Dear seniors,

I got my driving license from the country of my residence almost 9 months ago ( less than 12 months). I am planning to do a short landing for almost 2-3 months.

1) Please guide me , in my case how do I have to apply and under which category ? G1 or G2 ? What is the procedure for my case ?

2) For my current driving license do I need to issue a letter from the ministry of road and transport ? As I said, I have a driving license of less than 12 months , so will it help ?

3) Some ppl are saying that if I am planning to do a short landing that is for 2-3 months , then it is not a good idea to apply for a driving license .. Is it so ?

While you apply and wait for the PR for your spouse, you can also apply for a TRV (Visitor Visa) in the interim.
Thanks alok4best.

Any idea if visit visa applications of such cases r entertained?

I am planning a short landing for PR. Just wanted to know do my one time entry visa has to be valid at the time of departure if i depart without PR card? There is no issue leaving Canada with an expired visa? I am asking this because I will be transiting through UK and they demand that I can transit as long as I have a valid Canadian Visa.

I used an attorney so recall them saying that the PR card will last 5 years and within these 5 years I had to complete a three year period of stay within Canada in order to then be able to claim for nationality or I'd have to renew the PR card.

Yes. You could apply for a TRV. However it is not guaranteed. You could get it, or could not. It depends.

Add three years from the date of first entry

27-Dec-13 + 3 years = 26-Dec-16

Add 3 months approx ..Thus

26-Dec-16 + 3 months = 26-March-17

Minus two days to make it 88 days

Thus it it comes to 24 March 2017 is the max day you should land in Canada.


Reach 1 week earlier at least... Ideally reach by 26-March-2017 so that you may have 88 days buffer & may leave country for short duration in case of emergency.
