Thanks for your reply, Mercer. I need documentation of my PR status for a licensing exam and my PR renewal is still in process and I lost my COPR. I was advised other proofs are acceptable and this is why I am asking for advise here.

Hi guys, Do you know of any other proof of Canadian permanent resident status other than PR card and COPR? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I wanted to renew my PR card asap however when I looked at the CIC website, there is a requirement for me to give "consent" to release of info from CRA to ICCRC so the latter can verify my residency and tax information. Honestly, I have not filed my tax returns (during last 5 years)...

Keesio and Rob TO, thank you very much for all these helpful information :)

Seems the key is for me to get in without being reported. Many, many thanks Leon for your valuable help :)

Thanks once again Leon for your advise. Has it ever happened that a PR card renewal was refused (assuming the PR does not get reported upon re-entry into Canada) because the CIC strictly applied the rule of 730 days in the first 5 years as PR? I mean, that is the law, right? And so I am...

Should we get interviewed by an immigration officer upon reentry when he sees I won't be able to meet 730 days even if I stayed til the 5th anniversary of my landing, our plan is to explain our absence by showing hospital documents for unexpected hysterectomy and they can even physically check...

Thank you for your reply Leon. I quoted your previous reply above and it is my understanding that your statement 1 will apply to me should I renew my PR card after logging in 730 days which I have calculated to fall on Oct. 27, 2015 (my 5th year of landing ends on Oct. 4, 2015), is this...

Thank you for your reply, Keeslo. Can an immigration officer refuse my re-entry on the ground that I only have 215 calendar days before the 5th anniversary of my landing and cannot anymore meet my needed 230 days to meet RO? Or is the policy to allow entry and report in the system if...

Hi Leon, I am confused. Kindly help clarify. My question is related to the above thread. I became PR on 10/5/2010. Thus, 5 years after I became PR falls on Oct. 4, 2015. Due to a medical emergency (hysterectomy by next week) on the part of my wife who is also PR, I won't be able to meet...

Hello all, please I need your valuable inputs. I became PR in 2010. To date, I have lived total of 500 days in Canada (entered and left on different occasions). I need 230 days to complete my residency obligation. Me and my spouse were scheduled to leave for Canada last week which would...

Thank you :)

Many thanks for your reply. Is there maybe a reference I can check to read more on this? Cheers.

Hello folks, If a principal applicant and his spouse gets their PR in Canada, and then they obtain a divorce, how soon can the principal applicant (who is now PR) sponsor his next spouse? Is there a time-bar? Thank you.

Hi guys, I have two checking accounts at TD Bank - one in Canadian and the other in US currency. I maintain a good amount of balance in the Canadian account, but keep my US account at a little above zero. The reason being that my US account does not earn any interest. What I normally do is...

You may try places like LEON'S or THE BRICK which sell brand new furnitures at discounted prices. They always have promotions and deferred payment schemes. Of course, you can never go wrong with IKEA too. For used pieces, you may want to search your city's KIJIJI or CRAIGSLIST postings. It...

Dollaramas are really great. I cannot say the same for the smaller dollar store chains. There are a lot of items in Dollarama which are good quality and I cannot believe they are only being sold at those prices.

Hi, you may also check out Dollarama (dollar store), NOT for food, clothes or bigger items, but for smaller things you need around the house. Although some of their items cost over a dollar now, they are still way cheaper than buying from the bigger places. Also check out No Frills as this is...

Just wanted to confirm that all your above answers to my questions were all correct as my dependent landed trouble-free on Monday. Thanks once again.
