The flights where my exit was recorded have been to Europe directly, none via the States.

I got my CBSA report recently and can tell you that they track all entry/exits. The cover letter that accompanied the report stated; "Please note that the records are being released in their entirety. Also note that six exit records were retrieved. Please note that exit information is only...

Your PR does not expire, only the PR card has an expiry date. The only way you can lose Permanent Residency is by having it revoked by CIC or you renounce it yourself. CIC can revoke it for many reasons, including breaking serious laws or trying to renew your PR card without meeting the...

Thanks for commenting wahwah. I have met the RO by 19 March 2014 but the numbers are quite close so I want to insure that I have a buffer of at least 10 days or so. Also I don't have any proof of being here for days I spent here when I originally landed so I can't prove to CIC that I was here...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card/apply-first-pr-card.asp How are you crossing the land border, private car? rental car? bus? train? Whichever method you're travelling by be prepared for questioning by the border agent; they'll want to know why you don't have a PR card and if you...

I will be going through a similar situation at the end of the month, from what I've read on here is that you can wait a few weeks after the expiry date before renewing to make sure you're in compliance with the RO. In saying that, I'm not sure if the situation is different when it's a first...

I wish I was, would make things alot easier! I'm just sharing the information, I had friends who were going to renew their cards without mentioning trips over the land borders but obviously now they're tracking exits too so they're tightening things up!

Hi all, Just thought I'd post something relating to the CBSA Report that I got recently for my entry/exits. Interestingly in the cover letter they state; "Please note that the records are being released in their entirety. Also note that six exit records were retrieved. Please note that exit...

Thanks Hana90, that seems a viable reasoning. Mine would be a bit more up in the air having made the decision not to move back to Canada until I was ready and finishing some education and working elsewhere. Still, I meet the RO and can prove my dates so I don't think I would be at too much of a...

I'm pretty confident in my dates, I've used excel and entered every trip. I can prove a 2 day trip in Jan 2012 for interviews and then I have lots of proof for when I moved here in March 2012 (flight itineraries and receipts, shipping documents. etc.). For the road trips to the States its a bit...

Thanks for the responses guys. I spent a large amount of the days (1068 days) outside the country from when I landed March 2009 until end of Feb 2012. Nothing to exempt me, I was in college in the UK, and then Australia and Ireland working. I knew I had to came back here in Mar 2012 to meet the...

As the title implies I will have accrued 1090 days outside of Canada by the time I plan to renew my card, with 736 days in country. I know that these meet the RO requirements but I'm wondering should I leave the renewal for another while to reduce my outside days? I've a trip planned and was...

Do you know which number CIC use to define the RO period; 1825 days or 5 calender years from renewal date? If the OP applies uses the period 29-June-2009 to 29-June-2014 in my calculations that's a 1827 day period where as if a 1825 back-calculated day period is used from 29-June-2014 that gives...

I think I may have a similar application to make when my time comes next month. I became a PR on 20 March 2009, my card expires on 4 April 2014. I was planning to apply for renewal around March 30th to give myself a 10-12 day RO buffer in-case of anything that I've missed but judging by the...

Hi Guys, Has anybody got experience in filling out the renewal form, most notably the section to fill out for time spent outside of the country? I've been on several trips to the States for a day, driving down to shop or other fun stuff. I was wondering how I report this. Technically any part...

Thanks for that Leon. I'm not sure what defines a business trip, but I'll be working the same role in Australia but will still be paid and taxed here in Canada. I guess maybe if I'm being paid and taxed here it's determined to be just a business trip. I'll check out the link you sent and see...

Sadly my spouse wasn't Canadian at the times I was on vacation. I've another question, from going through the cic website about working outside of the country the following is quoted; "as a term of your employment or contract, you are assigned on a full-time basis to: a position outside...

Well it was worth a try I guess. Good job I don't smoke! Thanks for your help!

Hi all, I'm currently going through the paperwork that's involved in renewing my PR card. I understand for the renewal of PR cards I have to have a minimum of 730 days in the country. In calculating the days living in the country, I was wondering if days spent on vacation outside the country...

Hi guys, Quick question. I'm currently living in Canada as a Permanent Resident. My PR card is set to expire on April 4th but according to my calculations, I'll be able to apply for renewal on March 25th. The reason it's so close to the expiry date is that I have to wait to accumulate 730 days...
