Dear all,
I have a major dilemma and I am aware of the repetition of the stories being discussed on these forums. I tried to search for other blog threads that would highlight my exact similar case, but did not succeed. Thus, your help and patience is really appreciated.
My story is not complicated in explaining the details behind it...nonetheless, it is to find solutions and alternatives.
My Uncle received her PR back in 2005 and did not set his foot in any Canadian soil since then, due to certain impediments he faces in his origin country with family and work related issues. Now his PR is about to expire in July 2010 and he has intentions to keep his PR alive, hoping he would start a new life for him after all these years.
Granted he does not meet the 730 days, what can be said to any IO upon arrival at an airport. Is there a way they can prove his date of departure out of Canada? (note that he just received a new passports with no stamps from his country). Is it safe to explain that he has been in Canada all this time and just went back to get his new passport? If so, what will he need to prove, or what questions will they ask to find the authenticity of his story? Plus, he has no proof to show his days spent in Canada (i.e. active bank account, driver's licence, property and/or rental tenancy/occupancy).
If anyone can shed some light on this case, I would be very thankful.
