Hello,
I was recently advised by two immigration consultants that I can apply for PR renewal without meeting Residency Obligation in January 2025 with 100 days left towards meeting Residency Obligation. The immigration consultants were part of ICCRC (The regulatory body of immigrant consultants). Is this true or a valid advice?
Context follows -
I landed in Calgary as a PR in July 2019. Soon after that, August 2019, I got into a Master's program in the US and I moved to the US. Since then, I was frequently travelling between US and Canada from Aug 2019 - March 2020 (until Covid hit).
After completing my degree in April 2021, I secured a job in the US and stayed back and started making trips to Canada once the restrictions were relaxed. I finally relocated to Canada in July 2023 through a job transfer with the same company.
I have a full-time job in Calgary, have recently purchased a property in Calgary, submitted for my spousal sponsorship, have been living here since Aug 2023.
My PR card expired in September 2024. As per the CIC presence calculator, I will complete the 730 days on May 10, 2025. I do not plan to travel outside Canada between now till then.
