Its been almost 5 months since I got AOR and I have paid all the fees in advance, also my BG check is in progress so I am hoping to get a COPR issued soon. My plan is that I will enter Canada, meet my friends and relatives and come back to India after staying there for a max of a week or two, and then write a letter to CIC requesting them to ship/courier the PR card to my relative's home in Windsor which they will courier me back to India. I might work in India for like a year or two before actually deciding whether I should move to Canada for good, or not.
But the problem is that every person living in Canada that I talk to is saying that I am deeply misinformed and that I cannot leave Canada so soon, before getting a PR card. Even if I do, there could be a telephonic inquiry and if govt finds out I have left the country and not staying with my relatives(since i gave their address for couriering the PR card), they will cancel my PR status. I have further been advised that even if I leave Canada after landing in the first week itself, I have to come back within first 3-6 months and I cannot delay my re-entry up to 1-2 years.
The reason i got from them was that the government deeply cares about making sure that immigrants in their country economically contribute to the nation so that public welfare and standard of living can increase. There are many people like me who are trying to take advantage of the express entry system in this way and hence government makes sure such people's visas and PR's get canceled through proper inquiries and rules that we wont find on the CIC's website because they are buried in the details and paperwork in the CIC's offices and immigration rule book.
Moreover, I have also been informed that every year, we need to file tax with the government if you are a PR and if I am not in the country and do not file tax, my PR status gets canceled.
Now, although all my research goes against all these scaremongering stuff, but still I really want to ask seniors in this forum if there is any merit in these arguments that people have posed. And if not, then what in your experience are the mistakes that I should avoid or loopholes that I need to take care of to ensure that my PR status stays valid for 5 years, and that I can re-enter Canada anytime in the future.
Also, are there any compelling reasons or proofs that I need to submit to CIC to take their permission to leave canada before getting PR card? Should i disclose them at the time of entering canada? or should i do it post landing?
Your contribution to this thread will be deeply appreciated and will set a benchmark to help others too. Thanks
