Hello,
I have a canadian PR card since 12/2010, expires 12/2015. I lived in Canada 15 days only when I landed (a week in 2011), and visited later for another 8 days in 2012. The reason I did this is, I got a job in the US few days before I was going to move to Canada, and I ended up in the US getting the green card and I am now a citizen. Recently, spouse would like us to move to Canada for family reasons (she is a US citizen).
We plan to move sometime in 2016, by then my PR would be expired. However, can I enter Canada with my US passport as a visitor, and live there for two years as a PR till I apply to renew it? Its my understanding that the PR status does not expire, but the "PR card" does.
Please advise
Thanks,
Hugo
