Topic: Permanent Residency - Not Met Requirements

Ande@metcalfe

I have "Landed immigrant Status" (IM1000) since Aug 1973.

I had a Permanent resident Card issued but have lost it.

When entering Canada, if asked, & I never was I carried my Pink IM 1000 form in my passport.

I entered Canada 20 Sept 2016 in the usual way.

My UK passport was checked & i was allowed entry.

I have a SIN # an OHIP Card, an Ontario Drivers Licience, a TD Bank Account & a permanent address.

I cannot meet the Residency requirement of 2yrs in the last 5yrs.

I am retired living on Indepenent Means.

I have relations in Canada who are Canadian Citizens.

I can do all that I want to do in your country except get back into Canada if I leave .

I may not be allowed to board an Canadian Bound Flight.

I wish to attend a friends wedding in Valletta Malta, As there are no Direct Flights Canada/Malta, my fear is I could be trapped in a foreign airport as I would not be allowed to Board a Canada Bound Flight.

Am I a prisoner in Canada until I meet the Residency Requirment?
Yours faithfully
