> Were you asked any reasons as to why you were out of Canada so long/late in returning? Did you provide any? They asked me why now and not before, yes. I said that I did not expect to obtain my PR so early and was not ready to settle in at the beginning, it was true, I obtained my PR in less...

No they did not force me at all. It is just that from what I read it is hard to win the appeal if you don't have any humanitarian or compassionate reasons. Regardless how well you are established in the country it looks like it is not taken into account at the time of the hearing. Maybe if you...

Interesting, well first I was really tired because I did not sleep the previous night, was nervous and jet-lagged but I still remember quite well. Actually I first saw a young and new agent that was supervised by another, both asked questions and replied to both of them. And then later saw a...

I did not want to make it feel that it was a personal vendetta or anything, I knew that I had very little chance to not being reported . And from the discussions I have heard it looks like there is some tolerance. But it depends also on who will deal with your case so there is a factor of luck...

yes that is the case. But not sure to understand your last comment. I applied a second time for a PR but followed the full process again from scratch and got it 5 years ago. The first time I lost it, I showed that I accepted the decision and left the country. Why it would be different the 2nd...

They asked for the housing, for the job, for the returning flight ticket not before their decision. It starts with why do you come back ? where do you live, where is your residency ? and then they ask other questions. I tried to defend my case that I had enough money for more than a year (had...

Well to give an update, some people might be interested, it is not going well. So left Canada 11 days after I was given a removal order for not meeting my RO since I did not want to appeal. I left at YUL, notified the border agents that I was leaving, one showed up at the gate just before I...

Hi, I was in a similar situation and lost my permanent residency 2 months ago when I got back to Canada at YUL. Well to give you an idea I had only spent 95 days in Canada in the last of 5 years when I landed at YUL. Border agents will check your willingness to stay in Canada, not sure exactly...

To answer some comments, I don't think the flight ticket is good enough or just looking at the log of flight passengers, otherwise why would they need to send a CBSA officer. I asked the CBSA officer just before leaving when I will be able to travel back to Canada as a tourist, if I should...

It was still valid.

No not what happened in 2016. I had re applied for a new PR, got it sooner that I expected mid 2017 and when COVID hit I did not travel to Canada to settle while I was already short on my presence in Canada. I regretted it and still took a chance a few days ago knowing that I failed once again...

Hi I had received a removal order at YUL to execute within 60 days because I did not comply with the residency obligations. I was expecting it even thought I regret it. But that is not the issue. I left Canada after 9 days but the immigration officer at the airport did not provide me with...

Hi, I had received a removal order at YUL because I failed to comply with the residency obligations. I was expecting it even though I regret it. But I left Canada after a week and at the airport the immigration officer checked that I boarded the plane. But 2 things bother me and I find them...

I still own a valid PR card. I had it renewed 1 year after I left (I learned later that I was not supposed to because not living in Canada at the time I asked for the renewal). I did not know at that time that what mattered most was how much time I spent in Canada in the last five year and not...

well if your appeal is dismissed (I hope that won't be the case, you seem to have more acceptable reasons than mine), I guess you'll be forced to leave the country. It will take some time between the moment you are forced to leave the country and applying again for PR and getting the approval...

Actually when the departure order has been issued beginning of May 2016, I only stayed around 420 days (1year and 2months) in the last 5 years since May 2011. (overall since I became PR in 2009, I staid 3,5 years in Canada) I travelled to Canada every year from 2013 to 2016 for a week every time...

Thanks, in the list of compassionate reasons I had seen that one: * to what extent you have established a home in Canada, but I am not sure if it applies only for the period prior to the report of not meeting the requirements or at the time I will be audited by the immigration judge. Well...

Hi, I am a permanent resident who did not satisfy the RO. I lived in Canada 3,5 years between 2009 & 2012 and wanted to go back there to settle in (again). My last journey there (just 2 weeks ago), I have received a departure order, left before the 30 days and notified an immigration officer (...
