When filling the form for my adopted child who is declared under "accompanied family member" for our family sponsorship application, should additional family be filled as indicated? the adoptive parents to be parents or the child's biological parents?
Thank you

Hello everyone,

In planning my travels for the end of the year, I checked all my paperwork to start getting things in order and noticed that the expiration date on my PR card is 09 Oct 2023 but my online profile is 19 April 2019 (less than one year after date of issue).

Does this mean that I have to update my PR card before travelling? Or is that date on the card sufficient?

Since the issue of my PR in 2018 I have only left the country for one month.

Thank you in advance

We have received some information from one of our legal researchers; and apologize for the delay. We hope you find their information useful:

Each province operates their own unique Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) which is designed by the province to help meet their economic and demographic needs. Typically, as a permanent resident of Canada, you do not have to inform any authority on your intent to move out of the Province. However, this may be different for a permanent resident who obtained their residency through the PNP.
The mobility rights of an individual under the PNP program is subject to certain regulations (under section 6(3)(a) and (b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms) which creates several limits to mobility. This mandates that immigrants who obtained PR under the PNP should remain in the province which they applied for about two years to show their intention.
This does not mean that a PNP applicant can not leave the Province. There are certain things that you can do before deciding to leave that will still show you had or have an intention to stay in Saskatchewan. This can include, but not limited to, 1. Actively looking for jobs within Saskatchewan, 2. Properly documenting your job hunt (include proof of your job applications), and 3. Exhaust all means of finding employment in Saskatchewan. From your situation, it appears that you have actively searched for a job even during the period of time you were working with another employer. It would be best if you could compile all your job applications during this time for proof.
In the situation in which you do not get a job offer, or you are offered a job out of province that is for a higher position, then your move out of the Province may be legally justified. In your case, with proper documentation, you may be able to work in Ontario without any adverse consequences on renewing your PR card and obtaining Citizenship.
It is highly recommended for you to contact the Saskatchewan Immigration Services directly for some confirmation on this matter as this may be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Please keep in mind this is only legal information, it is not legal advice. If you want or need legal advice you will need to contact a reputable lawyer or the nearest Community Legal Clinic regarding your situation.

To meet these residency obligations, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period. The 5-year period is assessed on a rolling basis. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will look back at your time in Canada over the previous 5 years.

This means that you can spend a total of up to 3 years outside of Canada during a 5-year period.

If you’re applying for permanent residence, you need to give your fingerprints and photo (biometrics).
If you’re applying, or have an application in progress for temporary residence, you’re temporarily exempt from giving biometrics.

You can answer some questions to find out if you need to give biometrics.

Hi
Having business meetings outside Canada, I applied for urgent PR renewal supported by documents, tickets, hotel bookings, etc. I applied on 17/11/2021, received a confirmation receipt email on 23/11/2021 and the online status turned to DECISION MADE on 12/12/2021.
Since then, no news at all, no card mailed, no invitation to collect it personally, or even no request of any additional information !
Landed on May 2016 for 2 weeks and left Canada. Since my return on August 2018 to end of 2021, I have stayed 740 days but not continuous, and in the beginning it was short periods due to my frequent business travels. I contacted a lawyer to ask what could be the reason on this delay, and he said maybe the officer is not satisfied of my file profile due to frequent travels, or because I barely completed the period required !
Could this be a valid reason for delay ? or a reason to refuse my file ? Please advise.

• you are replacing your red and white health card
  
• your photo is 10 years or older
  
• you are turning 16 years old
  
• you are renewing in-person
  
• you are making a change to your name
  
• you received a notice in the mail from ServiceOntario to a Service Ontario location.

• Be a Permanent Resident (PR)
  
• Have lived in Canada as a PR for at least 1,095 days out of the 5 years before you apply

I'm understanding the software issues still in the green photo heath card renewal facility online. Since i dont drive..i will have to spend money to take a taxi to where the service place is..What are ID requirements to renew if i dont drive? I need to be told beforehand......i have an ontario photo id card.. so I'm now days past my mailed to me renewal window ... already I spent 3.5 hours on hold ..then i was automatically disconnected. ..simply 'thank you for calling goodbye' i'm partially disabled and very immunocompromised can you tell me how to book an appointment for the service ontario place?

If you cannot visit a ServiceOntario centre for a medical reason, you must have a physician or nurse practitioner fill out a Health Card Medical Exemption Request form.

The purpose of this post is to clarify and establish my rights as a tenant faced with a somewhat distressing and troubling current situation.
I'll try be be clear in describing the particulars.

On New Years eve a fire broke out at a structure neighbouring my rental unit. The fire was located in a commercial business (shop).
The same landlord owns this establishment as well as the building where my apartment is located.
The source of the fire was proven to be an electrical fault In the business itself.

Fortunately I was at home at the time noticed the smoke and promptly called 911. The FD arrived, at that point smoke was thick but few flames.
However my apartment living room was next to the source but separated by a brick firewall. Still the Firefighters entered my apartment to check the extent of any fire, just a great deal of smoke. A front window in my apartment was smashed out to evacuate smoke with the firefighters proceeding to pull down ceiling and wall drywall in the living room area to check for any flame spread, there was none. In this process various items were damaged some seriously which i shall have to replace.
Needless to say I was required to find accommodation at a friends house that night and have been out of my apartment since staying with friends.
I did not have tenants insurance so the burden is mine to date.

The insurers were soon called in with their recommendation was for a complete restoration of the interior surfaces which required me to hire, move, and store monthly the contents of the apartment. There was also severe damage to the flat roof above my unit partially due to FD access.
No hose water entered the unit. So a thorough renovation process wasiniticated to strip all ceiling and wall drywall and some wood flooring.
Regardless I have been made essentially 'homeless' staying at acquaintances with few personal items and clothing.
I am currently preparing to move again to a temporary accommodation till restoration work is complete.
With this being an Ontario winter the question is when to replace the compromised roof and front window. I have yet to see any scope of work or timeline schedule.

What are my rights if any as a tenant and is there any compensation for my out of apartment stay or damages?
As I see it, an accidental fire in an adjoining building (same landlord) has forced me out due to extreme smoke damage.
Restoration work has commenced but due to the need to replace a roof structure in winter will require my absence.
To date I have paid for moving and monthly storage as well as temporary rental until allowed back.
