I definitely agree with your statement. However, I guess I was wondering if changes to immigration laws can be applied retroactively under Canadian constitution?

Even if conservatives win and change the law, can a law take effect retroactively? In my case, the actions that might prove the intent to not reside in Canada i.e. dual PR status lasted while it was legal under the law. If I understand correctly even before C6 dual intent only mattered if you...

As title says - I activated my US green card after becoming Canadian PR. I activated my US green card after I already was a Canadian PR for 1 year. I gave up the US green card 4 months after activating it. 1. Will this affect my Canadian PR renewal? 2. Will this affect my Canadian citizenship...

Yes, we both plan to live in Canada. Just curious that when we apply for PR renewal/citizenship 3-4 years down the line - will CIC deny it stating the fact that I held an US immigrant visa or a US green card for a few months 3-4 years ago?

Just so I understand: 1. So you obtained your Canadian citizenship while having a US immigrant visa printed on your passport? 2. Did they ask you about your immigrant US visa printed on your passport? If so, what did you tell them? Did it cause any issues (RQ etc.)? TIA

Since you seem to have commuted to Canada a lot acquiring partial days counting as full days towards your Canadian citizenship application, I am curious about the following: 1. How do you keep track of potentially several hundred days of entry/exit records? 2. Did they never question you about...

I am a Canadian PR. My acquaintace who lives in India has a bachelors degree Bsc with 49.7%. Given his educational background what Canadian schools/colleges does he have a chance of getting in to? Any reasonable business/science 2 year graduate program are acceptable. Money is a non-issue. TIA.

Thanks. Folks on another US immigration forum have claimed the following: 1. Once you activate your US green card, you cannot use your Ontario provincial healthcare OHIP as a Canadian PR even if you physically reside in Canada. 2. Living in Canada as a Canadian PR would mean that you have...

Thanks for the reply. Is it because of the new bill (C6?) that foregoes "intent to reside" or regardless of the bill it wouldn't matter?

I am Canadian Permanent Resident and I have an approved US green card that I have not activated yet. I am wondering what would be the effect of activating my US green card and surrendering it later in case I choose to stay in Canada. I expect to meet the residency requirements for PR renewal and...

By delaying "getting passport stamped" do you mean delaying actual entering the US by using your immigrant visa or not even getting the visa printed on your passport at all? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. My US spouse plans to move and live in Canada with me. We had started US green card process while we were living in Canada together on PGWP and before we landed as Canadian PRs. Since my wife had to move back due to her moms surgery in the US, we decided to keep the US...

I am a Canadian PR and was recently granted an IR1 visa (which converts to green card once you use it to enter the US). However, I do not think I will use it to enter US and get my US green card, as I want to live in Canada. My questions are: 1. Does the fact that I have an US immigrant visa...

One more question, since there is no “intent to reside” clause for PR renewal as of now, do you think it can be retroactively be implemented in future? For example, I plan to get my U.S. green card and give it up immediately due to personal reasons. If the future, if “intent to reside” is...

Thanks for the detailed reply. I wonder if just the mere act of applying for a U.S. green card can be considered an intent to not live permanently in Canada, even if one doesn't ever move to U.S.?

Does intent to reside ever applied or for. Now applies to Pr card renewals?

Does anyone know if applying for a U.S. green card during your first year after landing as a Canadian PR would have any affect on renewing the PR in future, given one meets the R.O., if the outcome of the green card application is the following: 1. Approved but never moved to U.S. or moved to...
