If one has met the residency requirements for PR renewal (say for e.g. they have 850 residency days), and since then they have taken up a U.S. job, have an apartment lease in the U.S., a U.S. driver's license. However, this person also maintains a residence in Canada (joint lease with spouse who lives in Canada). As per the current PR renewal laws/regulations, At the time of submitting the application for PR renewal, does the persona need to be:
1. Physically present in Canada? (see screenshot below from Canada.ca about PR card renewal eligibility)
2. Does the person need to have their primary physical address in Canada? (The PR renewal form asks for "your current residential address in Canada" as shown in the second screenshot below - does this "current residential address in Canada" mean you need to be primarily living here?)
3. Depending on your answer to question #2 above, in this example does the person have to sever all ties to the U.S. and come back to Canada to apply for PR renewal or just maintain a Canadian apartment lease or even just visit Canada for a few days while sending the PR renewal form be enough?
4. If after staying in Canada for 850 days in first 3 years, one stays out of Canada for 1.5 years (cant even come back on weekends due to COVID quarantine), will CBSA challenge the PR when trying to reenter after a lengthy absence? If CBSA recommends that PR be revoked, can one leave Canada while the appeal is in process?
Please consider answering each question itemwise. Thanks!
