Hi Msafiri and all, I look forward to your opinions to my previous questions. Addtional questions, though are: 1) whenever I travel with my husband even with my current PR card, is it counted as part of time spent in Canada? 2) From now on, every time I land in Canada, as long as I travel...

Hello Msafiri, Thank you for your reply. I spoke with an immigration consultant to get a second opinion. I was advised that it is not an ideal situation where I keep landing in Canada as a visitor (with visa exemption) and attempt to renew my PR card. When I apply for the renewal and find out...

Hello again! To land in Canada, should I take advantage of my passport (i.e. visa exemption) by lining up at visitor's line or should I use both my passport and an expired PR card and line up in the PR/Canadian citizen line? If I get questioned at the immigration, as long as I have a marriage...

wow, because of your advice my life gets much easier! Thank you! I actually took a medical exam recently and the results should be sent to the immigration officer by now, but I hope it won't be an issue. My concern is that the results should be filed with my passport number another question...

Hi Msafiri Thank you so much for your insightful comment. If I don't need to cancel my PR, it will save my time and money a lot! So let's say I do not cancel my PR and just move to Canada in a few months. 1. If my husband come travel out of Canada with me, does it count as part of 730 days...

Here is my answer: 1) March 2003, (renewed my status in 2008) 2) End of April 2013 3) Yes, visa exempt nationality 4) yes, he is a Canadian citizen born and raised in Canada and has a stable job. How he can prove my coming back? we have a marriage certificate 5) only 120 days. I am in a home...

Thank you Leon as always for your prompt reply. Hi, Msafiri Thank you for your in-depth explanation. I appreciate it. I wish I could keep my current PR status. However, even when I count the number of days with my husband, it will not suffice the 735 days obligation. We have been in a long...

Hello Leon and anybody who could help, Can anybody help my question? My husband and I are stuck in this issue. I appreciate your help!

hi Leon I am preparing for IMM 5627-application for a travel document as you advised. in order to simply verify my not meeting the pr status obligations, 1) do I need to pay the fee? 2) do I need to submit all required items listed in a document checklist, including my ID photos, passport...

yes you are right. I cannot find the IMM 1342 online. so back to my questions, the best way is to relinquish my old pr status and to do so, submit the traval document form with my new pr status applications? what I want is smooth "transition " from my old to new pr status application thank you

Hello Leon pardon me for another question when I write a letter, should I use a designated form? As I was reading Canada immigration web site, it seems that there exists a form called "IMM 1342 confiscated or voluntary surrendered IMM 1000B" do you know where to obtain this form? thank you...

hi Leon my spouse and I are about to send out application package for a family class pr status within this months. before we submit the documents, I came up with a few questions. once again, I could not meet pr obligation yet my pr card is not confiscated yet. 1) if I dont have guarantee...

what I am afraid or expect is that every time I come back to Canada, there is a chance that an immigration officer will ask me a question of my old status or even need to renounce.

hello Leon thank you for your reply. is it better to send my old PR card also? is it ok to apply for a new status with my old name? right now, I am officially married in Canada's, but not in my home country.

Hello All, We are now married last and putting applications to apply for a new status with my husband's sponsor. Here are my questions. 1) Can we send our evidence of relationship, such as pictures, emails, and other documentations on a USB flash drive? or everyhing has to be a hard copy? 2)...

Thank you again for your reply. When I go through the immigration this time, is it still ok to tell the truth that I am getting married in Canada? Does it cause more questions from the immigration officer? Maybe I am too worried....

Hello Leon Now I understand that in order to renew my status, I must renounce it first. Let me clarify though, the only way to renounce it is to go to the embassy or to go through the immigration, but it cannot be automatically renounced when I apply for a new status? Also even if I move to...

Thank you, Leon for your immediate reply. After the wedding I need to come back to my home to continue my work til my new pr status is granted. And i don't think I am opt for living in Canada for two years without going out of the country. If this is the case, before reapplying for a PR...
