Once your spouse has PR status, she is free to leave Canada with or without you. If you both move abroad, those days spent with you will likely count towards the required Residency Obligation of 730 days (minimum) within each rolling 5 year window to maintain her status. You must [both] be in...

The OP stated that they were healthy when they landed and became a PR.

You need to replace the word `girlfriend' with Common-Law Partner, since she is no longer your girlfriend. ;)

For continuity, you should use that same address for the sponsorship application. However... You must notify IRCC that you made a mistake in the address history of your PR Card renewal because if you do not...and IRCC sees the discrepancy, you could be found to have misrepresented the facts of...

That makes no sense in the context of this thread.

You state that you were charged, but do not indicate if you were convicted. If you were, you must disclose this in your application, irrespective to whether or not you are now deemed to be rehabilitated. Do NOT assume that just because it may not appear on your PCC you can withhold the...

It just seems odd that the entire section that was added to these forums after that crash, seemed to be tailored to Americans, hence the `Moving to Canada from the U.S.' title. The `Permanent Residence in Canada' sub-forum that was created has become the de-facto forum for most of the...

I'll go out on a proverbial limb and say that it may have had more to do with the winner in 2016, than the economic outlook...hence the `again' in the thread title.

If you leave Canada, there is no status to restore.

Right after the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, this website crashed (apparently) from the overwhelm of people looking for info/help to move to Canada. This [sub] forum, along with the other two in this newly created `Moving to Canada from the U.S.' forum was created after that crash...

Does your lawyer not understand that a PR Card renewal application is submitted to IRCC, NOT to CBSA?

You are correct; it's far too late for your dad to restore his status in Canada. An Inland applicant needs to be in Canada during the PR approval process, so leaving would certainly put his application at risk. Since he has reached the all-important AIP milestone and the fact that he has a...

Since the application submitted is for a person to sponsor their spouse or partner...it makes sense that they received the AoR, right? Having said that and because only one AoR is generated, that is sufficient for the OWP application so long as the person being sponsored still has legal status...

I concur with the suggestions from @scylla At this point, you have no idea if CBSA has taken any action towards informing IRCC that you appear be out of compliance regarding the required residency obligation to maintain PR Status. You should also start to create the narrative that you may...

It's no surprise that they `finally allowed you to enter'...because they MUST allow a PR to enter Canada (unless they are deemed inadmissible for reasons other than residency compliance). The short answer is, yes. IRCC can do that. The problem, for you, is that you apparently had no idea that...

Why not simply defer the renewal application until you are ready? 1. You do not need to apply today...even if your PR Card has expired, or will be expiring soon. If you are planning to travel via a commercial carrier (on your return to Canada) you would need a valid PR Card or PRTD (unless you...

You need to ensure that your H&C grounds are solid! What happened with the lawyer you mentioned in your post back in May?

At the risk of starting a lot of back and forth...I wonder if by answering `No', the OP could be seen as misrepresenting themselves, since they were accompanying on some of those absences from Canada. The question seems to be pretty clear, but having said that, I would hope that IRCC would not...

Can you clarify the following: I hold a certificate of Indian Status which meant I needed to be in Canada in order to sponsor them in. Are you referring to status in the U.S. as a member of a recognized tribe, or one in Canada?

True, but if the OP can work remotely for a person or company that is outside of Canada (with no presence, or customers in Canada) they can do so without needing a work permit (unless that has changed).
