What is the impact of long-term residence on a person's ability to establish a principal residence?

Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Foote Estate (Re), 2009 ABQB 654 (CanLII):

Likely relevant, but probably less determinative, are non‑tangible associations, such as social and professional ties and associations with a jurisdiction. In Winans v. A.G. the absence of social integration was a key reason why the court concluded a person’s length residence had not created a new principal residence.
