Hi

Thanks for the information.

As I know, the residency requirement was in forced in 2002. I was so curious to find out how they treat those landed immigrants who landed and left before 2002 because those land immigrants would not be able to live 2 years in 5 years.

I know this is not a legal counselling services. However, can I share a bit more information with you so that you can help and point me to the direction?

She landed and left Canada before the residency requirement was in force in 2002. Back in the 2002 she would not be able to fulfill the 2 years in every 5 year period. Plus her mother who lived in the home country at that time was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2003 and passed away in 2006. She thought she lost her status that's why she didn't look into that.

She had been living with her brother(who is a Canadian citizen since 1998) and his family in home country in the past 20 years until her brother and family immigrated and moved to Toronto in 2017. This is the reason why she is thinking about moving back to Canada.

It is a bit frustrated as all she needs is coming back to fulfill the residency requirement but looks like CIC is not allowing that.



One more question about the second option you mentioned. She has no problem coming in the Canada via her current country's passport. But how can she proved that she live 2 years in Canada since she does not have any legal document to set up anything. For example, she will need the legal document to re-active the SIN number?

Totally understand I am asking for help on a weird situation. Any information is helpful.
Thank you so much

1. Prior to 2002 (really immaterial as the 2/5 for residency obligation is the law now) it was no more that 6 months outside Canada in anyone year, with the attention to abandon Canada.
2. Note, she can't come directly to Canada by air, she would not be eligible for an ETA, as when she applied, it would show that she was PR. Yes it would be extremely difficult for her to set up anything in those 2 years without proof of residency.

Hi!

My family and I are permanent residents having the time required to become citizens. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit while I was in the process of compiling our papers, I was hoping someone can help with the following questions:

- My wife has started university this year and has not completed studies yet. Would proof of ongoing studies be sufficient or must she complete?
- In the event where a married couple applies ( together with their children) - do both parents need to provide sufficient English skills, or is sufficient for just one of them? (As I have credentials)
- My wife has enrolled for Celpip test but as of the moment it is cancelled until further notice. Is there an online option to be tested for credentials?

Kind regards,

Hi there, I need some help.

I landed in 2016 and the PR card is expiring in Jul 2021. However, I have only stayed in Canada for around 1 month since 2016 as I have to move back to Asia to take care of my family. I do work for the same Canadian Insurance in Asia for more than 10 years since mid-2000. I own a house in GTA and leased it out since mid-2018. Could I still renew my PR card next year?

Regards,

Goodboy

Hello. I am a U.S. Citizen who applied for Canadian Citizenship in July, 2019, but was denied because I did not meet the 1,095 days of physical presence requirement (I was not aware I needed Temporary Resident status to claim ½ days I was resident prior to becoming a Permanent Resident). I have since accrued enough time to meet the 1,095 days physical presence requirement and would like to reapply, but am confused about fees. In the letter I received, it states "If you choose to reapply, you must submit a new application form with a new Physical Presence Calculator printout along with the required fees, photos and supporting documents." But it doesn't state what the fees are and later it also states, "If you choose not to reapply, and would like to request a refund, please see the following website for further information...."
Does anyone know the proper fees to submit for a reapplication for Canadian Citizenship? It seems like it would not be the full $630 because it seems possible to request a refund and apply from scratch, which would certainly be result in less. Any help or guidance would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I made my first entry in September 2019 under spousal sponsorship category, obtained my PR card, opened a bank account and left Canada the following month as I am working abroad. I plan to move permanently to Canada later this year. I want to know if the settlement funds I will be bringing along with me will be taxed.

Hello,

My wife and I lived in Canada as Permanent residents back in 2010 for 1 1/2 years. My eldest son was born in Canada. We returned to our country due to personal family situations. We had a second child which is not canadian. We now intend to return to Canada. Would it be possible to count time off canada taking care of our son towards keeping PR staus? If so, shall we need to apply to PR just for my youngest son? Can we apply again for permanet residence?

Thanks for tour help

Hello,

I submitted my PR card application and UPS confirmed its delivered to the case processing center on 1 June 2020. I have been checking the online application processing status on IRCC's website but until today my application is not showing up. Is this normal given that it is almost a month and a half since delivery date?


Thank you.

Hello there,



I writing to you today to enquire about PR rules and extended period of time outside Canada after receiving my PR and landing in Canada.

My situation is that after I obtained my PR, I was accepted for a Phd role in Czech republic with full scholarship. The duration is 4 years, however I can stay 2 or 3 years in Czech republic and then continue the Phd online and travel once or twice a year for meetings (short visits).

Therefore, I wanted to ask if this scenario would violate or harm my PR conditions set by the IRCC. Also, should/how I contact IRCC to brief them about this situation?

I would appreciate if you could give me credible and detailed information regarding my case as I'm a new immigrant and don't want to miss an opportunity that can help me be a better and more productive resident/citizen in Canada.

Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Stay safe.

Kind regards,
Ahmed

Hi everyone, i just want to ask about our pr card bec.we arrive here in Vancouver on March 19,2020 and they tell that after we landed here in canada we just wait for 90days to be mail it to us but it is already 122 days since we arrived.

Hi This is Dipankar.
i) I request clarification regarding stay outside Canada with a PR Card.My PR Card expires on 2nd March'2022.Is it possible to enter Canada any time before that date even if the residential obligation of 730 days is not met? Kindly confirm as one gets contradictory or conflicting interpretations.

II) In view of the Corona Virus situation, has there been any change in the residential obligation stipulation?


Thanks!

Hi All, just joined this discussion forum, not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, so if I'm in the wrong place, or if there is a better thread to post this to, would you mind letting me know? Thanks.
Anyway, we had a question regarding an American married to a Canadian: Does an American married to a Canadian get any benefits or privileges before applying to be sponsored by their spouse? meaning, in the US for example, by being married to an American, even before sponsorship, the foreign spouse can have access to some benefits even before being sponsored (for example, access to the spouse health insurance, access to the social security benefit etc.) so we wanted to ask if that is the case in Canada too?
Do they get anything or will they get privileges only after sponsorship starts? (Right now the American spouse is still in visitor status)
Thanks for your assistance

Stay Safe

Hi, I am a newcomer to Canada on PR, I got my immigration as a single candidate and moved here recently. My CoPR mentions my dependents (Wife and 2 Daughters), I want them to join me here in Canada. Am I eligible to sponsor them? what are its requirement?

A minor girl aged 15 years (Canadian citizen by birth at London, Ontario) is being raised in India by the brother of her mother (after the divorce & subsequent death of the mother). Now if the child wants to go back to Canada, will her legal guardian's family be granted visa/ PR to accompany her? If yes, how long it takes?

Hi PMM,
thanks for the response,
yes, my wife and children are included in my application, they had their medicals as well (those medicals are expired last month), and their names are also included in my Landing Paper i.e. CoPR as my dependents. Is there any requirement for me to meet before I sponsor them like any income bracket? Lease agreement for residence? or any thing like that?

1. I assume your wife and children were included in your application as non accompanying and had their medicals. If not you have a problem.

2. If they were included and had the medicals, then you submit a sponsorship here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children.html

Friend of mine is outside Canada along with his family, there PR card expired. His request to travel Canada denied, under section 28.
They 40 days left for appeal. what should they do now?
