I believe payroll can verify sin numbers here: https://www.payroll.ca/CPA/resources/Tools/SIN/en/Disclaimer.aspx You can verify it yourself too, however I'm not sure whether the verification includes the active status, or just if it's a legal sin number. Were you asked for the PR card, or you...

I'm trying to understand the situation: did you give your original SIN number to service Canada and they did not find a record for it?

SUZROA, I believe your case is a little different because when you left in 2001 the law for PR obligation was different. The new law with 2 out of 5 years obligation came out in 2002. It's possible that before that you could and/or were supposed to ask for permission to leave for an extended...

Hello, Anybody has a link to the newly proposed immigration changes? I know they will affect citizenship, but will they affect permaneny residency as well? Thank you, Robert

Have you tried to enter Canada using the US pasaport alone?

Yes, I thought about the same myself. However, if they report you then they have to give you paperwork and the paperwork must be based on some facts, like your verbal statement. If they don't have your statement, then how can they report you? Based on your right to refuse to answer a question...

Anybody read this article? It's not a new one and may have been discussed here, but I thought it would be interesting to bring it up. If it's true, especially the excerpt below, then passing the border check should not be an issue...

I've checked Globe an Mail but didn't see the article, what day was it published?

I have a question please: does a driver license need to be renewed after 5 yrs? Are they checking residency status at renewal again?

Yes, apply after you have the 5 yrs and you will be ok. Can you please share your experience when you returned after more than 3 yrs? Were you questioned about the long stay outside Canada? Thanks, Robert

I landed to Vancouver as well. With my California registered car. The Canadian officer lady made a big deal of this, lots of noise etc.. However, she completed the landing formalities, but told us that "something must be fishy here." We didn't import anything and told her we were coming back in...

Thank you, Robert

I'm not sure if this was discussed here: I have not received the resident card after almost 4 months. I'm still in the US but I provided a Canadian address when I landed. My wife got her card at that address. Is it possible (and OK) to call from the US in inquire about the card? If yes, anyone...

Zamsid, traveling with the US passport is not a problem. From the US point of view you can go anywhere you want, whenever you want and return back whenever you want. It's your right as a US citizen. Canada will allow you in also, because you don't need a visa to visit Canada. The issue here is...

Newtone, get a life!

Zamsid, why did you think it was risky to travel? You are a US citizen and have a legal travel document. Please respond to my email address, robfis@yahoo.com, if you want. This thread was taken over by people discussing other issues and it gets confusing. Robert

I have a question Zamsid: When you returned to Canada in 2009, how did you enter the country: by car or air? Did you use the US passport? Haven't they identify you as a (former) Canada PR? Thanks, Robert

Finalexodus, I have a question to you: how did the border officer know that you haven't returned since 2008? Have you declared that, or was it stamped on the passport, or from the the computer system? Did you travel by air, or drove from the US? Thanks, Robert

Thank you, Leon. I'll contact the immigration service. Robert

We landed from US today, via Vancouver. I will describe our unpleasant experience and ask you to share similar experiences. First I would like to mention that we are US citizens. My wife and I arrived to the Canadian border and told the guy in the booth that we intended to land. He asked for...
