Hello,
I had a hearing for a residency obligation appeal, and the appeal was dismissed. However, I have fulfilled 540 days out of the required 730 days after the PR card renewal application date. A departure order was issued. Also, I am an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto and I just completed my second year of study out of a program that lasts 4 years in addition to the prospect of completing graduate studies in Canada, i.e. another 4 years. I have 2 inquiries:
1) What action is recommended and what kind of legal advice should I seek? Is there a chance I can file a removal order appeal with the Immigration Appeal Division, and what might be the outcomes, for example if I would be obliged to stay in Canada under certain conditions to fulfill my residency obligation and retain my status as a permanent resident?
2) If the removal order is executed and I leave Canada then apply for a study permit and a temporary resident visa to re enter Canada pursuing my postsecondary studies, what are the regulations to gain permanent resident status again, and if possible would the CIC consider my 540 days in addition to the remaining days fulfilling the residency requirement?. Would it be a feasible option if I re-apply for a permanent resident card after completing the 730 days?
Thank you so much.
