Hi,

I got my CoPR approved in July 2022 and did my landing in December 2022 via road. As I am still waiting on my employer to transfer me to Canada, I came back to US immediately after doing my landing.

Here is my question:
  1. How will the 5 years for PR validity be calculated? Since July 2022 or December 2022?
  2. I have not received my PR card yet but will the validity of my PR match that on the PR card?
  3. The residency requirement is that I need to be in Canada for 730 days. I understand that it can be broken down into multiple stays. So if I stay in US for another 2 years and then move to Canada, I would still be able to meet the residency requirements for PR, right?


Thanks in advance for your help

1) December 2022 or even Jan 2023, depends when the card is issued
2) not necessary
