Outland Permanent Residence application - what to list for residence?

« on: August 13, 2011, 08:51:32 am »

I am a US Citizen currently living in Canada since July 02, 2010 with my common law partner and am getting ready to file for outland PR. I had a work permit valid for a year July 02, 2010-July 02, 2011 and applied for a new work permit before the previous one expired (pending LMO decision). I am getting ready to file a common law PR application and am confused what I should put as my residential address. Some have stated that if you were originally admitted for a year then you can put your Canadian address, but what would happen if my LMO is refused and my work permit is refused after that? Would it be best to just list one of my parent's addresses on the outland application?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

You can list your Canadian address as your mailing address, and your US address as your residential address.

If your work permit is refused, you can try to vary your status to visitor and remain with your partner.

Lots of forum members who were 'visiting' in Canada did put their Canadian address as their residential address, and none of them have reported any problems with that. Especially since you are living common law, it would be better to have your residential address listed as the address in Canada you share with your partner. You can always add a note explaining your situation.
If your work permit is refused, you can still stay in Canada as a visitor. I would just use the Canadian address as your residential address. If the work permit is refused and you decide to go back to the States until your PR is issued, you can always change your address at that time.

Your residence is in Canada (though it's only in Canada temporarily for now), but your permanent residence is in the United States.

The relevant forms ask the applicant to indicate the "Current country of residence", so in the OP's case that should obviously be "Canada".
