Hi
My mother came Canada in 2012 on PR and left after 6 months. Now she came back this month but her PR is expiring in May 2017.

Can she stay after May 2017 or she has to leave Canada.

She hasn't stayed 2 years in 5 years so I don't know she can apply for renewal.

If she don't apply for renewal, will her status after May 2017 be illegal?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

1. She can stay. She should not apply to extend her PR card until she has 2 years residing in Canada during the last 5 years, in her case January 2019

1. If she does, she risks being reported for not meeting her PR residency obligations.

Hi Kand/ Moderator,
I am in similar situation and needed your advice, you say your mother has just returned back. I would like to know if your mother had any difficulty entering into Canada as she has not stayed for 2 years even though her PR card is still valid ? Do they not check at the time of entering in the country ? Please advise. I was told earlier that if a person is having a valid PR card but has not lived in the country for 2 years or more , then they can report this person for non compliance of residency obligations at the time of entering into the country even with a valid PR card. Is this correct ?


Thanks
