Hello all, I hope for some help please. I am trying to find the fine-print for PR residency obligation to be able to renew. I understand that i must be present in Canada 730 days out of 1825 days. If the 1825 days commences from my PR Landing date, i do meet requirements to renew. If the 1825...

Awesome feedback, many thanks folks

Thanks Scylla. So just for clarity, it is entirely legal for me to stay past my PR expiry date without breaking immigration law, as long as i remain within Canada for that 2 years? Would the customs official turn me away when i arrive at the Canadian international airport with only 7 months...

No not lie, i am not a fraudulent type. I assume Immi cross-reference with ABSU port of entry dates? Can i apply for an extension to PR expiry? Or is there discretionary grounds? Could i plead my case at secondary interview/appeal? Any suggestions? If i serve a fresh 730 day period, my PR will...

Hi folks, between living in Canada and in my home country, i will be 30 days short of the 730 days physical presence requirement, to be able to renew my permanent residency. Can anyone guide me on whether i can fudge the 30 days? It is not possible for me to arrive 30 days earlier, due to...

Hello folks, I am a Permanent Resident living in Vancouver and i need to enter Washington State next Friday evening during peak hours. As i don't visit USA often, last time i did this with no i94 Visa Waiver, i had to park my vehicle and spent 3 hours lined up inside at Peace Arch...

Hi all, I am a Canadian PR, and there is a chance that i may need to leave Canada for an extended period, which will likely jeopardise me meeting my residency obligations to retain my Permanent Resident status, but i need to evaluate how much of a risk this really is. In order to make the smart...

Hi CanadaVisa13, Im glad that you replied, as i didnt know that. So just to confirm that i understand you correctly, if i apply for the Briding Open Work Permit it will be granted for 12 months, and even if my PR application is rejected within that 12 months i can still stay the full period? Do...

Hi folks, could anyone please direct my query, as to where i could research the appeals process, against a rejection decision that has been made for permanent residency? I couldnt find it on CIC website. I am interested to learn some of the following; - what the process is? - how i lodge appeal...

Hi iam_toby, the grounds under the NOC that i used are 75% match, but not 100%, so i need a plan b, in the case of the worse case scenario of a rejection. Hi iamroth, yes good point thanks i hadnt thought about that, its fairly simple.

Background; I have an IEC working holiday program visa til March 2014, and i have applied for Perm Res under the Canadian Experience Classification. In a few months i will apply for a Bridging Visa to allow me continued legal status to work in Canada until a decision is reached on my PR. My...

Thanks Rob_TO, if we were to marry, what would occur following that normally? Would we still have to meet the 12 months living together requirement? And would there be a 12 month processing time before I could get PR and take employment again? Im hazy on what happens next? Any referrals to...
