Hi, my girlfriend was born in the US, but then moved with her family to Canada when she was barely 1yo.
She then lived there until 9, left for a couple of holidays but also had health insurance and other benefits in Canada.
She's trying to find out if she has a Canadian PR but the only way to do it is expensive through a lawyer who's going to check the database. Her old passport only has I and P right next to her entry dates - anyone know what these two mean in this context?
Unfortunately her parents can't remember if she had a PR or not. She has a stamp that says that she was allowed to stay 4 years when she was 10

Where has she been living now? Is she back in the united states? The parents do not know on what basis they moved to Canada?

If she has a stamp saying she is allowed to stay for four years - this does not sound like permanent residency - this sounds like temporary residency / visitor record. What does the stamp say?

Have to say it sort of boggles the mind to think her parents have no idea if she has PR or not.

Maybe this would be a possibility?
