hi all
My first landing to Canada was on 17 Nov 09 and l left Canada on 2 Dec 09 without stepping into canada after that.
I understand that I have to be physically in Canada 2 years out of 5 years to maintain the PR status.
1) so the 2 years period starts counting from 17 Nov 09?
2) So does it mean that between 17 Nov 09 to 16 Nov 14 (5 years), i have to be physically in canada for 730 days?
3) if so, how come my PR card expiry date is 4 Dec 14 and not 16 Nov 14?
4) I only got my PR card 3 months after my first landing on 17 Nov 09. So does the days between 17 Nov 09 to 2 Dec 09 count towards the 2 year period which is before I got the PR card?
5) if the answer to 4 is yes, I remember the custom didnt stamp my passport when I depart on 2 Dec 09, so how does the immigration dept know when i actually left Canada? how do I prove that i am in canada for between 17 Nov to 2 Dec 09?
6) what does 'rolling 5 years period means'?
Would appreciate the answers to the questions be answered based on each question.
It would be easier to understand.
Thank you so much
