Hello, I have a friend who wants to apply for a study permit. They have been in Canada with a work permit for around 2 years, but it expires soon and they still want to try and stay. Their work permit does not allow them to apply under CEC, though they may qualify under EE. They would like to...

I see... thanks! might I be eligible for a travel document if I want to go on vacation/work trip?

I'm in Canada right now and have lost my wallet with the PR card. It had a few years left before the expiry date, but right now I don't meet residency obligations. Can I apply for a replacement, or must I wait (6~ months until I meet obligations) before applying?

I landed yesterday, went through customs very smoothly. The only thing I was asked was, after the officer saw that I was issued a card only recently (after second review), was whether it took so long to issue one because of the residency obligation, and I said that I fulfilled the obligation...

The card finally arrived. Before I board the plane, I have another question. Should I disclose the details about my status right away, or wait until asked? I wouldn't want to appear like I'm hiding something if it might hurt me in the long run.

Hi, I thought I would add my particular case after the fact. I applied for a renewal in July 2014, request for documents (passport) came January 2015, and the card was sent to me (to the wrong address but retrieved) on October 2016, so 2 years and 3 months total wait. I didn't get an email about...

Anything I should do to mitigate the chances of that?

As luck would have it, I managed to contact the person who lives in that address and they did keep the PR card for 4 months! Turns out they forgot to send it back, which is just fine by me ;D That simplifies my situation. Will I still have issues at the airport with the PR card since I don't...

That does sound like the safer bet. I did some more reading, and saw that there is something called a "Solemn Declaration Concerning a Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Never-Received Permanent Resident Card". If I understand correctly, I can fill that out (it hasn't been 180 days) and they might send...

Thanks. As I mentioned, I was told over the phone by a CIC representative that the card was sent, albeit to the wrong address. She also said it wasn't sent back to them so I am hopeful the current resident of that address will know something. I went over many of the appeal cases' results for PR...

So the best course of action would be to try and obtain the card? Otherwise what are my options? I already bought a plane ticket, but I guess I could fly to the states and enter with a car since I'm from a visa exempt country.

Browsing through the forum I found an indirect number I used to contact CIC (until now nothing I tried worked outside Canada) and they said they sent me the PR card months ago but it was to the wrong address (I had 2 addresses, one that I lived in and one where my family lives), which was...

I entered canada in 2012 with a card from 2007 and only a few months spent in Canada. The immigration officer told me I may have problems but just gave me a pamplet and let me in. I haven't had issues since.

Hello! I have been living in Canada for 22 months between 2012-2014. I got my PR Card in 2007 with the rest of my family (who are already citizens). I moved back (to Israel, was still in the army) and moved back in 2012 just before my card expired. They told me it's somewhat problematic but let...

I called and was told to send the expired, damaged card.

That was my reasoning as well. But then the form says you should include a photocopy of the old card.

I'm just finishing up my application for a renewal, and I noticed I have to include the previous card if it's damaged, is this the case if I'm applying for a renewal of an expired card as well (having fulfilled the obligations)? Might be a silly question, but I would like to know for sure as I...

Hello, I am in Canada with an expired pr card, waiting until I have 730 days so I can reapply. Is it possible for me to travel to the US and back in any way? I can use my car or a rental, also I can have one of my parents (who are citizens) come with me, I think I remember reading somewhere...

The exchange program doesn't happen just like that, I have already filed the request and it needs to be approved, but the earliest semester I can attend is winter 2012, starting October this year. As soon as he passed away I started working towards participating in the program. So I will...

I do want the PR, but my university requires me to do the last semester there, and I guess I don't feel the PR card is worth delaying my degree by a year. But I will look into this with my university. Regarding option #2, who do I explain this to? My grandfather was the main reason I enrolled...
