Hm...not sure I want to make them angry with such statements...I don't want them to add something to my file that would send me right to secondary inspection each time I arrive. Not that I have anything to hide, but I think without secondary is better still... I think I will fill indeed two...

Thanks Leon It is interesting actually that you have mentioned taxes and healthcare. My MSP plan is indeed "frozen" for two years after I have informed them that I have started working abroad (with a hope that I will find a job in Canada again and activate the plan before these frozen 2 years...

Hi Thanks...indeed this probably a new thing as I have never seen such issue on this forum before. In addition, this is not the first time I visit my family in Canada since I started working abroad and I have never been asked before to indicate that I am a visitor... They always asked me where...

Thanks friends... Wow, so different opinions on such apparently a straightforward issue... I guess there are quite many people that are in the same situation as I - PRs that visit Canada from time to time to accumulate days for PR obligation and visit their family - but spend most time of the...

Thanks scylla! I almost had a heart attack thinking that I will not be able to count these days. What would you recommend indicating on the card? I think maybe to indicate my address abroad but still tick the "resident" box and a date when I left Canada the last time? Unhappy officers that...

Really??? I thought each day I spend on Canadian soil should count toward my residency obligation? I did not see anywhere that you must fill in the "resident" on the declaration form in order for these days to be counted? He asked where I work in Canada, and I honestly said that I work abroad...

Hi all, I am a PR since July 2010, but in April 2012 I started working abroad and since then I come back to Canada every few months for 3-4 weeks. When I fill in the declaration form, I usually was stating that I am a resident of Canada and indicating the day I left Canada last time, as well as...

Hi Msafiri, 1. Debit card use - yeah, you are right...I have to find other ways of proving the residency 2. At this moment I have 635 days physical presence in Canada form the day of landing in July 2010. Since I started working in Europe a year ago, I go back to Canada quite frequently for...

Thanks steaky and Leon, Yes, I was going to order travel history from Canada border services agency anyway, in order to prove all my visits and holidays back to Canada while I am working in Europe. I am also keeping all the boarding passes. However, I am not sure they will record every day my...

Dear friends, I was researching this option (Windsor/Detroit) thing for quite some time now. I know this was discussed coupled times on this forum, but I could not find any clear information, or any feedback from people who actually went this route and could share their experience. I understand...

I was researching this option (Windsor/Detroit) thing and came across a term Permanent Resident Commuter Status (US Green Card C2) - which allows one to live in Canada/Mexico and to commute to US to work. The time a US GC holder is on a "commuter" status does not count toward naturalization. I...

Wait a moment Frankie...Are you sure you dont meet residency obligation at this moment? If you arrived to Canada in 2008 and then spent 2 years here, and then came 4 times to Canada after you left (how long have you stayed each time?). The math suggests you might have 730 days inside Canada in...
