As a student abroad I don't meet the obligation residency

[lilith]

Hi everyone!
I need to now about how much I risk if I don't meet the residency obligation (the 730 days on 5 years).
I learned a lot about this forum and I understand that the easy way to renewing my PR is to start the application only when I have the 730 days presence in the past 5 years .
I'm in Canada for the moment bud I am a student abroad and unfortunately I'm not done yet (the reason why I can't wait 730 days). I was a student at the time I became a PR in Canada and I was recommended from the officer who interview me to continue my studies and then move to Canada. Now after years my PR is going to expire soon and I understand that I do have a problem. My question is: Is my situation justifiable if I make my application without heaving those days ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi Lilith

I have the exact same problem. I haven't found a definite answer yet. Only thing I know is what I was told by an immigration officer at the airport: that once you come back to Canada and they announce the loss of permanent residency due to lack of stay in Canada, you can appeal the decision. If the judge at the appeal court find the studying abroad argument convincing enough, your PR status would be extended for another 5 years. If you found out anything about our situation please let me know!

Good luck

If your parents are Canadian citizen and you live with them abroad, you can still maintain your PR status.

No. You will likely lose your PR if you apply with less than 730 days.

Only if you are dependent minor.

I am also in a exact same situation. I'll be applying for a travel document next year. Assuming they will cancel my PR status for overstaying(8 months after the allowed 3 year time), I will reapply for permanent residence as a dependent on my mother(being a full time student for three more years).

Are you done with school? Is your school in the US?
