Thanks , Scylla...

I stand corrected. Was not aware of the latest updates. Thanks Needleartist.

Hi All, Now that the case is under appeal, can we in parallel apply for PR for my mother in law under the 'sponsorship of parents / grandparents for PR in Canada under family class', which is due to re-open on January 2nd 2014 after being suspended for over two years (during which period, I now...

Dear All, My wife and son applied for their PR card renewal on 27th September 2013. The issue is wrt a impending trip abroad in mid-March which my wife has to take to settle some property related matters in her country of origin. Would it be safe to proceed with the booking of air tickets...

My personal opinion is that it is both, as the information content on the form relates to apart from the value of goods one is getting into Canada also when "did you leave Canada" which is used to determine your immigration status. i.e. calculate the 730 days when the renewal of PR is initiated...

Hi, I arrived into Canada last month and sailed through the first immigration check since it is automated for PR's and Canadian citizens. Since one of my checkin luggages had not arrived on the flight I had taken, I had to fill up a baggage claim form and submit it to the IO at exit. I thought I...

Hi Zardoz, None of the judgements and appeals mention "misrepresentation" however in the details of the judgement on the refugee claim there is a mention of inconsistency between the communal reasons i.e. torture,looting,etc that was mentioned by the lawyer in the refugee claim and the reasons...

Thank you Scylla,Mikey & Catou for your replies. Yes, probably the second application was a refugee claim.After the hearing, the lawyer informed us that he met the Judge subsequently and my mother in law had won the appeal and she had got her PR. We were all delighted and even spread the news...

Hi everyone, My mother in law had been travelling often since 2000 (her elder daughter I.e. my sister in law was a PR since 1996 and subsequently got her citizenship.) We (my wife , my son and myself) applied for PR in 2002 and subsequently got it in 2008 after which we did our landing and my...

Hi, My experience with PEO is exactly the opposite. I landed in Oct 2008, submitted my papers for PEO registration in Dec same year with all my college transcripts (the University I studied at is a member of the Commonwealth group) and work related experience letters (not in Canada, not in US...

Hi, My experience with this justification of paying taxes, holding bank acounts, owning property did not go well with the IO's. I tried to reason it out with the IO the year I was flagged to secondary immigration (after returning with a gap of a year), the response I got was that "We are not...

Jabs, I think you need to be there by Aug 2014.....to meet the 2/5 rule to retain your residency, unless you have a compelling reason to stay away (not education,work,etc).

Hi, This seems to be a new development. over the past five years (almost) since getting my PR I have been in a very similar position to you and have been filling up all details on the immigration form as per my Canadian residency. Not once was I questioned (once even returning after more than a...

Thanks Scylla.......

Hi all, Wanted to update on my last visit to Canada in April this year. I was allowed into Canada without any further questioning once I stated that I had visited my mom who is ailing from cancer back home in India.I think the entries made in the system earlier in December 2012 about the health...

Dear Leon, Just one last query. By renouncing my PR, what does it mean? Will they take away my PR card (which will be still valid, or do I have to fill up some form? Can they take away the card ( like they did for my medical card)? What are my rights?Eagerly awaiting your prompt response.

Thanks Leon, Your response give me a lot of confidence. I am really indebted to your sound advice to me. I am carrying all the medical papers of my deceased dad and ailing mom with me and shall show it if need be. Many thanks once again.....

Hi Leon, Wanted to update you and seek your advice on an email response I received a short while ago from the Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi a shortwhile ago to the latest update on my case which I had communicated on the 7th of this month, which goes as follows: Dear Sir/ Madam, This is in...

DVR, I think your case is quiet complicated. My advise is to consult a lawyer. All the best. Cheers

Tonyo; Dont worry , sis...I think you will sail through immigration...my personal experience being in my fifth year out of Canada due to my moms ill-health, is that they started noticing I was not going to meet the residency requirements in my fourth year..i.e.last year only.....I think you...
