Apparently you can apply to renew it several times but isn't it a 6 months processing time? I also believe you could cross the US border (if thats even possible now) to re-enter canada in order to get a visitor record processed there and then instead.

We are in similar shoes and I would definitely at all cost try to move at the very least before your PR card expires and obviously the sooner the better. I spoke to IRCC and they told me that youre quite likely to be let through without issues as long as you have a valid PR card. You then need...

Close! Thanks for confirming

Indeed, but this obviously doesn't stop me from seeking expert advice on the exact same subject whether it be from a lawyer, CBSA or IRCC. I now have confirmation from both CBSA and IRCC that there are currently no covid19 exception in place for RO breaches but that it is at the discretion of...

I meant my spouse who is a PR but would only be visiting (more than 15 days). I literally stumbled upon this page https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/cpr-crp-eng.html , I can't say I understood what it is in relation to, is it a covid19 condition?

Sorry, yes, removal order. Thanks for confirming, this is what I read also. Just wondering if even the deporting order could carry any future consequences (assuming you complied and it didn't turn into a deportation order) such as a "red flag" in your file, or making a serious application such...

Thanks amrelroby. I understand, the rolling starts after the first 5 yrs. Which means I am not under "rolling" rules yet, though. Perhaps it's somehow "less risky" once under rolling rules, although someone here stated otherwise. To me that would make the most sense. If officers are known to...

Sure, I can see your point too. I guess I'm also worried about lengthy application process due to the temporary "stall" during covid19. At the border there is immediate processing. All worth considering. In travel information on CBSA website they do mention that PRs need to come to Canada to...

Thanks again, I appreciate the detailed information. I agree, healthcare is the absolute biggest obstacles for my child (also given how many small "emergencies" that can happen all the time). I guess its possible to get a second opinion by going to the pharmacy and maybe calling a healthcare...

Thanks again for sharing your experience. To me, its just hard to understand the logic when the immigration act clearly indicates a PR needs to be present in Canada (or qualify for any of the exceptions) for two out of *every* five year period but then waive that requirement or not investigate...

This link mentions 105 days average processing times currently for renewal of PR card https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html Whether its any different when needing to submit supporting documents doesn't seem to show

Thanks for sharing your experience. To be honest, we had a bit of an issue already at our PR landing appointment when the officer dropped their pen at our response that we still hadn't quit our jobs in our home countries. But when I let them know we were well aware of the 2 out of 5 yr...

Sure, I knew my buffer was ticking away. I sure had my reasons, but it was always risky. I couldnt know covid-19 would hit, but I had no margin for it. I dont deny it. However, my plan now was not to sponsor my child, YET. I would not sponsor anyone until I knew for certain that my move there...

Thanks for the practical advice. Yes, I was planning to make a "permanent" move for at least 3 years, with no return ticket. Actually, my aim would be to apply for citizenship- and it also worries me that if there are "notes" in my profile that my application might go into non-routine. It...

I actually wasn't planning on sponsoring my child straight away, so I'm not too concerned about that. Do you mind elaborating why it won't affect my status if my spouse was to have any issues at the border due to his expiring RO? I don't know how they work with "family", do they keep these...

The information I have been reading online indicate it's important to avoid being assessed by IRCC at all cost. In my case which is rather complicated, I might need to apply for a visitor record (extension of time allowed in canada) for my dependent child. Since my child is not old enough to...

Amrelroby, based on your experience I guess I might be in "more" trouble. Although my job abroad is "paused", I don't have studies or a job in canada yet. Not even a proper apartment, as I would be starting out in airbnbs. I have an excuse to be caring for my child, but I would still be on...

Ok so to be more specific I was initially when creating this post still in compliance to RO by two days. Unfortunately I hesitated and now find myself out of RO compliance with about one week. I was heading to canada together with a dependent child who would be arriving on an eTa allowing 6...

Thanks again for caring to provide these helpful details. Last time I was at Toronto pearssons Airport I don't actually recall passing a border officer in an official way because there were booth systems where one scanned your own PR cards which I did. I dont know what this system registers ie...

I understand they are still permanent residents and that's reassuring. But its still the silent scream "do not apply for anything!" and the term inadmissible PR that I struggle with
