    Reflection concerning validity period of the Canadian permanent resident card. Why not more than 5 years? Some concrete examples from other countries.

    I have been reading on the various points above and I just want to share my point of view in the matter. Most people tend to misunderstand the purpose of the PR card and having the PR status. - First the PR card, is exactly that - a card that proves you are a PR and a document you show to the...

    Proof Of Funds (POF) queries

    In general, proof of funds are money that are readily available to you that shows that you are ready to immigrate and ready to support yourself when you come to Canada. Large deposits that cannot be traced from salary/business/investments will be a bit questionable. If you have doubts in the...

    Contact for CIC help to delay landing

    Requesting for extension to comply with the residency obligation of 730 days for a 5 year period is never an option while you are still within the valid 5 year validity period of your PR card. It never happens. If in doubt, consult a lawyer or RCIC.

    Based on the information you have provided above, I suggest to get an RCIC or lawyer to work on your renewal. Since your son is on TRV, Im assuming he was not born in Canada?

    I am Canadian citizen ,Can i apply my mother case on the basis of H&C Humanitarian Ground and how she can get medical insurance free?

    H&C is a tough route for family sponsorship. It does take 2 or more years to process and the approval rate is low. If you are single and you do not have any other family in Canada, it is possible but yeah, medical inadmissibility can also be an issue. Best to contact an RCIC or lawyer.

    She can talk to a lawyer or an RCIC. The people in this forum will not be able to tell you on the percentage of her chances. A claim for refugee protection goes through the IRB. She would have to provide evidence of fear from persecution and that there is no other option for her but to seek...
