Nope. The definition of residence does not state anything about it being granted:

res·i·dence noun \ˈre-zə-dən(t)s, ˈrez-dən(t)s, ˈre-zə-ˌden(t)s\
a : the act or fact of dwelling in a place for some time b : the act or fact of living or regularly staying at or in some place for the discharge of a duty or the enjoyment of a benefit

Hope you enjoyed the English lesson.
