In the address history, you must mention where you were residing for each period. If you were outside of Canada for more than a year, you must specify where you lived during that time, and you cannot mention your Alberta address that you maintained for "documentation purposes". Even if your...

You definitely need to leave this section blank - this only applies if you are applying under H&C, but I remember it gets asked to everyone. Try leaving it blank and see if that works.

You need to host the image elsewhere (e.g. Google Drive) and then post a link here.

It looks like you are confusing urgent processing for PR card issue with an application under H&C. Read the instructions carefully and make sure you have not selected something that doesn't apply to your situation.

In addition to the information in @Ponga 's previous post, here are some additional considerations: Make sure you get to Canada before the expiry of your PR card so you can apply for provincial healthcare, drivers license, and most importantly, a SIN (if you haven't got it already). While a...

You must be in Canada when you submit the PR card application. Applications while being abroad are not accepted. You also must meet the residency obligation when you apply to renew your PR card, and moving to the US will (potentially / likely) put that at risk. There is an exemption if you...

Highly unlikely this will count, even if you were paid. Usually you must have worked for the same Canadian organisation in Canada, and then been sent abroad for this assignment temporarily. This does not appear to be the case for you. You should not rely on credit towards the RO from this gig...

Pretty risky to be travelling back and forth between Seattle and Vancouver without a valid PR card and while not being in compliance with the RO. Every time you enter, you are at risk of being reported for not meeting the RO, which could lead to loss of PR status. If you can, stay in Canada...

It doesn't need to cover the full two years. You just need two pieces of evidence, which can be from a point of time in the last five years. This is for PR renewal. Unsure of requirements for citizenship.

The rule is pretty simple: on the date you apply, you must have been present in Canada for 730 days or more in the five years prior. 640 is not enough. So you need to calculate when you will have accumulated 730 days in Canada, remembering not to count any days outside the 5 year window. For...

Also, she must be in the country to apply for a PR card. It appears she is currently abroad, so applying for a PR card is currently not an option. Her options are: - Apply for a PRTD - Travel to the US and cross a land border (will require US visa or visa-exempt passport) Applying for a PRTD...

How many days has she spent in Canada in the last 5 years? Exemptions are usually not granted for personal choices such as study abroad.

Would definitely recommend you wait until 730 days are completed, unless you have an urgent need to travel. If you have 490 days now, you are missing 240 days. 240 days from now is Nov 29th, 2024. So you are not far off from when your PR card expires, even if you only get to Canada in 2 weeks...

Are you in Canada at the moment? The best approach would be to wait until you have 730 days in Canada in the 5 years prior to applying for PR card renewal. You can remain in Canada without a valid PR card. It's only really needed if you need to travel.

Yes, you got it now. And 100% - you should return before you are in breach. Not only to be able to sponsor your spouse, but also to be sure you will be able to keep PR yourself. Remember, returning to Canada when already in breach can lead to loss of your PR status when reported at the border.

Answer is it depends, but yes, in the scenarios you have shared, the upshot is that these earlier days in the country do not help you. Here’s a simplified rule for you. If you have been outside of Canada for 3 years or more in one continuous period (which is the case for the scenarios above)...

No, you would meet the residency obligation exactly is this scenario. But this is because you return to Canada just before you are in breach in this scenario. What is still true though is that you could not leave Canada for 730 days without being immediately in breach of the residency...

Please read this again and let me know what part you don't understand:

If you come back 90 days before your 5-year landing anniversary, then you'll have to stay 2 years / 730 days from that day, or 640 days from the 5-year anniversary of your landing date.

In your scenario, you would already be in breach of the residency obligation when you return and you could be reported and the process of revoking your PR could be started. If you are lucky and you are being let in to the country without being reported, you would have to stay a full 2 years to...
