moving to Sweden

[shiler]

Hello, I am wondering if someone was sponsored to come into Canada as a permanent residence under a refugee status, has not completed a year being here in Canada, and is wanting to move to Sweden to be with her husband, he is not a citizen but considered a permanent residence of Sweden,
1: how can she go about with doing this, does she have to do anything on her side regards to going or does he do the work on his side.
2: does she loose her status here once she decides to go.
3: are there any penalties to her leaving here and going, What are her risks?
4: what can she do here on her side
5: what are her options?
Thank you, all answers are appriciated

Not an expert but you should NOT use your passport from your home country who you have claimed protection from, you should not even renew that passport. You should also not travel there. I guess if you are already a permanent resident, to keep it, you must PHYSICALLY stay in Canada for 2 years out of 5 years. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=727&top=4

1. You need to determine the processes for Swedish immigration and whether you are eligible. They do not have anything to do with Canadian immigration.
2. PR is valid for the length of the issued PR visa. You are considered a PR of Canada up until that visa expires. You would not automatically lose PR just from going to another country. However, if you do not fulfill the residency requirements of your PR visa, then you would be ineligible to renew that PR when it is due to expire.
3. Risk is losing your Canadian PR by not fulfilling residency requirements.
4. Again, that is entirely based on Swedish immigration regulations.
5. Your options are to determine if you want to move to Sweden and are eligible to do so, or to remain in Canada and fulfill your residency requirement to maintain PR.

1. If you are leaving permanently before your status is assessed, you would need to withdraw your refugee claim. You can find instructions here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/refugee-protection/canada/processing-claims-refugee-protection-withdrawals-suspensions.html. The husband would likely have to do most of the work. If you have status or your PR, you would need to maintain residency obligation if your plan was to return to Canada at any point. As mentioned, if you do try to retain your PR, don’t use or renew your home country passport.
2. Once you withdraw your claim, you will no longer have status in Canada and will need to leave within a reasonable time (probably 30 days).
3. She would probably not be allowed to return to Canada on any sort of temporary residence visa (TRV, student, business, work permit, etc). The chance of a visa is most likely nil. Immigration would still be possible should you decide that later on.
4. Probably not much.
5. If you have yet to receive refugee status in Canada, there isn’t much you can do. You can’t apply for a RTD until your claim is accepted. Personally, I would wait until everything is in order and processed in Sweden before you make any contact with IRCC to withdraw. Once you withdraw, you would need to leave, probably back to your home country. I doubt you want that. Once the husband get the application approved, you could contact IRCC and arrange for you departure.
