Hi, I was landed in 2012 Dec, but I didn't get the PR card. Then I returned back to my country. Now I plan to return in 2018. May I know what I should do? Do I need submit any document before I return?
My husband is citizen and will return with me in 2018
Thanks!
Need more specification to answer your question.
First, did you be accepted as PR in 2012 and you just miss the Card or your PR been refused ?
If you just miss the card, you will simply need to apply for a permanent residence travel document before you try to come back in Canada.
But you should check about : *
" When you are a permanent resident, you can live outside of Canada, but must live in Canada for at least two years in a five-year period. If you live outside of Canada for longer, you may lose your permanent resident status."
"Even if you don't meet the residency obligation, you are still a PR until an official decision is made on your status."
So if you didn't receive a notification saying that you lost your PR, you still are PR of Canada.
If you never been a PR in Canada, well you need to meet all the same obligation than the others persons would need to provide if they want to visit or immigrate in Canada from your country.
I hope it will help.
