Does anyone know of any situation whereby someone has been a permanent resident for longer than five years, left Canada for an extended time, returned to resettle and was given a new permanent resident card but didn’t have to then wait until Physically present for 1,095 days before applying for...

Returned to Canada after living overseas for 13 years. I have PR status and was sponsored via family class in 200. I qualify to meet residency obligations due to traveling with my citizen wife for the last five years. Originally landed in 2001 and original PR card expired and lapsed in 2008...

thank you for your response.

Hello I have PR status and was sponsored under family class in 2001. My Canadian citizen wife and I left Canada to live in the USA in 2007 and then lived in overseas in Asia after retiring from our jobs in 2015. My last PR card expired in 2008 after we left Canada and I let it lapse. We...

Thanks for the replies The catch 22 is this; you get a PRTD by sending the application to a VAC (visa application center) which are third parties contracted by the government to process travel documents. Since nobody eligible to travel to Canada needs a travel document while the restrictions are...

We have enough money to live for 40 years with a combination of both US and Canadian assets. That’s not the issue. The issue is Thailand’s rules are in limbo until at least August and wiring cash to Thailand is a separate problem that gets harder every day which is why we may not qualify for...

Hello I’m looking for advice for a catch 22 situation. I am an American citizen living with my Canadian citizen wife in Thailand on a retirement visa. My wife sponsored me under family class in 2001 but we left Canada in 2007 and I let my PR card lapse many years ago because we didn’t know our...

Sounds reasonable. Thanks very much for taking the time to help. I appreciate it and owe you a beer once I get out of Asia and have access to real beer again

Thanks for the fast reply. Can I please ask your advice ? With the application, do you suggest sending an accompanying letter explaining she has dual citizenship and why we used her US passport and would you advise sending copies of her overseas retirement visas which are in the passport as...

Hello I'm an American citizen married to a Canadian citizen. I was sponsored by my wife under family class status and received a record of landing document in 2001 (It's an IMM 1000 and was issued prior to the implementation of the COPR). We lived in Calgary for six years with only short...

Hi Thanks for the link. I’ve already seen that and I don’t believe it applies to those that moved out of Canada for an extended period. I have lived in three countries since leaving Canada in 2007 although I have made several periodic visits to family using visitor status on my US passport to...

That contradicts what I read on a link from the government on this topic. Why would time outside Canada count towards residency requirement and what is that requirement? I thought it was two years after returning to reactivate a PR card

I'm an American citizen married to Canadian citizen. I was landed in 2001 based on family class sponsorship and obtained a PR card when they first invented the card. We subsequently moved to the USA in 2007 and I let my card lapse past its 2008 expiry. We retired in 2015 and have been living in...

Hi Thanks so much for the information. It sounds reliable. So, since I will have a different US passport than the one from my original landing, I suppose it makes sense to approach the actual physical officer at an airport, tell him we are returning residents and ask to be admitted under my PR...

Hi Thanks for the reply. If you can elaborate a bit, I'd appreciate it 1) Since I can only enter into a major Canadian airport by scanning my US passport at the kiosk, does the Canadian system somehow tie in and know I'm still a PR? In other words, without a Canadian passport or current PR...

This is a short version of my other thread below. Sorry; should have asked this first I was landed in 2001 based on marriage class. We lived and worked in Canada from 2001 until 2007 and then moved to the USA. I let my PR card lapse in 2008. We retired and now live in Southeast Asia but wish to...

Hello and advance apologies for the long question I'm a US citizen and was landed in 2001 based on marriage class (Canadian citizen wife). Back then, I received an old "record of landing document" and I also have a SIN Number. I applied for and received a PR card back when the requirements for...
