The PR Residency Obligation is 2 out of 5 years.

If you are a Canadian citizen and reside with him outside of Canada, those days will count towards his days in Canada and he will continue to meet the RO.

If you are not residing with him or if you are residing with him but are a PR, he will fail to meet the RO after 3 years outside of Canada. This doesn't result in autmatic loss of PR status but does put status at risk if trying to return to Canada.

I do not want to reside with him, he was not loyal to his wife, child and Canada.
I was told he can not stay longer than 4months cuz the spouse sponship is conditional to live together for 2 years. So his PR card will get cancelled, as he follow the rule.

If he has Condition 51, you can report him to IRCC. However, there is no guarantee that his PR status will be revoked, nor will IRCC share such information with you.

The PR card is not the same as PR status. If he is subject to Condition 51, and you report it, then he might eventually lose his PR status, but you cannot be sure of this. If he is living outside Canada for over three years (unless accompanied by a citizen spouse), then he will be in breach of the residency obligation.

If you refuse to live with him, then you can flag to IRCC in two different ways: (1) you can alert them to his breach of condition 51. (2) You can alert them when he has been out of Canada for over 3 years. They may or may not take action (the 3 year absence is more likely to result in his losing status), and they won't share their decision with you.

PR cards usually take 6-8 weeks after initial landing to be mailed to a Canadian address just have to be patient.

hello, I have a very sad situation actually. My husband did his landing on Feb 02 / 2018 and even though we changed our home address 1 year ago and immigration confirm they have changed and updated our address they did the mistake to send my husband is PR CARD to our old home which we had a problem with because they neighbours that live there really hate us and because of that we moved out. Now, we spoke with immigration and ask them why they made such a big mistake when during my husband is landing day we reconfirm and they did had the right address why did they send it to our old home...they just said someone made an error. Anyways, they mailed out on March 13, 2018 to our old home and we contacted the landlord and current tenants for our mail but they said they didn't received it at all...we already knew they would say this because they really hate my husband and most likely they threw our mail in the garbage and immigration said the mail never return to them. We only it was mailed but the neighbours won't tell us the truth...it is a very sad truth. The worse part is my husband and booked a vacation to mexico cancun paid $4,000 which will never be returned to us....so we lost our money and our dream to travel....immigration said they cant do anything about it and even though they feel sorry for us......they suggest for us to go to mexico but for my husband to apply for a travel document in his return in mexico canadian embassy ...??????? has anybody done this before?????? how long does it take to get the mail from immigration if it was sent on march 13???????? I live in Toronto and our old home also in Toronto area?????? how can i track it down??????

You can apply for a PR Travel Document once your outside of Canada.

The length of time it takes to receive completely varies, and you cannot board the return flight without. If you don't get the PRTD in time you'll have to extend the trip/move the return flight out.

We went through the same thing, the PR card went to our old address. The new tenants were nice though and kept it. They got it about 2 ish weeks after it was mailed.

I believe it is illegal to throw out someone's mail so you may want to look into that.

The other option to a PRTD would be to fly back to the USA from Mexico and cross the border in a private vehicle. You won't need a PRTD to do that so as long as you can enter the USA this might be a cheaper option than extending your trip in Mexico.

You don't apply for PR TD from the embassy, you apply from a VAC (Visa Application Centre). For Korea it's in Seoul: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/korea/english/contact_us.html

I think for this region all PR TDs are actually forwarded from the VAC and processed in Manila, so I would budget at least a few weeks for the whole process. No experience at all though with PR TDs sent from Korea.

Anyone ever apply for PRTD from Hong Kong Vac? I would like to know the approximate processing time. I just landed ytd but I need to fly back to my home country for a short trip. Just want to know if I can get prtd back in time. Appreciate any of your response.
