Discrepancies in residency obligations

If the PR card applicant does not appear to meet the residency requirement (e.g.,following an examination of the passport and travel history, input from the visa office, etc.) and insufficient H&C grounds are identified to overcome this shortfall, the officer writes a report under A44(1). The report goes to a Minister’s delegate, who may issue a removal order under A44(2). If the PR card applicant is inadmissible on grounds other than residency, the case will be assessed by the Minister’s delegate and referred to the Immigration Division. During this time, the applicant is still entitled to a one-year card, where there is no final disposition on the case whether it is at the report stage, the admissibility hearing stage or the removal stage. Similarly, if the PR card applicant is the subject of a negative determination under A46(1)(b), where there is no final disposition, the client is also entitled to a one-year card.

Pending or unresolved A27/A44 reports

The CPC-PRC contacts the CIC where the report originated. If there is no response after seven days and the report is over five years old, the application is processed and a five year card is issued. If there is no response and the report is less than five years old, a one-year card is issued.

R56(2) states clearly that a PR card application must be made in Canada.[...]The CPC may refer a case to a local CIC if all or part of the application originated from outside Canada, and if there are questions as to the client’s identity, status or residency history, or the authenticity of the documentation. Clients must report in person to pick up their card in Canada, in accordance with R58(3).

Citizenship and Immigration Canada will accept new applications to sponsor parents and grandparents starting January 2, 2015. Applications received before January 2, 2015 will not be accepted and will be returned to the applicant. 5000 complete applications will be accepted for 2015.

If you are applying in 2015, you must provide proof of income from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for the taxation years of 2013, 2012, 2011.

Special procedure for the family class

The application for permanent residence for members of this class no longer gives applicants a choice as to which office will process their applications. CPC-Mississauga, which receives the applications, will make this determination pursuant to R11 and will forward the file to the appropriate visa office. The option of selecting the office where the sponsor wanted the application to be processed has been deleted from the "application for sponsorship and undertaking."

You must provide all of these documents in your possession. If any of these documents are no longer in your possession, please explain why.
