Yeah, there are indeed several issues with this plan:
1. The possibility of getting reported at the border when OP attempts entry on June 11 2022
2. If he can pass #1, then there is the issue of not being able to sponsor wife or child until at least June 12 2024 (so wife and child won't get PR...
Other members have explained to you that nobody can tell you what the exact chances are of getting reported. Nobody knows.
At this point, the only thing you can hope for is to get back into the country on June 11 2022 without getting reported.
Since you're only 17 days short (as of June 11...
I was just counting the total number of days that you would be out of the country.
You said that you would be out of the country at the following periods:
If you sum up all the days above, you would get 1,110 days:
- 29 April 2018 - 27 March 2021: 1,063 days
- 13 Dec 2021 - 29 Dec 2021: 16...
Nobody can tell you the exact chance that you will be able to make it in without getting reported.
If you follow through with the plan, from 7 April 2018 to 11 June 2022, you would have been out of the country for more than 1,111 days, way over 1,095.
Also, keep in mind that, if you are able...
Do you know if this is universally practiced by all Service Ontario offices? If it is only true for some locations, or even tellers, then I guess a PR can always go to another office and try their luck there.
BC, for example, does not mention that they would accept CoPR as proof of permanent...
Citizens of visa-exempt countries do NOT need eTA to cross the border by land. They only need it in order to board a flight to Canada.
Also, a PR or a citizen has the right to enter Canada, so when they show up at the port of entry, once it is established that they are PRs/citizens, CBSA would...
I personally know a few PRs that moved from ON to QC, and there didn't seem to be any issue whatsoever (a PR can live and work anywhere in Canada without restrictions).
The only scenario that I could see could be problematic is if somebody got their PR through CSQ or PNP, but they immediately...
I'm wondering about applying for citizenship under Subsection 5(2) though.
It is true that the child would not require to be present in Canada for 1,096 days out of the last 5 years, but it is specifically mentioned that they cannot be inadmissible or having any 'unfulfilled conditions...
If you can enter the country without being reported, then the advice is: wait 731 days after the date of your entry before applying to renew your PR card.
Do not leave the country even once for the next 731 days, and do not try to engage with IRCC (such as sponsoring anybody) or CBSA in any...
It is very likely that you are still a Canadian citizen. Do you still have your birth certificate? You should be able to apply for a passport using that alone (though you may have some difficulty finding a guarantor, unless you know somebody in Canada).
You need to fill out the app, ArriveCan. As of right now, you don't need test results, if you are fully vaccinated.
But make sure you complete filling out everything on ArriveCan before crossing the border, including the very last section where they ask you if you have a place to stay in case a...
In theory, US citizens can just fly to Canada, and showing the airlines the US passports should suffice (again, in theory).
As PR US citizens, you should not need PR cards or PRTD in order to board a flight to Canada, and non-PRs US citizens don't need eTAs either.
However, once in Canada...
There might be an option for multiple entry PRTD for PRs who accompany their Canadian citizen spouses
Another option would be to fly to USA, and cross back into Canada by land.
Yeah, that's true. If you landed less than 5 years ago, then you only need to show that you still have time to get 731 days at the completion of the first five years (from the day of landing, NOT from the day you get PR card).
It's in the IRCC I quoted above:
Also, Canada and USA have been exchanging entry and exit information through land border since 2013 for non-USA and non-Canadian citizens (and since July 2019, USA and Canadian citizens have been included as well).
So they know everytime you leave the...
You are a permanent resident, you do not need a PR card in order to sponsor your spouse and children (I am assuming you have specified in your application that they would be non-accompanying?).
However, you have to be physically present in Canada (with or without PR card) in order to sponsor...
It's probably not going to be an issue to continue using your Korean passport to enter the USA. That way, you can continue using your H4 visa stamp. I know a dual citizen Canadian who still uses his other passport (with a valid B2 visa stamp) to enter the USA, and it's never been a problem.
As of this moment, ON no longer has the 90-day waiting period, so you will be eligible for OHIP at day-1, and can access care immediately, PROVIDED you will be, at least, physically present in the province 154 days out of the first 180 days...
That's true, and it was especially so before July 2019, when they did not have to share information on USA and Canadian citizens.
But since then, I think the record has been much better. I have crossed the land border so many times, before and after July 2019, and before and after I became a...
