    Parent visit visa

    Yep, that's likely the process at the airport if you still have a valid PR card. There's also a chance you might simply get asked when you hand in the kiosk ticket, even if you weren't flagged by the kiosk. Different story if you don't have a valid PR card and are crossing the land border. No...

    Parent visit visa

    Doesn't look like it - OP was sent to secondary inspection and asked about the residency obligation: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pr-renewal-without-meeting-residency-obligations.857071/

    Supporting document to prove residency obligation for PR renewal

    Bank and credit card statements should do the trick. And tax returns if they filed their taxes.

    Renewal PR card

    Have you worked out how many days you would have to stay in Canada to meet the residency requirement? If it's only a few months, I highly recommend you wait with PR card application until then. As mentioned before, a PR card application under H&C will likely take significantly longer (many...

    PRTD without meeting residency obligation

    I don't think you can assume that. I have personally crossed a land border and have been asked about my residency obligation, even though I was in compliance. Nobody in this forum has information about whether arriving at an airport or a land border is more likely to trigger questions about your...

    Passing US border with valid PR, but not meeting PR obligation 730 day

    If a lawyer has suggested this pathway, then I suggest you ask him/her the questions you asked here. I agree with @Buletruck that this advice seems - at the very least - a little confusing, but as many here are, I too am hesitant to contradict advice you have received from a lawyer who (I...

    Passing US border with valid PR, but not meeting PR obligation 730 day

    If you still have a valid PR card (which is what I assume you mean by "My and damily Pr will expire 2025 Aug"), why do you intend to cross via a land border? Do you currently live in the US?

    Section 44 Report after CBSA allowed Entry

    I don't fully understand what you mean by this. To clarify: CBSA has nothing to do with this anymore. When you were examined at the border, they (apparently) chose not to issue you a report. But then you chose to apply for a PR card, which is processed by IRCC. ICRR then determined you don't...

    Section 44 Report after CBSA allowed Entry

    Reading OP's post, it doesn't look like he/she was issued the report as a result of the border crossing. Instead, OP applied for a PR card after being let into the country, and was most likely issued the report in response to that application, not as a result of the application to enter at the...

    Meeting PR Obligations

    The problem is you won't know until you try to renew your PR card. https://www.myconsultant.ca/EN/Residency-Obligation#:~:text=R61(4) provides that each,common-law partner or parent. ^This article outlines one of the main issues (and in general shows how difficult it can be to rely on this...

    PR working in Canada as expat but paying income taxes in Japan...?

    In addition to @scylla's explanation on the requirements regarding taxes, I wanted to clarify implications on your immigration status: Fulfilling the residency obligation for PR is not directly tied to you filing taxes in Canada. To prove you meet the residency obligation, you only need to...

    Got a follow up call after 44(1) report

    Your situation seems complicated due to the 44(1) report and the sponsorship application for your child. On the plus side it seems you have not yet received a removal order, but it is possible the officer who called you wants to make a decision on this. If you are not planning to travel, there...

    Exact documents needed for renewal PR - SEP 2024

    You should always follow the instructions provided by IRCC directly when it comes to completing applications, not what some other websites say. If you meet the residency obligation, you still need to provide evidence. Two documents are sufficient. This could consist of a bank statement, a tax...

    PR Card Renewal - Honest Mistake

    If you have received your PR card, I don't see the need to correct this mistake. For online applications, it seems an AOR is seldom issued and the "Submitted" status never changes. If I were you, I would just leave it be.

    PR card was returned to IRCC as undeliverable

    Are you using a residential address, ie a house or apartment/condo? As far as I remember, you must use your residential address - PO Boxes etc are not acceptable.

    Travelling to Canada by car with expired pr card

    It doesn't matter which documents you show, as long as they can positively establish you are a PR by looking you up in their system, you will be admitted. But as mentioned, you are at risk of being reported for failing to meet the RO. Even if you are reported, you will still be let into the...

    Residency obligations while not residing in Canada and renewing PR card

    It may make more sense to apply for a multiple entry PRTD instead of a new PR card, provided you are planning on staying abroad and your wife will only be visiting Canada on occasion. Otherwise, as discussed in the posts above, there is a chance your wife might have to make two trips to Canada...

    Renewing PR Card - Canada frequent visits prior final landing

    To clarify, you need to list the trips that you have taken from Canada, not to Canada. Because you have been a PR since you did your initial landing, the Canadian government assumes that you reside in Canada. So list absences from Canada, not trips to Canada. Also, there is no such things as a...

    Expired PR - Re entering Canada with another citizenship/passport - odd scenario

    If you PR card has expired and you don't meet the RO, you have two options to try and maintain your status and travel to Canada: Travel to the US, cross into Canada in a private vehicle. Hope that you are not reported for breaching the RO at the border. If you are not, stay in Canada until you...
