I haven't seen an answer either, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. When you land, I'm sure the CBSA officers will help you know that to fill in. Just tell them the truth of your situation and you will be fine. To me it would make more logical sense for it to be as a visitor (because you...

Hello fellow December 2014 applicants. I got confirmation that my application was received at CIO Sydney on December 24, 2014. I got my PER Email on March 22, 2015. I have not received an AOR. As I understand it not all VOs send AOR. I figure CPC-Ottawa is one of those that does not. No...

From what I understand and have read elsewhere, you do not need to apply but just provide the "permanent address" in Canada. If you do not have a Cana­dian address at the time when you land in Canada, you must sup­ply one to CIC within 180 days. I haven't landed so I can't speak from firsthand...

You will still be a PR but will need something to prove it to be able to re-enter Canada. Since you will leave Canada prior to receiving your PR card you will have to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document. It is explained here...

Wow. I guess it was the few weeks that made it not permanent enough for them. It seems plausible to me that a person might have such accommodations planned without really knowing how long they will stay before they can arrange their own apartment or other housing. I guess for "permanent" they...

I wonder if there any complications if it is done the other way around. I'm thinking that because it is such a long process. As soon as I get PR I would like to immediately sponsor my parents for PR. Then, in the meantime they could get a super visa to be able to come for longer periods in...

OK. Yeah, it does say "up to" so I see how that can be the case. Thanks! That's good to know. Yeah, I would think that you would want some time in between so as to not raise any concerns. Did your parents get the full 10 years on the super visa? Did they apply for the super visa first or...

Very interesting backstory. Congratulations on getting PR!!!!

What do you mean from a CBSA perspective? I think what you saying is that (if it is true) even though you are a PR, you can still say that you are living in the US and are just visiting Canada. Wouldn't that then cause problems with the residency obligation? In order to not loose PR you have...

Now I'm curious....where is "back home"?

Yeah, I figured that was the case. Yeah. The bottom line like you said earlier is that if you meet your RO you really don't have anything to worry about. Just make sure you have documentation to prove it. Yep. Just do what's right and you will be fine.

Most likely true. Is the burden of proof on the PR to show they meet the RO or is it on the CBSA to prove you don't meet the RO? If you enter the US by ground in a personal conveyance they aren't going to stamp your US Passport. I'm sure they have an electronic record somehow though with the...

I am trying to understand or find in these posts more information about how the Parent Super Visa works. The information on CIC's website is very limited. CIC explains it thus: With the parent and grandparent super visa, eligible parents and grandparents can visit family in Canada for up to...

Hmmm. That's interesting. Thanks for the info, Rob_TO. So even if a person has been a PR for more than 5 years and didn't renew your PR card, you could enter with just your old COPR and your US Passport? Wouldn't that be a red flag for them to open an inquiry to see if you are meeting your...

I am more interested in knowing how exactly that process played out for you. Did you go to get the medical and everything was done in the one visit or did they find out your sugars were high and then send you for testing on other days, etc? Did it delay the process for you to get your PR? Did...

He was asking about his wife leaving the country and about PR status obligations. There is a residency obligation that she be in Canada for 730 days. So the answer is relevant to his wife's situation as she is a PR and is planning to go outside of Canada. It is something the OP need to keep...

A "valid offer of arranged employment" by definition must have an LMIA. In other words, your job offer is valid, whether you are working in Canada or not, if your current or prospective employer: •has made an offer to give you a full-time, permanent, non-seasonal job if you are accepted as a...

Yes, I believe you are correct. You would need LMIA unless it is a LMIA exempt job.

SKguy is correct. The amounts are equivalent to half of those in the table posted in his post. However, depending on your situation, you may not need POF see below: The amount of money you need to support your family is set by the size of your family. We update these amounts every year...

Not sure why the two of you are confused. For Permanent Residents there is a residency obligation that you be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days in the 5 years prior or you could lose your PR status. You do not lose your permanent resident status if your PR card expires...even...
