Can anyone please help me understand the rules after obtaining a PR & NOT living in Canada:
1. After receiving PR Card: Does the applicant have to live in Canada for a min of 24 months within next 60 months?
2. If applicant does NOT live in Canada for this 24 month duration or lives for lesser, does it mean PR is cancelled?
3. Are there any effective methods to keep the PR active even w/o living & working for any employer in Canada?
Please note that this is vital for any applicants working in US on h1b visa.
4. In case, CIC cancels the PR of the applicant for any reason (not living/working there etc), does the applicant get an option to renew it without the whole stepbystep quota process?
Thanks all !
A permanent resident has to live in canafda for 2 years within the last 5 years.
We did not so we were not meeting the residency requirements any more.
Wwe had no reasons like sick parents to try to get our status back and renew our pr cards
Thats why we had to apply for a travel documrnt
Our visa office did not issue one because we did not fullfill the residency requirements.
We did no appeal their decision within 2 month.
We are no longer permanent residents now and had to apply like everybody else
Doesnt matter that we lived in canada gor a long time and had a son born in calgary
