Hello

I have been outside of Canada for 8 months now, because I had divorce with my husband, we both went from Canada to the US by our car, he is a phd student in the US, and during our stay in the US i got divorced, then I went from the US to Egypt for family support, now I want to go back to Canada.I don't have anything to prove that I have been in Canada for 2 years before I leave it, all the time line information is with my ex-husband , I have my PR card, Social Number, and health insurance card.my PR card still valid tell 2014, I did not have job while being in Canada, I was depending on my ex-husband. I also have a new passport that does not have any stamps from the US or Canada, as I lost my old one.
so my question is will they still let me in to Canada?
Do you think they will provoke my PR card?
Do I need any other documents with me to re enter Canada?

thanks

You just need your passport and PR card. It is still valid and you meet the residency requirements so you have really nothing to worry about but while you still remember your travel dates, you should write them down because you will need them in 2014 when you apply to renew your card.

Hi,

My name is Dana, and I have situation like this one.
But I want to make sure it is ok to return in Canada.

I got my PR on January 15, 2011.
I was back in Romania from February 28 to June 22, 2011.

back in Canada from June 22 to August 26, 2011.

Now I want to return for good to Canada, on April 2012.
Do you think I will have any problem because I was all this time in Romania?

Thanks for your time and help.

Dana.

You will not have a problem. You are allowed to be outside Canada for up to 36 months in any 5 year period. By the time you come back in April, you will have been outside Canada for maybe 12 months total.
