Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well and safe from this pandemic. Im a newbie and I would like to ask anyone if you have the same status/concern as mine.
So here's my story, I was sponsored by my dad to become a permanent resident here in Canada with my mom,
A.) I became landed PR May 10, 2016, (I was 20 years old at that time fresh college graduate from my country as an art student)
B.) I left Canada August 30, 2016, (I went back to my country to pursue my dream job since my bachelor degree is not yet valid in Canada, my parents was also not in good terms even before we came and my two sisters where left back in our country, so its just me my mom and my dad who's here in Canada, imagine the stress and pressure i felt being torn between parents who's not in good terms, thats one of the reason i just decided to return back home)
C.) Before we left Canada (last August 30,2016) we received a letter from CPC (not sure where) that our photo for PR card got refuse due to sizing issue and needed to be resend. We resend it just before we left, my dad is the one who received our PR card and just gave it to us when he went back to our country to visit.
D.) When i received my PR card, it states there that it will be expiring on Feb 01, 2022
E.) Me not knowing how being a Canadian resident works, stayed in my country from August 30, 2016 - December 25, 2019. It is 1213 days from the start date to the end date, end date included. Or 3 years, 3 months, 26 days including the end date. (it was hard for me to comeback since we don't have enough funds, and my dad won't support us anymore)
F.) I'm currently here in Canada, with the help of my husband, I manage to re-enter without any questions upon arriving.
so my question is...
> where to count the 5 years permanent residency obligation? (some said it was from the expiry then count backwards, some said upon being a landed PR *im confuse)
> If i were to count it from the expiry of my card i still have the 2 years and will still meet the 730 days to maintain my PR status.
> But if i were to count it from the day i became PR, then i overstayed outside Canada for 3 months, 26 days.
> if so, what consequences do i have to face when renewing my PR?
> I also recently got married and submitted a spousal sponsorship for my husband, would my PR status affect this application?
Hope i can get some answers. Thanks and be safe always!
