    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    Thanks! As I just replied to another posting, I didn't realise that travelling to Canada as a "short-term" visitor via a US land border is also a violation if I'm using a foreign passport... even if I still have PR status. I guess it does make sense though, it just doesn't seem to be explicitly...

    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    Thanks for that. I didn't realise that travelling to Canada as a "short-term" visitor via a US land border is also a violation if I'm using a foreign passport... even if I still have a PR status. I guess it does make sense though, it just doesn't seem to be explicitly stated anywhere. As for my...

    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    Also, as I noted in that reply, it sounds like re-applying for PR status could be very dicey for us, hence why it may be a better option not to renounce all together at this point... I have a skilled profession, Canadian education and I still have Canadian Citizen family members living in...

    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    I actually just mentioned this in my last reply. Unfortunately my wife is a European national (same as me), and to make it worse, she does not have any kind of PR status, nor has she ever lived in Canada.

    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    Well, it comes down to the question of whether or not Interesting, and very helpful once again. I wish I had known about this website earlier... the information I manged to get here in less than 8 hours, is far more useful than anything I was able to obtain in 8 weeks from IRCC directly. A...

    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    Thanks! Now that's a strong argument for not renouncing ones PR status, and it's exactly the kind of information that seems to be very difficult to obtain officially.

    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    Thanks for this, but I'm not sure that this EE programme would be ideal for my situation. It doesn't seem to take into account that I have lived in Canada as a PR for over 30 years, and that I would be re-applying as someone who needed to renounce their original PR status on the account of being...

    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    Thanks! Yes, part of those 30 years was spent in Canada as a minor, but you make a good point that qualification can become harder as one gets older. Still, my assumption would be that I shouldn't have problems to re-qualify as a Canadian PR, having spent the majority of my life living and...

    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    Thanks! I assumed you weren't a lawyer (or you would be charging for your services), and I know you're definitely not an IRCC employee, after dealing with their support for several weeks :) Having said that, what you say makes perfect sense, and is pretty much inline with what I already...

    Residency Obligations & Renouncing PR Status

    Hello, I'm really hoping someone on this forum can assist with a very important and time sensitive question. I have tried to contact IRCC several times over the last few weeks, for what I assumed should have been a simple/straight forward answer to a simple/straight forward question. However...
