses, some humanitarian grounds, imprisonment, medical treatment/rehabilitation, certain work-without-permit grounds, volunteer work, and some family reunification with a foreign sponsor. Time spent on higher-education residence counts at half value; an application cannot be based on an active education residence permit.
