Hi Everyone,
I was looking for some answers, people might have experienced or witnessed some cases which might help me in making decisions.
I have PR of Australia and Canada both. Lived in Australia for 4-5 months and later on moved to Canada.
When I applied for Canada PR, I was having PR of Australia. As far as I remember, in PR application of Canada, they didn't ask if you have PR of any other country.
- Is my memory right?
I just completed my 1095 days of physical presence in Canada. Landed on 15 October 2015 as a PR with my Spouse.
Absence from Canada: 2 months to India and 4 days to the US (in 2017 & 2016)
I am working full time since landing here. My spouse initially worked full time for a few months and then as a Self Employed for the past 2 years and again full time for the past 8 months.
Last year our son was born here and so he is a Canadian Citizen.
We are planning to send individual applications for my spouse and myself as I would be leaving for Australia after the application and my spouse would stay here as I intend to get back in a year or so. That's why I think it will be better if we have separate applications.
I can come back to attend the Test/Interview and Oath Ceremony.
My Canada PR Card is valid till December 2020.
My another question is - As I would be outside of Canada during Citizenship application processing, How they will count my physical presence days? As the application can take a few months to a year, will my previous 1095 days of presence be still valid? They say the presence of 3 years out of the past 5 years.
So I believe, presence criteria will still be valid if they are taking past 5 years even before I was granted PR.
Past 5 years will be like Dec 2013-Dec 2018(application still valid)
I can prove my presence in Canada as -
- I worked full time.
- Son was born here.
- Rental lease of at least 2.5 years on my name only but my spouse's name mentioned on that.
- Utility bills on my name.
- Tax returns, Self Employed returns
- Passport entry/exit stamps. Though there are only 2 trips out of Canada.
- Bank Statements
What else do you think can be shown as physical presence proof?
I know I can get RQ which can delay the application, even in that case, say the application get delayed by a few more months and it goes to April/May 2020. Will my application still be valid from physical presence perspective as I was in Canada from 2015 to 2018 only? Taking past 5 years from April/May 2020.
Do you guys see any other issue?
