Hi,

I would like to inquire about the conditions to renew the permanent residency card.

One of the documents listed as a proof of residency in the last 5 years is Other Income Tax assessments issued by Canada Revenue Agency within the past five (5) years.

What if the person wasn't working during his stay (so he didn't have to pay income taxes) what can he submit in that case?

Is paying income taxes one of the requirements to renew the permanent residency status or is it only physical presence?

It is best if you contact the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre directly to explain your situation and to find out what your options may be in your case.

They may suggest that you include a letter explaining your situation and stating why you cannot provide what they are requesting with your application. However, it is best that you confirm how to proceed by calling the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
