Returing to Canada after 2.8 years

[Rgds]

Hello All,

I landed in Canada as PR in Nov,2010 and came back after a month. I am planning to move to Canada in Oct,2013 . I do have PR card & Sin Card


Do you see any issues with immigration ?. I am still well within the residence requirement of 2 years within any five year period .Only thing is i didn't filed any tax returns in Canada which i thought i don't have to as i was not having any income in Canada niether did i completly moved over there.

Appreciate your input ,if it is going to be too difficult than i will not take the risk of leaving my current job.

Seniors please advice

Regards

Hi

They may give you a hard time at the border for being away for awhile but as you are still able to meet the residency requirement, you'll be fine.

As for filing taxes, it sounds as if you were a "non-resident for tax purposes", which means you did not have to file a tax return. Have a look here:

Nope, the embassy can do absolutely NOTHING about how you are treated at the border. It just depends on the officer you get.

They may send you to secondary and ask you lots of questions, like why you left, why you were gone so long, what you did while you were gone, why you're coming back, are you staying etc. But as I said, the officers cannot take any actual action against you.
