    About the definition of "accompanying" a citizen

    Thanks Rob To, So accompanying means physically living together or cohabitation, not anything to do with who followed whom, from your perspective? I think so.

    Application of Section 28 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act

    Thanks for the url. Yes, I heard about the "who followed whom" rule but am not sure how it would apply to my case since I have not actually lived in Canada before or after our marriage. So, I would not follow him. Would I be able to say that he stays in the US because of me and thus "followed" me?

    What should I do to keep my PR?

    ...but...it's not an absolute guarantee. Some discussions here have debated, at great length, how IRCC can sometimes consider `who followed whom' when both PR and their Canadian spouse are not living in Canada. If the Canadian spouse `followed' their PR spouse, it may not be a quick decision.

    About the definition of "accompanying" a citizen

    Right, physically living together. Shouldn't matter who went there first. Time would just start counting when there together, and stop counting when one person leaves.

    Can my time abroad count toward my permanent resident status?

    There have been reports that IRCC does sometimes look at who accompanied whom when claiming you’ve lived with a Canadian citizen. If she followed you to the UAE, they may not allow that time to count towards residency. That being said, worst case scenario, she could always sponsor you again.

    PR card expiring, abroad with Canadian wife, holiday to Canada

    They don't always dig into the "who followed whom" rule. However I think you should be fine on this front. Yes, if the PRTD is refused, that would lead to a loss of your PR status.

    **Very IMP PR QUESTION**

    There isn't a clear answer to this question. You can try. IRCC will sometimes apply the "who followed whom" rule in these cases. To be sure you can count the time you spent outside of Canada towards PR, the primary reason should be that the Canadian citizen (your husband) relocated outside of...

    Renew PR card while living in USA with citizen spouse?

    ...forums regarding a PR meeting the Residency Obligation (R.O.) while living abroad with their Canadian spouse or partner. Sometimes the `who followed whom' formula comes into play with IRCC. It sounds like your wife may have in fact `followed' you back to the U.S., but I'm not saying that will...

    Commuting from Point Roberts to Bellingham - time in Canada counting for RO

    IRCC often applies the "who accompanied whom" rule in these situations. So if you are living outside of Canada primarily due to your job / commitments (and your wife was the one who followed), then you cannot count the time. If the reverse is true, then you can count the time.

    2 year length stay requirement for PR needed for common-in-law?

    So you mean that if I'm following my common-in-law partner who is Canadian to live overseas - there could be an issue. If it was the other way round, it would be fine?

    Email from CIC that PR card renewal needs secondary review

    Hi AJK_9, feel free to update the list the way you want, if you'd like. As for me, I will stick to the list that I have seen and pasted from Chrome and other guys here who I followed for a while now because it is better organized and with dates as to when it went to sec review which is very...

    Married to Canadian Citizen, do I need to meet PR Obligations?

    ...that allows you to count time spent outside of Canada with a Canadian spouse towards the residency requirement. However there is also a "who followed whom" element to this rule which IRCC seems to apply inconsistently. Per the "who followed whom" bit, the reasons why you are outside of Canada...

    Application of Section 28 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act

    Hi Leon, Thanks for your response. So the best bet is to travel separate. First I go, than followed by mrs n child. However in case they question my mrs about the child, what shall we say?? "He is here only for visit for less than 6 months" or "We going to arrange his sponsorship while he is...

    About the definition of "accompanying" a citizen

    ...Citizen. So if a PR moves out of Canada because they got a job elsewhere and the Canadian spouse follows, that is not technically following the rule. But I think in practice, IRCC takes the simpler approach where as long a the couple is living together, who followed whom is not really an...
