50 days now. still no application appearing in their system :(

Dec 2016 is a long time ago... Wow. You should find a way to call them.

Hi, I'm a PR and my wife is a Canadian citizen. Time spent with her abroad counted as fulfilling the obligation of residence. I was given a PRTD when returning to Canada while my PR Card had expired when overseas. No clue about PRTD from Lebanon, but for Rome VAC it took 2 weeks when we were...

Hi all, I spoke to quite a few people. I sent my app off and it was signed for on the 19th. Immigration lawyers say it usually takes 4 weeks for it to appear in the system and its now just past the 5th week. Is this normal? I'm to travel to the US next month and I will be coming back over via...

So my PRTD was accepted. Ultimately that is all I wanted. Alas, the PRTD was a single entry, despite writing a cover letter stating that my job required me to travel outside of Canada. Now I have to renew my PR card when I get back to Canada, and it states the wait time is 69 days. I will have...

This is what sucks. I 100% meet the requirements. Just don't have addresses. Hoping the Philippines government issued visas that we both have are proof enough. If not and this gets delayed I'm concerned because this job offer I'm moving back for is dependent on me being in Canada.

I just realized I have some accounts in Canada, with TD and also credit card statements where my wife is on my TD card and I am on her TD card. Would this work? The problem is they are Canadian addresses (of her dad's home in Canada) like I say, we were living in the Philippines at the time.

No. We were in Philippines and my wife was there under my work visa. We have copies of all those. But in Philippines they didn't allow my wife to get accounts. It was daft. Hoping the few docs I have are good. We have loads of plane tickets matching. Like 20 trips.

Currently doing this now. I am lacking "evidence of the residential address of the person you are accompanying for the five years before the application (mandatory)" I lived in a country (Philippines) where my wife (the Canadian) was not allowed to be co-listed on rental agreements. I have all...

My employer would most likely allow me to have the time off to do this. It wasn't about a work permit, more about having the time to be in Canada to sort out the renewal. Alternatively I could do it abroad and send it to our address in Canada which we maintain with all out utilities etc via my...

Thank you so much for your advice on this. Is it a simple case of filling out the renewal form, or are there any additional steps I would need to take?

Hi all, As the subject says, I've been outside of Canada for almost 3.5 years. My PR card is up for renewal in June 2016. We do intend to move back to Canada eventually but there are two years left on my overseas contract. I have been here in Philippines working and living with my Canadian...

Thank you. I had a hunch that this was the case. I think the mixed information came from finding information on permanent residence, rather than citizenship.

I've found many resources on the internet but none better than here. That said I still have a question, specifically pertaining to whether or not travelling with a Canadian spouse will mitigate an absence from Canada. My spouse and I travelled outside of Canada for almost 2 years after we got...
