Canada made us a perfect Christmas present this year! My common-law got her PR status today
.
We need help one last time of you guys, Within the package of Paris we got a letter saying the following:
"As mentioned above, if you are already in Canada and have valid temporary resident status, you now have the option of obtaining
your permanent resident status in Canada as opposed to leaving Canada and re-entering at a port of entry. Please contact CIC's Call
Centre at *********** as soon as possible to arrange an appointment with the nearest Citizenship and Immigration office to your place of interest.
If you are entering Canada from abroad, to become a permanent resident you must present the Canadian Immigrant Visa upon arrival at a Canadian
border crossing or international airport within the validity date shown on the visa.
You can present your permanent resident visa upon arrival from abroad at any Canadian border crossing or internationalt airport. Please allow a few hours
before any connecting flight or other travel t your final destination, as the immigration procedures are done at your initial place of arrival in Canada."My common-law partner doesn't have a temporary resident status. She officialy was making holidays since we arrived in Canada. Does that mean she has
to leave and re-enter Canada? This would be very annoying because she only could leave to USA to re-enter and therefore would have to wait again
because we both don't have Bio-Passports. Or can we just go to the airport and somehow "simulate" leaving Canada and re-entering without
actually have to leave the country?
Thank you once again!
