You qualify if you lived on a permanent basis in a prescribed northern zone for a continous period of at least six consecutive months. This means that you must live there on a permanent basis, but it does not mean you must be physically present in the zone for the full period. Short absences does not affect your eligibility. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) considers the length of the absences as well as the reasons for them when determining your eligibility.
