We applied for immigration to canada earlier and got our PR status/card but have not met the 2 years in 5 years PR obligation. Our PR card expire on 2019. We currently live in the USA on a work visa and with all the new regulations being put in feel very stressful living here. We would like to...

Assume I go to Canada and my wife does not come with me. So I maintain the PR status. If my wife's PR gets revoked can I sponsor her again, and if so should I wait for 2 years to do that? Also, can she come visit me in visitor's visa?

I need to move to Canada next month so that I don't loose my PR status. If I leave the country say in the morning and return back same day does it affect the day count (2 out of 5 years) towards maintaining the PR status in Canada?

Thank you to all who gave their valuable feedback.

Well it is very valuable as it gives me an idea how children and young adults view Calgary. Good to know you like it there inspite the cold. Can I ask from where did you move to Calgary? Also what do you feel about the schools there? I have a 2 year old son, so any update on the schools in...

Thank you so much for this information.

Sent message to gprasad.n. Looking at the post below seems like US Citizen minor can come with US passport. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/sponsor-our-us-citizen-child-inside-canada-t246134.0.html

Actually turns out that the rules for children are even more lenient. See link: http://traveltips.usatoday.com/information-passports-children-going-canada-59751.html.

Thanks for the positive response. Is the job market getting better there?

That is what I heard too. So in anycase my initial place to settle would be Alberta despite the slow economy to find a job. I work in the IT sector, so feel may still be able to get something.

My legal first name has 16 letters. Looks like the capacity to print in PR card is just 15 letters. Except for the last missing letter in my first name everything else in my name matches my passport and CoPR document. Do I need to be worried about it?

My wife and I became Canadian PR in April 2014 and returned to the US. We now have a kid who is a US citizen but not a Canadian PR. We want to move to Canada next month and was under the impression we could take our 2 year old kid into Canada using the US VISA exemption criteria to enter Canada...

Anyone moved from US and settled in Alberta, please share your experience.

The link talks about child born in India. My child is a US citizen, so I was told he is visa exempt to enter Canada for 6 months. In this period we were planning to apply for the child's PR status. I am not sure how long does it take to get the PR card for the child after applying. Let me know...

I heard that if I move to some other province without making/showing effort to settle in the nominating province then there may be issues while renewing the PR. Is there some truth in this?

Just read this post. Making plans to enter with like 15 to 30 day buffer with 730 days so like 745 days or so in Canada in 5 years. Scary to see this post. So at-least they will let me in in the worst case but I will not be allowed to get out right? I am going to Canada for stability and peace...

After having worked in the US for more than 10 years on H1-B (eb2 priority mid-2010, of course I am from India), finally decided to move to Canada as we got the Canadian PR through the Alberta Nomination program. With a lot of thinking we are decided not to loose the Canadian PR and let go of...

I own a house in the US and in the process of moving to Canada. I may not be able to sell it right away, so looking towards renting it for sometime. I am aware of the FIRPTA, 500K Gain waiver and depreciation from the US perspective. From the Canada tax perspective I had read that to calculate...

I need to move to Canada in a couple of months if I need to maintain my Canadian PR status. I currently own a home in the US. I realize that if I sell the house before moving to Canada, I don't have to pay taxes in the US on gain up to $500,000 (married), and don't need to worry about FIRPTA and...

My wife and I have obtained PR status in Canada, but both of us are currently outside Canada. Suppose only one of us move to Canada in time to maintain the 2 year in Canada out of 5 year obligation, would the other person be allowed entry into Canada at a later time even if the residency...
