    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    This is exactly what I meant by "it depends on your situation". Importing a US-plated car that you own when you cross the border is a pretty strong indication that you have not been living in Canada, and may very well invite questions about your compliance with the residency obligation.

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    It depends on many factors & more on your personal situation, rather than which border you cross. You should note though that most people arriving from outside North America would usually travel by air. It's uncommon for someone to travel to the US & then cross the border by land. Permanent...

    Travel Document

    Yes, you can, but without providing strong Humanitarian & Compassionate reasons, or accompanying a Canadian citizen, it will very likely be denied, and you will lose your PR status. The amount of non-compliance with the RO is at the maximum level possible, given you did not live in Canada in the...

    Confused about days counted towards 730 RO

    Any day you spend any time in Canada, even for only one minute, is counted as a full day of presence in Canada for the purposes of compliance with your residency obligation.

    Consequences of being reported on form 44 for not meeting non-residency obligation.

    The ultimate consequence of being reported at the border is a removal order, of which a deportation order is only one type. Typically, the removal order is issued in the form of a departure order, which asks you to leave the country within a specified amount of time (30 days). If you comply...

    Only 1 year remaining before PR expiry

    As mentioned by @armoured, you probably have a fairly decent chance of being let into the country without a report for failure to meet the residency obligation. But it's by no means certain. People in your situation have been reported and lost their PR status as a result. The challenge for you...

    Residency Obligation not completed in last 5 years

    Anecdotal reports in the forum suggest that the likelihood of getting reported for failure to comply with the residency obligation are higher when applying for a PRTD, compared to crossing the land border. If you have a US visa, or you can get one, crossing the land border would be the...

    Apply early before 5 month trip, or wait till after return?

    The safest strategy is to only apply for a PR card once your mother meets the residency obligation. You are aware that having a valid PR card is not required when in Canada? If you must apply immediately for a new card, e.g. because of additional upcoming travel, choose your option 3...

    190 days short for RO 730 days

    I'm unsure what result you are expecting? The fastest processing times reported in the forum are two weeks. So you definitely should not expect any updates after three days. Plus, many here have reported that in fact the status never changes from "Submitted", even after the PR cards is already...

    190 days short for RO 730 days

    If you are asking if a request for urgent processing will change the likelihood of your application being approved or denied: No, of course not.

    Spelling mistake in the citizenship application

    I don't think the application can be changed after it has been signed. I'd recommend you reach out to IRCC via webform, or try giving them a call about what to do. If this doesn't get anywhere, from memory I believe the payment receipt is not tied to any specific application. In theory, you...

    First PR Card mailed out but no GU2

    If you are required to pick up your card in person, you have two options: 1) Apply for a PRTD. You've already been told in another thread that this is basically a formality as you are by definition in compliance with the residency obligation. 2) If you have a visa for the US, you can travel...

    Proof of residency Documents - Queries

    If you meet the RO, you need two documents. That’s it. So for example two NOAs. Or one pay slip and one bank statement. Or any other combination.

    190 days short for RO 730 days

    Nothing to worry about. The one thing to be mindful of is what I pointed out above (i.e., don't list H&C reasons because you won't need to rely on them). Otherwise, just be truthful and accurate in all the information you provide and there shouldn't be any issues at all.

    190 days short for RO 730 days

    If you have lived in Canada for more than 730 days in the five years prior to your application date, there is no need to use a lawyer to submit your application. Just make sure you treat your application like a normal renewal application. Specifically (relying on my memory here), there is a...

    Regional Case Officer also Inspect PR Residency Obligation?

    PR Card renewal- H&C grounds / Not meeting RO

    Yes, of course she can apply on H&C grounds. The visa officer has to take anything into consideration. But be aware this is risky. If they don't deem the reasons sufficient, they will likely start the process of revoking her PR. As others have said, the best approach is to remain in Canada...
