hi all

lets say i land in january /2011 as a skilled worker and take my card then return to my home contry for work and after exactly 3 years i come back to canada to settle what will happen in the follwing

1- will they take my card becoz i didnt visit canada during the past three years or its ok because i still didnt break the 2years minimum to maintain the residnecy??

2- is there a re entery permit for canada (like in the states) so somone could apply for a 2 years abscence??

3- if we lost our card but have a baby at canada does this guarante us to get the card again in the future considering our son is canadian by birth and we have to be with him to raise him up in canada???


thanks to the experts

hi i can't help but wonder why get a PR then not be here for it. but anyways

as far as i am aware.

they will not take your card at the airport.
there is no re-entry permit. you dont' need it because you are PR.
and no you dont' get automatic rights to be a PR or a citizen because your child does.

however they are strict on meeting the requirements which is clearly outlined.

Let's put this way -

The PR card issue to you is good for 5 years. The card is all yours nobody can take it from you. if you lost it you will be able to get a replacement with the same expiry date.

When you apply to renew your PR after 5 years, they will check your manimum stay criteria. But if you stayed 3 years and got citizenship, you don't have to do the PR renewal anymore.

I hope it helps
