PR without being present in Canada

Hi guys..I have another question regarding my application. Since my husband is the one sponsoring me to Canada (he is a Canadian national), I will be going to Canada for my PR soon.

Once I go to Canada, I will have to come back to U.A.E within two weeks. I was only given one month to wrap up everything and move to Canada. So this is the reason I will have to come back and finish things back here.

So my question is...can my husband recieve my PR card for me? (He will stay in Canada, but I will come back after applying for the PR)

Or is it not allowed??

I know about the travel document and all, but I don't want to do that...so please let me know if anyone has any advice on it

Thank you soo muchhhh ;D ;D[/size]

Yes Madam, you can do that. Your husband may send the PR Card later to you by a courier or through any person before your next travel to Canada. There is no problem at all. Cheers!!

I'm a Canadian permanent resident abroad, presently living in the UK with my wife who is Canadian. I never had the opportunity to move in Canada when my visa was issued (2010), because my job unexpectedly held me in the UK (I'm a Church of England vicar). I hold a five year contract for my job here, after which we hope to move to Toronto (2015) which is the year I have to get my permanent residence card renewed. I know that if you are abroad with a parent or spouse who is a Canadian citizen, that fulfills the residency requirement for permanent residents. When my contract is up in the UK and I have to renew my permanent residence card, do you think I'll get hassled by Canadian immigration even though I will have been living with my wife here all that time? I hold an Ontario driving licence, have an address there, as well as a bank account we intend to use when we get to move. We're so looking forward to moving to Toronto but we want to make sure we are within the law. Please advise, many thanks in advance!

Hello Rev.Mastadon,

It is correct that :if you are abroad with a parent or spouse who is a Canadian citizen, that fulfills the residency requirement for permanent residents

Please read the regulation under :

OP 10 Permanent Residency Status Determination

Section 6.1. Accompanying outside of Canada


A28(2)(a)(ii) and (iv) provide that each day a permanent resident is outside of Canada
accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse, common-law partner or, in the case of a child, a parent
with whom they ordinarily reside, it is deemed a day of physical presence in Canada. Each day a
permanent resident is outside Canada, accompanying a spouse, common-law partner or, in the
case of a child, a parent who is also a permanent resident and with whom they ordinarily reside,
is also deemed a day of physical presence in Canada provided the spouse, common-law partner
or parent of the other permanent resident is employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian
business or in the public service of Canada or of a province.
