khawaja74 11-Oct-00, 08:31 PM (GMT) "Students in US have trouble to demonstrate Canadian ties" I landed in Canada in summer 2000, I am going to school in US. and after graduating in May 2001, I am planning to work in US for at least one year to gain the experience I'll need to land a nice job in Canada. I'll be in Canada on coming X-mas to stay for a while and "MAYBE" apply for RRP I would like to ask you what should I do in order to demonstrate that I am serious in continuing my residence in Canada but due to circumstances I am tied in US(studies) and after my graduation I will be tied for a different reason in US (job). With all this going on I will get married also which U alredy replied earlier but the situation is so much mumbled jumbled that I'm finding it hard to pull every thing togather, 1) Demonstrate my intentions to live in Canda, and believe me I liked Canada more than US. 2) Bring my Fiancee here after marriage next year(Although I dont have income in Canada) 3) Starting the job in US later next year (July 2001 and accoring to imm laws I cannot stay out of Canada more than 183 days with out RRP) Tell me where should I start, what end should I pull to solve the puzzle. Also, some friendz told me that if you enter US from Canada by road the Canadian authorities cannot tell about your whereabouts so you can fake that you are in Canada and you can bypass RRP. by doing so the days you spend in US. will be counted towards 1085 days for the Canadian citizenship (after which all the problems will be solved) Suggest what should be done! I am double minded. Also when I would start working in US I will be getting H1-B visa for US on which I can bring my spouse even if Canadian authorities refuse the Sponsor as you said earlier ( I dont have any income in Canada sponsorship is likely to be refused ) So, in this situation what should I do? I would like to do every thing under the umbrella of law and truth, as I did till now, but the circumstances are forcing me to think in the wrong directions or Canadian laws are a bit tooooo strict when it comes to staying in Canada. I am reluctantly thinking of RRP because it gives the immigration officer the power to refuse your entry in to Canada and you are at the mercy of imm. officer at the border and some friendz even said RRP is like "Digging a hole for your self". Please reply in detail because this problem is with many "Canadian Resident" students going to school in US and two of my very close frienda are facing the same.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dcohen 14-Oct-00, 11:46 PM (GMT) 1. "RE: Students in US have trouble to demonstrate Canadian ties" The reality is that the Immigration department has significantly tightened its policies regarding the issuance of Returning Resident Permits for applicants who can not demonstrate significant ties to Canada, and who have not resided for a significant period within Canada. The link above refers to some of the common ties that are considered. In the absence of a significant stay in Canada, however, in which the permanent resident clearly established himself in Canada, these ties are unlikely to be sufficient. In the absence of a Returning Resident Permit, a permanent resident is able to maintain status in Canada as long as it canbe demonstrated that there was no intention to abandon Canada as the place of permanent residence. Factors such as remittance of Canadian tax returns, maintenance of financial ties to Canada, maintenance of a lease in Canada, etc. may work in the favour of the individual in such a case, but the decision will eventually be at the discretion of the Immigration department. ________ Campbell,Cohen - attorneys at law info@canadavisa.com tel: (514)937-9445; fax: (514)937-2618 http://www.canadavisa.com   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
