T&T does not have an embassy in Dubai. The closest one is in London. Seeing that we landed in Canada, we took the opportunity to apply for our passports there. I'm not sure if it's illegal to post passports but we were planning on posting in our existing passports to be cancelled and then...

Hi all, I'm a Trinidad & Tobago citizen. I live in Dubai. My family landed in July and we came back the following month. Only my PR card has arrived at the Canadian address. Not sure what happened to the other family members own. Had someone call in Canada about it and say it might have...

Actually I landed on July 3rd and left July 18th. My card has come in the mailing address I left in Canada but my wife and child's own did not arrive as yet.

Count me in too, I'm from Qatar (Middle East) and am looking to move to Canada as well.

I recently landed in Canada, came back to my job in Qatar. I sent applications on workopolis, monster.ca, through other websites where Canadian jobs were advertised and I got 1 response via email, and it was in Calgary while I had indicated an interest in Toronto and it only said to get in...

Good day, One of the challenges I have is transitioning to Toronto, Canada without a consistent stream of income. So what I've decided to do is do as much as possible while outside of Canada e.g. registerring a business etc., obtaining licenses etc. without necessarily having to physically be...

Good day all, I'd like your advice/input regarding moving to Toronto, Canada. I landed on July 3 and spent two weeks there. I'm comparing Toronto against Qatar and Trinidad and Tobago. Compared to T&T I think Toronto is good, the only drawback is the cold and taxes. However, compared to Qatar...

Thanks a lot for the guidance. I think it is best to cut all ties with Qatar, move to Canada and maintain the residency requirements and then apply for Citizenship. Regards, Anand.

Good day all, My wife, three children and I landed in Toronto on July 3rd. We came back to Qatar on July 18th. I am contemplating sending the wife and children after 2 1/2 years from now and I would work in Qatar, visit them for 1 week each in mid Feb, mid-May, they would come up to Qatar for...

How come is it included as one of the 4 options? If it's not relevant today then it should have been taken out of the form completely or deleted as one of the options in maintaining residency obligations. If it's outdated then the CIC should update their information because it provides...

Good day all, I have been exploring all ways to retain my residency and I hope that someone may be able to advise. Being absent while in the possession of a valid Returning Resident Permit seems to be the only viable option if I stay beyond the 1095 days outside of Canada. Right now I can...

Thanks Leon for the information, it was too good to be true anyways. Take care, Anand.

I was on another forum. Someone made a reference to the following website saying that the IRPA does NOT explicitly bind these rules together. I'm not sure who the IRPA is but if you could please check this site and see how this is different from what you mentioned. The option 2 that I was...

Thanks a lot Leon for the detailed response.  It's really much appreciated. Staying 5 months in Canada is not a problem.  The children can go to school in Qatar and leave 2 weeks before the July/August holdidays and return two weeks later (3 months).  They can also leave 2 weeks prior to the...

Good day to all, I currently work in the Middle East and my wife and 3 kids were granted residency status. Finding a job is a bit difficult now in Canada so I have decided to keep my job in Qatar for the time being. My wife and kids can stay in Canada for 5 months per year to satisfy PR...
