I agree: otherwise it makes no sense to mention one Nationality in that clause.

Hi all, I met an immigration lawyer specializing in Canada yesterday, to clear my doubts about crossing into Canada using an expired PR Card. (My PR Card expired in 2013 and I have not fulfilled my residency obligations.) This is what she said: 1. It is not true that the border officials at...

Hi Scylla, I am going to try and cross Rainbow Bridge with my expired PR Card. Some concerns: 1. My card expired in 2013. I stayed in Canada barely a month. Has the card been "too long expired?" and the duration of stay too short for them to let me enter? 2. A shuttle takes you from Buffalo...

Ok, so there would be no violation of the US visa either. Sorry, I just want to err on the side of caution. I'm going to start making my plans now and give this a shot. Thanks for your patience.

Sounds like the best way to get back into Canada, then. The PR status part of it will just have to be left to chance. I am willing to take that risk. However, since I'd need to stay on in Canada for 2 continuous years or until I am told to leave, will I not be violating the US Visitor visa given...

Scylla and Leon, since this is crucial to me, let me ask you again: The border crossing personnel manning the crossing between US and Canada at Niagara cannot turn me back? They can only question and report me to the Immigration authorities in Canada, during which time I can live in Canada? If...

That is what I thought, Scylla. So I will apply for a TD as you had suggested. Will also put in an appeal to consider letting me retain my PR status. I think that is the only option left. Thanks

Leon: Even if I can enter Canada with an expired PR Card, they won't let me cross Immigration here in Delhi if I don't have a valid visa/PR Card. So I would have to get a visitor visa to Canada. Now that's where the problem is: the visa officers in Delhi will check my record and know that I have...

Hi, I've been reading advice here on entering Canada through the US by land in a private vehicle. I have an Indian passport. My PR Card expired in 2013. Will they let me into Canada if I cross the Niagara bridge? Or would they too want to see some sort of travel document for entry into Canada...

Thanks, Scylla. Your advice is helpful to me. Do they not even consider looking after a minor child after your divorce a major reason to stay back? My son was in school then, and I was recovering from multiple fractures. My doctor can certify to this. However, I do see that you are right: it is...

Thank you so much for your reply. Is a Travel Document different from a Visitor Visa? I do very much want to retain my PR status, but if financial and family circumstances are not considered valid, I have little hope... Option B: Canada usually issues six-month multi-entry visitor visas for...

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, and would be grateful for your advice. I became a landed immigrant in 2008, but stayed only a week. The PR was granted to me at a time when I was going through a painful family situation that left me financially and emotionally drained. I had also suffered a...
