Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.

According to the Operational Manual ENF 23 - Loss of Permanent Resident Status,

"7.5. Accompanying a Canadian citizen outside Canada

R61(4) provides that each day a permanent resident is outside Canada accompanying (that is,ordinarily residing with) a Canadian citizen constitutes a day of physical presence in Canada,provided that the Canadian citizen they are accompanying is a spouse or common-law partner or parent. In the case of a permanent resident outside Canada accompanying a Canadian citizen, it is not necessary to determine who is accompanying whom, nor is it necessary to determine for what purpose. In other words, under A28(2)(a)(ii) and R61(4), as long as a permanent resident is accompanying a Canadian citizen, the intent and purpose of their absences are not relevant as the residency obligation is met."

So from the situation described, each day a permanent resident is accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse or common-law partner outside Canada, constitutes a day of physical presence in Canada for their permanent residence requirement. Unfortunately, it does not apply to a Canadian citizen child accompanying you.

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.

Hello Moderator,

Please help me on this. I have a valid Bridging Open Work Permit and I am waiting for my PR under CEC Express Entry. My 6th month will be on August 2019. I need to travel outside of Canada by last week of September just for 5 days. I just want to ask if in case God's willing I will be granted my PR before I travel and let's say I have not received my PR Card yet. Can I still use my Temporary Resident Visa to re-enter Canada even if PR is approved but have not received the PR card. Or they will cancel my Temporary resident Visa? I can't apply for PRTD in the country Im going because I will only be there for 5 days and it is really important.

Please help.


Thank You

Hello Anna,

Thank you for your valuable inputs and forwarding details with requisite references.

I would like to clarify one point regarding PR renewal.

In my case the PR card is expiring in November 2019 but my eligibility for renewal i.e. 02 years in last 05 years would be completed in April 2020. The question is that i should apply for PR renewal once the requisite time is completed despite the expiry of my PR card ?

Does the expiry of PR card make any issues except for outside country traveling which i am not.

Thanking You and with Best Regards.

We are a family of three, we have landed for more than four months now, we all received our cards except for my wife.. Worst thing there are no reasons or way to actually get in touch to see what is going on.. Any advice??

Hi,

I'm wondering, is it possible to apply for Canadian citizenship?

We are family, my wife and two kids has expired Philippine passports, we're not renewing our passport cause we don't have plan to travel outside Canada yet...

Can we still apply for Canadian Citizenship?

We landed March 13, 2015 in Canada as a PR... our passport expired last April 2017.

In the eligibility calculator, we're eligible to apply now for Canadian Citizenship but we have expired passport.

Can you give me some idea if we need to renew first our passport before applying for citizenship or no need to renew.


Thank you.

Hi, we got PR status on Feb 20, 2015, PR cards expire end of March 2020. We entered Canada several times for a short trips before we moved on permanent basis in March 2018.

Now not planning to leave the country, but have a big concern on when and if we comply for renewal of cards.

If counting 5 years from landing date i will have 729 days inside of Canada on Feb 2020.

Should I wait until closer to PR expiry date and apply that time (if count 5 years from any time in March I will have even more than 730 days..)


Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your question with us.

You can find details specific to that process on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website in the Permanent resident travel document: About the process section.

You need to send your PRTD application through a visa application centre (VAC). After that, a VAC agent will review your application to make sure your it is complete and has all the documents specified in the checklist.

If a visa officer approves your application, they will return your passport and original documents to you with your permanent resident travel document.

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.

Hi,

I recently immigrated to Canada (landing date 28th June 2019). Mistakenly I gave the wrong address for delivery of PR card. In this case would I have to raise a request for:

Address Notification or Change of Address?

Expecting an early reply as the delivery would happen to a wrong address if I don't notify in time.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Alhad.

Hello,

I hope someone can help me as soon as possible.

I am a Protected Person in Canada and I applied for my PR a few months ago. My Medical Report was requested and I sent it in.

My younger sister who resides in my home country where i fled from has just informed me that our father has fallen ill. I can't compare the love that I have for my father with anyone one besides my daughter. September will make 3 years since I moved to Canada and almost every night for the passed year, I've cried myself to sleep hoping, praying and wishing to reunite with my father again. He has been my best friend for as long as I can remember and parting with him has been the toughest thing I had to endure.

Many nights I go to bed just hoping that I will have a chance to see him at least one more time before he passes. I promised myself I'd make it memorable. The thing is, I am not sure if there is a procedure that exists for the Canadian government to allow Protected persons to leave on these conditions. My father cannot travel and I'd at least love to have the opportunity to attend his funeral if he passes before I can visit him without consequences.


Can someone please provide any useful information regarding these circumstances?

Hi this is Shaq
I am landed as a PR holder, i first landed with my family sep 2015 than left oct 2015 than again return Canada Jan 2016, in Oct 2016 a canadian company depute me outside canada from Oct2016 to July 2018 for their international project, company completed project and money came through banking channel, I informed everything to CRA and CRA sent me letter and recognise a factual resident of Canada now my question is that as per CRA recognition can i apply my citizenship ?

My all days outside canada for working canadian company will count as physical present, i was active tax filler during the period i was posted

Thanks waiting for reply

Thank you for the initial response. The links are helpful.

My father have renounced his PR status in Korea at Canadian Consulate 15 years ago. Apparently the process has not been completed.

Currently CIC has sent another letter stating that my father is eligible to apply for the PR sponsored by my mother. However, they will not process until his current status is renounced.

option 1. apply for the PR card
option 2. renounce current PR status and continue with the Spouse sponsorship PR application.

We are not sure which option is better.

Hello

My father was born in Canada in 1947. Immigrated outside if canada when I was born (1973), He issued me with a Canadian citizenship. My eldest daughter was born in 2005 I made a request for citizenship for her and was easily accepted.

I was realy upset that the Canadians laws were changed on 4.2009 and according to the embassy in my country, I cant submit a request that the law is different and my son is not entitled to citizenship unless he lives in Canada for several years.
some importent questions

1) Is it possible to get citizenship through the grandfather ? (my father?)
My father, who was born in Canada, could he fulfill a request for a grandchild?

2) I got a canadian citizenship (outside of canada) many years before my son was born, when he was born i was allready a canadian citizen... maybe thaf can help...

3) Is there another way, perhaps to argue that it is problematic for a father and daughter to have a citizenship and my son (the same family) without citizenship??

4) Maybe a sponsor? In my understanding, sponsorship still requires him to travel for a few years in Canada.

I would be happy to help you if there is any way to prevent "discrimination"
My son vs daughter ??


Thanks in advance

Hi,

Me, my wife and my daughter are all permanent residents of Canada and all of us have completed 2+ years (out of 5 years) residency obligation.

My wife is pregnant and is currently in India where we plan to have our 2nd child born.

Could you kindly advise me on the process on how soon I can bring the new born back to Canada on PR or any other option where he/she would be eligible for healthcare as well ?

If I have to sponsor from within Canada:

Can I start the sponsorship process?

And leave Canada to stay with my family in India and come back once the application is approved ?


Thanks & Regards.
