Officially, what I read on the FP page is that the people sharing the FP do not need to reside in the same province but need to be Canadian residents.
How do you get around that if your wife lives in Germany?
It seems to be a trade-off between the lower AQD requirement for non-resident of Canada and the eligibility to use a FP.
(I have had no problem using FP credits since changing my residence to non-Canada, but bought the FP back in 2015, and when it runs out of credits, I worry about purchasing my next FP.)
Would like to know how this works for you the past couple years.
