    Offered job in Canada. PR Card expired, RO not met. Planning to enter via US border.

    So they decided to go back and apply for voluntary renunciation of PR status. They plan to file for PR again as they both easily qualify under Federal Skilled Category.

    PR renewal declined due to RO

    Unfortunately, this sounds like that's it. The chances of them being able to get their PR card looks slim. The fact that they were invited for the an interview for "Card Pick Up" is a standard process. In that process the applicant is questioned about their RO, which they did not meet at the...

    Offered job in Canada. PR Card expired, RO not met. Planning to enter via US border.

    Had this happen to someone from our community this last week. They were reported at the Niagara border and found to be not meeting RO. So they either let you voluntarily give up PR or they revoke it. It does not happen immediately though. However, once your PR is relinquished, you can apply...

    Hello. Has anyone who has recently applied for citizenship been able to use their Canadian Language Benchmark Placement Test results for application. Their website doesn't list this test but has "Other" section. Just wanted to get some clarification. Thanks

    Citizenship application - Online vs Paper

    Hello folks So I am finally at the step where we want to apply for my wife's citizenship. I have seen mixed reviews about sending application via mail vs online method. Basically what I have been told is that online applications take horribly longer than paper applications at the moment. What...

    PR scheduled to expire in Oct 2023. RO not met at expiry. Renewal Options?

    Yes, it doesn't matter. All that matters is you land here and get your life settled before your PR card expires. Then wait until you're here for 730 days in past 5 years from the day you apply for PR card renewal. Understanding when to apply for PR renewal is the key. You do not need a valid PR...

    PR scheduled to expire in Oct 2023. RO not met at expiry. Renewal Options?

    You totally can do this. I was in a similar situation now a Citizen. Just wait until you have 730 days before you apply for PR card renewal. Also something very important to note is that if you don't have a drivers license, health card, etc already, get them before your card expires under all...

    How can PR be renewed if residency is not maintained ?

    Hey Deep It may be possible for kids under 18 through means of PRTD but very difficult for adults to do this in a feasible way. You need a PR card for almost everything once you're trying to settle here to prove your status.

    Pr card renewal

    Would have been a breeze if you would have just waited those extra 40 days, met the 730 day rule and then applied. You complicated your application over a month's worth of wait.

    Visitor Visa or Super Visa???

    How long do you intend for them to stay in Canada? 6 months or less, go for visitor. More than that upto 2 years max, go for Super visa. Paperwork isn't very different. Super visa kinda is nice considering it is 2 years of stay in 1 go.

    Travelling to India with Indian and Canadian passport

    Correct. Traveling to India would be on false terms too in a way because we cease to be Indian citizens once we take up another citizenship. Surrender process is just to get a certificate for it. I wouldn’t risk any pain dealing with Indian immigration tbh.

    Travelling to India with Indian and Canadian passport

    In today’s uncertain times. Not worth it tbh. I ended up delaying my oath even back then because i have heard horror stories about how troubling it is to come back to Canada later. But I would play safest bet while traveling during covid.
