    Got an R-1 but have not met the 2 year residency requirement

    As I said before, I believe you're right, I just wish someone who had gone thru the same situation would tell me everything went fine. Lol

    Got an R-1 but have not met the 2 year residency requirement

    I see your point, and I can't stand the idea of living in Canada for two years without any id other than a foreign passport. My concern is based on the fact that I won't be able to prove that I meet the RO, and it's confusing that they gave me the R-1 and I would have to wait for two years...

    Got an R-1 but have not met the 2 year residency requirement

    Now I have a couple more questions based on living in Canada without a PR Card: Will employers care if I don't have my PR card? I remember the two employers I had in the past asked for the card. In general, how tough will my life be living in Canada for two years without the card? I used to...

    I left Canada just before the pandemic in January 2020. I was in Canada for 15 days in December of the same year and one week in April 2022. My PR card expired in May 2023. So not even 6 months

    Got an R-1 but have not met the 2 year residency requirement

    You have a point, I also thought it was crazy that they issued the R-1 by mistake. The decision was made within a week, I'm not sure they would have made a decision so quickly to realize later that they made a mistake

    Maybe I should wait till I meet the two yea Yes, I guess I won't take any risk because I was already fortunate enough to be considered a pr after all. Thank you all, I think I've made my decision. Have a nice rest of the week. Take care!

    Got an R-1 but have not met the 2 year residency requirement

    That makes sense to me. As soon as I get back to work in Canada, I will try to apply and wait. I have no need to leave Canada again, so waiting for the new card won't be a problem

    Got an R-1 but have not met the 2 year residency requirement

    Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear when I said I applied for a humanitarian consideration under a non conventional circumstance. I meant that it wasn't through working for a Canadian company nor any of the other conditions listed on the cic website, yet I received an R-1.

    Got an R-1 but have not met the 2 year residency requirement

    Hello everyone, I have received a PRTD R-1 after living abroad for 3+ years straight. For some reason the R-1 has a permanent resident title in it as well. I looked up online and found out that the R-1 means I met the residency obligation, I did apply with humanitarian consideration that does...
