@armoured - 100% agree :) I too kick myself for it. Honestly, I am really tempted to relinquish my PR and reapply ASAP before I turn 40 next year. Decision, Decisions and Decisions :) I appreciate you sparing a thought for me, my friend!

Fantastic advise as always @dpenabill . I am leaning towards the same - just collecting facts and opinions to be well prepared to expect the different scenarios and have a plan to handle it. As you know, my Canadian employer will totally expect me to travel internationally on work. So I will...

You are 100% correct and stating a fact about my preference. Nothing would have changed until my son is vaccinated, except covid outbreak levels and the severity of the existing covid variants. I made my decisions for a reason. And I am trying to figure out if I can still get back to Canada and...

Glad to hear that your H&C case was considered favorably. If I may enquire, what were your H&C grounds? I am in default of my RO due to not being able to travel with an unvaccinated toddler. I am wondering if that would be sufficient. Thanks @zaid9199 ! @mrehanali - Can you also share some of...

Thanks all. Yes I will consult an attorney. alternatively I’ll find out if I can switch to Work Permit. Come to Canada and apply PRusing the job offer as a bonus. Let’s see. Thanks again. Covid has been a pain in the ass. I am kicking myself for not moving sooner ideally pre Covid.

I appreciate the super detailed post from @dpenabill and insight from @canuck78 - I agree that it would be hard to be 100% sure about this. - I would be moving in with a job - so should be financially well positioned. Just poorly positioned from an immigration perspective. I am less worried...

Fantastic and detailed explanation by dpenabill! I am in a similar boat as the OP. PR Card issued Dec 2018 valid through Dec 2023. Finally now, my employer is ready to transfer me to Canada. But I am having cold feet on going to Canada without the assurance that I can remain in the country...

Thanks @scylla - I appreciate your response. yes, going to Canada and staying put for 2 years is theoretically an option. But I wouldn't want to live my life that way - not worth it for me though I am sure it is a good option for many who do not mind staying put for 2 years. lastly, if i give...

Context - My wife, my son and I have a Canadian PR Card dated Dec 2018 and expiring in Dec 2023. We did our soft landing in Sep 2018 and returned back to the US, where we live on an H1B visa. Given that it is Sep 2021 already, there is practically no way that I can move to Canada and...

Armoured - Thanks for your well thought out response. I really appreciate it. I agree with all that you said. I'll keep that in mind as I plan my move to Canada!

My wife, my son and I have a Canadian PR Card dated Dec 2018 and expiring in Dec 2023. We did our soft landing in Sep 2018 and returned back to the US, where we live on an H1B visa. I plan to seek a job transfer from my employer in March - a multi-national company - to move from USA to Canada in...

Thank you so much Scylla. Could I be reported for failing to meet residency requirement even if I move in say August 2021, one month ahead of the deadline? I assume not, but just confirming. Also, say I move in Aug 2021, but over the next 2 years, I end up traveling out of Canada on work or...

I have a PR Card through Express Entry dated Dec 2018 and expiring in Dec 2023. We did our soft landing in Sep 2018. Questions I am trying to find answers to - Do I have until (A) Dec 2021 or (B) Sep 2021 to move to Canada such that I retain my PR? (730 days in trailing 5 years)? Would I be...
