Hello,
This question has probably already been discussed here, but I ll bring a new perspective.
My PR card expires in August 2017, so I ll be eligible to apply for a new one in coming December. I have a trip planned for February 2017 and may travel with the current one as I understand.
I have been traveled extensively past 4 years and resided 1200 days in Canada in total which is enough for PR. However, I did not work in Canada and only had income from stipend for studying in Montreal, Quebec. I did file taxes for each year. My passport stamps come from all over the world including from UEA, Europe, South America, Southeast Asia, India, etc.
I would like to ask for an expert opinion if lack of income, no employment (but studying with all diplomas) and this travel pattern would trigger a secondary review for PR renewal in your view? I am of russian nationality.
Further, if I do receive a RQ and would prove my residency for PR renewal, does it mean that when I apply for citizenship in the end of 2017, I will not need to repeat this same process all over again and will not receive RQ for second time?
If this is the case, I would actually pray TO GET RQ NOW as I apply for PR renewal and save a year of waiting for citizenship processing later since it will exempt me from RQ at a later time. Essencially, it would be equivalent of applying for citizenship now given that I wouldnt avoid RQ anyway. Follow me?
Thanks a lot for your input.
