"7.8 Examining Permanent Residents at a POE (Port of Entry)

When a permanent resident appears at a POE for examination, the officer must confirm that the person is a permanent resident. Officers must remain cognizant of the fact the Act gives permanent residents of Canada the right to enter Canada at a port of entry once it is established that a person is a Permanent Resident, regardless of non-compliance with the residency obligation in A28 or the presence of other grounds of inadmissability.

Port of entry officers (POE) can refuse entry to a Permanent Resident only when the person has already lost the status in accordance with the provisions of A46 (such as when a final determination has been made that they have failed to comply with the residency obligations or when a removal order comes into force).

In other words, once a permanent resident's status is established, the person may enter Canada by right and the immigration examination under IRPA concludes.

If an officer has concerns that a permanent resident has not complied with the residency obligation of A28, the officer should advise the permanent resident when the examination is concluded that they are authorized to enter Canada; however, the permanent resident may wish to answer additional questions so the officer may determine whether their concerns are well founded or not.

In cases where:
- permanent resident status is established;
- the permanent resident refuses to provide any further information and enters Canada;
and
- the officer believes, on a balance of probabilities that the person is in non-compliance with the residency obligation,

officers may report the person, pursuant to A44(1). if there is sufficient evidence to support an inadmissibility allegation. In the absence of sufficient evidence to support the writing of an inadmissibility report, officers may enter any available information into FOSS (date of entry, last country of embarkation, current address in Canada etc.).

Hi

I m a person on disability, and I have sponsored my husband before, but due to my bipolar, I did some things I can not take back. Because of my actions, my kids and I suffered. My kids needed their father, as I needed my husband. I didn't know I could sponsor him on disability., I just found that out a few days ago. Before, iv asked a couple who told me I couldn't if I was on disability. There is finally hope. But what are the rules around being sponsored once and cancelling?

• 1) Work directly with a provincially accredited adoption practitioner;
• 2) Work directly with an adoption agency that is licensed to facilitate adoptions in the country where you are seeking to adopt the child from;
• 3) Complete an adoption homestudy assessment conducted by a provincially-approved adoption practitioner involving a mandatory parent training program, Parent Resources for Information Development and Education (PRIDE);
• 4) Obtain approval from the Ministry confirming your preliminary eligibility to adopt based on your adoption homestudy; and
• 5) Obtain final approval from the Ministry once the adoption in the child’s home country has been completed.

• “Whether the adoption completely severs the adopted child’s former legal ties with their biological parents and creates a new legal parent-child relationship;
• The authenticity of the parent-child relationship, the establishment of which is the primary purpose of an adoption (an adoption must not be a means for the child to gain admission to Canada); and
• Whether the adoption is in accordance with the laws of the place where the adoption took place and the laws of the place of residence of the adoptive parents.”
