Topic: Permanent Residency staying outside Canada

kbaria

Hi,

I understand that the Residency Obligation (RO) for PRs is at least 730 days (2 years) out of 5 years rolling period.

I am currently in Singapore and am moving to Canada on 26th December 2020 after having received a transfer letter from my current organisation.

My current situation is as follows:

1. I entered Canada on 28th February 2018 and exited on 31st May 2018. The total time I have spent in Canada to date is 90 days (I received my PR card towards the end of the 90 days stay)
2. The total time I have spent outside Canada is 912 days (2.5 years)
3. After landing in Canada on 26th December, I have approximately 820 days to complete my residency obligations (2 yeas and 2 months) in addition to the 90 days (3 months) I have already spent as mentioned in point number 1.

My questions are as follows:

1. Is my PR card sufficient in terms of a travel document for me to enter Canada?
2. When I enter Canada and I am asked to provide proof of how I will meet my residency obligation will a letter of employment (offer letter) from my employer in Canada suffice?
3. Are there any other checks that I should be aware of?
4. Am I making the move too late or cutting things too short in terms of RO?

Thank you.
