Hi not sure if it applicable at all. As far as I remember, the passport and travel documents youve had at the time you became a Permanent resident. So if you arrived in canada in 2013,



item # 10.a) Where have you lived during your eligibility period? Please list all addresses inside and ourside of Canada. Your addresses must cover the entire eligibility period. If there are gaps or missing periods your application will be returned to you.

b) In the past four years, were you in another country (other than Canada) for a total of 183 days or more?
If yes, list each country in the chart below. You must provide a police certificate for each country where you have been present for 183 days or more. If you cannot get a police certificate, tell us why below.


In my own interpretation of the details being asked, the 183 days is actually not made up, because if you have "permanently resided" for over 183 days outside Canada, then that is actually considered as being really "Out" of Canada. The same number of days, as a Canadian, I would lose my OHIP, should I be out of the country for more than that number of days.

My parents travel a lot, BUT this does not mean that they have changed residence.

I totally agree with using your own judgement, as to how you would define "Residence" in contrast to just Travelling.

There is no six month rule.

183 days is a rule relating to police certificates

Reporting which countries you have visited is a rule - even crossing the border on the same day - is required.

Yes. If in the past 4 years you were in another country, even if before becoming a PR, you need to submit a PCC. IRCC confirmed this on Twitter.

Hi,
I called today CIC to find out whether the year in which applicants wait for their immigration process outside Canada is considered as part of the 183 days (which requires one to get a PCC0..the agent told me NO. They take into consideration the absence of 183+ days AFTER becoming a permanent resident in Canada. I asked why isn't this clearly mentioned on the form to avoid confusion??? He said it's still a new form and they are receiving a lot of complaints regarding this matter. Is there a link to their confirmation on Twitter as you mentioned above? Thanks

Great question to CIC. They should clearly specify this in the application form as it causes a lot of confusion and unnecessary action.

hey all,

I was wondering any guys on here who sent their application package with Xpresspost (canadapost) and it was delivered but was not signed for ...

App sent :14 Nov 2017
App delivered: 17 Nov 2017 not signed

you had to put a signature request when sending your documents. I think Canada Post charges an extra dollar for that.

i did that , and was tracking it online . but it just stated delivered , but no signatory name. i'm basically thinking i might send another application if they lost that one

i would first give a call to canada post and see what happened, if you did request the signature.
