    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    I entered with only 1.5yrs left on my PR card. I plan to stay 2 full yrs before applying for an extension. I did not take any lawyer help, just medical documents that made it difficult for me to relocate. My company was willing to relocate me, I first entered and as I was not written up, i asked...

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    I was also very nervous. I had some H&C reasons, so i had prepared all the docs etc. to show the officer.

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    Yes i travelled by air from California to Feb 2026. On landing there is a row of kiosk machines, where you scan your Passport and Pr card and the machine decides if you need to see an immigration officer or not. For me it gave clear so i was able to just grab by suitcase and walk out. I did not...

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    Oh i see! Then maybe it’s best I enter by air and later ship my car. Or sell my car So I will just bring one 25kg bag with me and land by air. Later ship any other stuff/car from US as needed to possibly prevent a questioning.

    Yes I still have slightly over 1yr left on my PR card. Only other reason I thought of land entry is so that I can drive/bring my car into Canada from US. If I take air, then I will have to ship my car. Either ways I will prepare my docs for H&C consideration and hope everything goes well.

    Hi did you enter by air/land ? What all questions did the officer ask in secondary inspection ? Was it quick or very detailed ? Did you have to show H&C documents as proof Thank you

    "It is true we get reports that people manage to enter Canada via air successfully despite not being in compliance, but other people also get reported." Hi, is the success chance to not get reported higher via air / land ?

    Only 1 year remaining before PR expiry

    Hi, Has anyone tried permanently moving to Canada with only one year remaining in their 5yr PR term? My PR card expires in little over a year, and I have stayed only for a few weeks so far in Canada. What did CBSA question at the PoE ? Were you issued a A44 at entry ? Did you have to appeal ...
