Guys thanks for the valuable outputs to the members. If i travel along with my wife. It won't be an issue. Currently I am having only 600+ days. Final conclusion is required from the members end.
While perhaps for different reasons, like
@armoured I do not quite understand this post.
Apart from that, my general sense remains consistent with the main point in what
@armoured and I have offered: coming here, and coming to STAY, and doing this
fairly soon, should be OK. Should be, not necessarily will be.
There are some risks. The sooner you come, the lower those risks. The longer you wait to come, the bigger the risks.
But that is NOT the same as assuring you that traveling together means there "
won't be an issue." Traveling together should lower the PR spouse's risks, and if the trip is fairly soon the risks should be quite low (which appears to be contrary to what
@canuck78 says), but that does not mean it is guaranteed it will be OK. Odds are good it will be OK, that there will NOT be an issue. But this is NOT for-sure. And not all of us agree about this.
Moreover, in particular, hopefully you understand that what we say here is not official, not for-sure what will actually happen.
Which brings up the part of your post that most confused me: "
Final conclusion is required from the members end."
Whatever members' final conclusion is being referenced, hopefully you understand this forum has NO real say in how things will go, and what members post here is largely information and opinion subject to all the caveats that apply to open venues on the internet. Including, especially, the caveat that except to the extent information is documented by verifiable official and authoritative sources, what is posted here is not even close to definitive.
Which again brings up the direct conflict, for example, between my observations and those posted by
@canuck78 in regards to prospective risks when arriving at a Port-of-Entry. Moreover, it appears our observations not only differ in regards to risks attendant short trips outside Canada AFTER returning to and getting WELL-SETTLED in Canada, but also in regards to the risk of a formal Residency Obligation examination upon arrival at the PoE even if you make the trip fairly soon.
For purposes of deciding what YOU do, and WHEN, your decision-making is personal to you, FOR YOU to DECIDE, your call, based on all the information you have considered. All we can do here, all the "
members" of this forum can offer, is our best understanding of how the system works, and as evident here, sometimes we have different views about some of these things.
In regards to your report about "
having only 600+ days," versus YOUR status (as a PR or citizen) . . . my observations before and those that follow are based on
YOU being a Canadian citizen and your PR spouse being the one who has "
only 600+ days" . . . which I interpret to be about the number of days left on the calendar she has to meet her RO obligation for the first five years.
Which if that is the scenario:
-- if she has so far only been IN Canada 15 days, and
-- there are approximately 600 days left in her first five years, and
-- if ONLY days actually in Canada are counted
-- THEN she is NOW short, NOW in BREACH
In which event if she arrives at a Port-of-Entry next week, say, and she is examined at that time in regards to complying with the RO, and in that examination she is only given credit for days actually IN Canada so far, no credit for days living with a Canadian citizen spouse, she could be Reported and issued a Departure Order, a decision that terminates her PR status UNLESS it is successfully appealed.
I doubt that is how it will go . . . noting, again, the SOONER you get here, the better the odds it will go OK.
That is again, if you are traveling together, finally making the move to come here to settle, and this happens fairly soon, the odds of that kind of examination are quite likely very low. Rather, the odds most likely lean heavily toward being waived through with no referral to an Immigration Secondary screening, but even if that happens, and you are together, the odds are that even then there will not be a problem(noting, though, both of you may have to answer some questions). In contrast, again,
@canuck78 appears to be asserting otherwise. And that is based on relatively the same reason for disagreeing with my other, previous observation that AFTER coming to Canada and being WELL-SETTLED here, short trips abroad should also be OK.
This disagreement is specifically about whether or not your spouse (assuming YOU are a Canadian citizen and the two of you have been living together abroad) will be given credit toward RO compliance for the days the two of you have been living together abroad. This is about the credit a PR can be given for time outside Canada
accompanying-a-Canadian-citizen-spouse-abroad.
My view is that if you arrive soon there is little need to worry about this. Since I am NO expert, the best I can offer to support that is some further explanation for this view. To do that, I will further address these matters in the topic most focused on the
accompanying-a-Canadian-citizen-spouse-abroad credit here:
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/who-accompanied-whom-can-matter-for-prs-living-with-citizen-spouse-abroad-update.579860/page-5.
Thus, in particular, I will respond there to the following posts:
Disagree that it will be safe to travel outside Canada for short visits until the wife is back in compliance with her RO. Any trip outside Canada could lead to being reported for not meeting RO. Given that the wife never established herself in Canada it will be quite difficult to show that she was accompanying her husband abroad from 2018 when she got PR.
You can’t count on days accompanying your spouse until your spouse has established herself in Canada. Without ever establishing your life in Canada together it could be very difficult to get time accompanying Canadian spouses credited towards RO. The argument will be that since you and your spouse never established your lives in Canada she can’t be accompanying you abroad.
