Hello,
I got PR in year 2003. Due to certain reasons was not able to maintain PR. In July 2019 I applied for Temporary Resident VISA for CANADA.

Visa officer, saying that since U R permanent resident of Canada, we cannot issue U temporary visa. He gave me options to either renounce PR or reapply or leave both.

As I did not met resident obligations in last 16years so I opted Renouncing of my PR and Visa Officer issued me multi entry Temporary Resident Visa till expiry of my passport ie till 2021. I M in Canada these days.

My question now is,


Can I reapply or request Visa Officer to reconsider my case of PR which I renounced 2months ago.

Hello Sir,

I became a Canadian citizen last year June 2018 but due to some irreconcilable differences with my wife she opted for divorce we got separated in last Sept-2019 in India.

She was also a permanent resident as both of us were landed immigrants in 2010 she didn't stay much in Canada and her Permanent residency got expired long before we got divorced she is not interested to come to Canada which is one of the reasons for our differences and

I would like to know what will happen if I remarry and I have my new wife and children will the children of my new wife automatically become Canadian citizens as I am a Canadian citizen.

Please reply to my query.

Thanks.

Greetings,


I am a Canadian Citizen, my wife failed to pass the Citizen Exam (she lived 6 years in Canada) and the judge didn’t approve her case in 2011. She is living with me outside of Canada since 2011.
Can she apply for the exam now without meeting the 730 days during the last five years?
Best Regards

I'm a Canadian married to an English man (UK) and together we have 2 Canadian Children, both born in Canada. We've lived in France for 7 years.

My husband had a Permanent Resident Card in Canada but as it had expired while we were living in France, as we were planning a visit back to Canada, he needed to renounce it in order to apply for an ETA. We plan on moving back permanently next year, will he have to reapply for a Permanent Resident Card all over again?
If yes, can he start the application process from France before our return? Knowing he'd have to go back to Canada for appointments or signing paperwork.
For me and the kids, do we just start on paperwork (licence, healthcard etc) once we return?

Thanks for any help or advice.

Hi,
I live in France with my canadian wife and canadian kids and we're planning to move to Canada.
I just received the permanent residence status, and the embassy informed me by email that I had to arrive in Canada before May 22nd.
It may be a bit too early for us (we are expecting kids, etc).
I read that time spent abroad with a canadian spouse could be taken into consideration.
Does that mean that we can postpone our arrival in Canada?
If so, should we do something specific ?
Your answer would be really helpful.
Regards,

Samuel

Hi,

The things you need to look at are; whether you PR card expired or not yet. If it's already expired, are you able to renew it?
If it is expired and you cannot renew it because of residency requirements, that would be a sign that an immigration officer would probably refuse your application to sponsor for residency reasons.
You can always contact IRCC customer services for current information about your issue.
Thank you

Hi Lahbib



I am not sure. I had no issues when I landed. In the last few months, I have had no issues re-instating my SIN number, Health Cover, Driving Licence, etc. Also, I've not had any issues with my employment or anything else.

Application for a PR card


I have subsequently learnt that I have to apply for a new PR card
Q: In order to arrive in Canada with the appropriate status. Can I complete and send my PR application now from France?
Q: If so, do I send my application to the Canadian Embassy in France or to Canada?
Q: What is the usual processing time?
Q: Is there a method to reduce the processing time?

Thanking you for your advice

I received COPR. However, the eye color and height was incorrectly written by me during initial application. Black eye color instead of brown for mine and 160 cm height instead of 150 cm for my son.
Is is require to correct before landing or can be corrected at Port of Entry

I have been in Canada almost 68 of my 70 years brought here as a two yr old. Lived worked married family all here. Why must I pay and apply to become a citizen of the only country I know as my home? I was born in England

I've had my PR status for 3 years. I'm about to move in 3 weeks and I went to the IRCC website to see how I can update my address, but there is only information about how to change your address if you're submitted an application. Are permanent residents required to notify IRCC when they move? If so, how can I do so?
Thank you

Hello,

I have the following inquiries regarding the PR card renewal for people who became PR in 2015.
- How do I calculate number of days of physical presence for PR card renewal. If I take short trips outside the country, do the dates of departure and arrival both count as days of absence from Canada? or is it only the departure day that counts as a day of absence?

- Suppose I travel to the US and return the next day (for example: travel to US 18-Jan, travel back to Canada 19-Jan), how many days in that case count as absent from Canada?

- How long before the expiry of the PR card is it recommended to submit my PR card renewal application?


Thank you

My husband has applied for his Canadian Citizenship and completed/passed his test in December 2019. He had an invite to do the ceremony the first week on January 2020 and he rescheduled because we are out of the country. (We thought it would be about 3-4 months until he had a ceremony invite!) They have rescheduled him for first week of February and we are still out of the country. My question is, is there a limit on the amount of times he can reschedule? We are back in Canada end of March.
Thank you!
