Topic: PR: Intention to Leave Canada for a Long Time

Bolduin

Good afternoon.

We landed in Canada one year ago and received PR status.

After being 1 year in Canada we need to go back to the home country because of family circumstances. Most likely we will spend there a year or two.

In that case can we come back to Canada without any problems within 5-year window?

What formalities do we need now to do here in Canada before leaving?

We are currently receiving child benefits, GST/HST return.

Do we need to inform CRA or any other institutions about our intention to leave Canada?

Is there a necessity to close all the banking accounts and credit cards?

Thanks for your response in advance.
