Dear friends

I'm permanent resident of Canada since 2009 and I have just renewed my P.R card . last year I returned back to my country to resume my work in the foreign service's of my country . last week my headquarter decided to appointed me as a diplomat in my country's Embassy to Canada in Ottawa . my questions are as follow :
1- do I need to abandon my status as a permanent resident in order to have immunity and privileges entitled to diplomats by international conventions .
2- is there any way to maintain both status I mean permanent resident and diplomat in the same time .
3-what about my family members who have permanent resident status and live and study now in Canada .

looking forward to hear your comments on this situation

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. They will get dip status as your dependents, so they will have to give up their PR status as well. http://tinyurl.com/zzxmj7n

Hello there! I'm in a situation that resembles your preview circunstancies. I work for my govmt ministry of foreign affairs and I'm about to get an unpaid leave so that I can accompany my wife, who's applying to get Canada's PR.

Did you have any problem with the Canadians when trying to get your PR due to the fact that you were a diplomat? I heard of a situation where people from my country had to resign so as to be granted the PR by the IRCC.

Thanx in advance!
