Hello Coordinator and all,
I need help and guidance. My PR is due for renewal but, I will not be able to make 730 days residency requirements before I send it in for renewal. I will give background and will appreciate options that are available to me.
1. Got my PR (with my family) after 7 years of applying.
2. Had to come and land very quickly in 2014 due to the limited period available on my medical.
3. After landing I had to go back to complete the project I was working and sold my property abroad.
4. Final landing was done in 2015.
5. My family have no issues renewing their PR or getting citizenship. It is only me that has this issue.
6. Reason - I was unable to get a job for 7 months, hence had to look beyond Canada to be able to support my family and apply for mortgage for the properties I had deposited for.
7. I have been in and out of Canada working in the last 3 years. It was never my intention to keep going to work outside Canada
8. I was able to work full time for my Canadian registered business for a client abroad recently (2018 to date)
9. Been back to Canada since Dec 2018.
10. Whilst working abroad, most of the funds I make were moved to Canada where I have acquired 2 properties (living in one and another as rental property)
11. I had always and still intend to make Canada my home with my family.
12. My total residence is 18 days short of the required 730.
What are my options? Do I have to leave Canada when my PR expires or do I apply for renewal on compassionate grounds?
Purely legal suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
