Hi
My parents are retired and my dad is keen on living back in his country, but he doesn't want to go back and forth to Canada too often. We still want my dad to keep his pension from Quebec and Canada, and we're worried that he'll lose the pension if he officially tell the government that he's living outside Canada, without any legal status to Canada. We've been thinking of making my mom a citizen, so my dad wouldn't lose his PR, such as stated in this rule:
A Permanent Resident must be physically present in Canada for at least 2 years in that five (5) year period or if outside of Canada :
accompanying a Canadian citizen, who is his or her spouse or common-law partner or a child accompanying a parent.
I want to ask if this is a good approach, so this way my dad won't lose the PR. We were also wondering if my dad can re apply for PR in future (if he loses it) through my mom's spouse sponsor.
Does anyone have experience in this?
