    Permanent Resident Status - PR Card Renewal if not meeting RO or Voluntarily give up PR Status and apply again as a skilled worker?

    Thank you Devnill to read and take the time to reply to one of my posts here. Although I would neveer, never ever wish anyone hoping that they would get reported no matter what their background is, what their reasons are for being outside of Canada. I guess people are different. I could never...

    Permanent Resident Status - PR Card Renewal if not meeting RO or Voluntarily give up PR Status and apply again as a skilled worker?

    Thanks so much for the information Canuck78. It is actually not a calculated risk type of story that I wrote down. This is the life-story of mine (or as many call it: background history of me in the past years). What I am trying to look for and find out before getting in touch with the embassy...

    Permanent Resident Status - PR Card Renewal if not meeting RO or Voluntarily give up PR Status and apply again as a skilled worker?

    Thanks for the quick reply, Canuck78. The dates and years are documented so that's not a problem. I had 0 stages compulsory trainings prior to both with set specifications from the employer company who covered the trainings so the number of years related to my studies are not an issue here as...

    Thank you for your message Canuck_in_uk! You are absolutely right. I don't have any HC grounds. For my absence, I can only give an explanation with full documentations as proofs to Immigration that I received a scholarship for my Master's and then a 6 year PhD doctoral training and after my...

    Thanks for the info. Yes, I thought so too after reading your comments on this. Obviously, I would remain then in Canada and keep in mind to do the research tasks in Canada only during those 2 years.

    Permanent Resident Status - PR Card Renewal if not meeting RO or Voluntarily give up PR Status and apply again as a skilled worker?

    Thanks again, Besram! All these details are great help! I will check the SIN card I have from the past as well. I am planning to return to Ontario just like the first time when I landed as a PR. Also, I will try to find a lawyer who deals with such issues just in case something comes up or...

    Permanent Resident Status - PR Card Renewal if not meeting RO or Voluntarily give up PR Status and apply again as a skilled worker?

    Thank you so much, Besram! Very-very useful advice! So it does seem that the best chance I have to keep my PR status is to try to enter land border (from the us) and remain in Canada for 2 years. Even if I get reported, I get a chance to explain why I was out of the country and have a slight...

    Permanent Resident Status - PR Card Renewal if not meeting RO or Voluntarily give up PR Status and apply again as a skilled worker?

    Dear All replying with very useful comments! There's also another thing that has just popped into my mind. Even if the land border entry is successful, all my other card (Driver's licence, healthcard...etc) are all expired. Does this mean for 2 years I can't renew them? Is there a chance that...

    Thank you Besram for the answer! Yes, you are right, I completely left that out that once I cross the border that counts as an exit, it's so obvious! Silly me! :) Also, about the covid crisis... the job offer will be issued sometimes in the fall once the covid crisis is over and travelling...

    Permanent Resident Status - PR Card Renewal if not meeting RO or Voluntarily give up PR Status and apply again as a skilled worker?

    Thank you for replying Scylla! I try to look for advice in different forums here and similarly to you, others also mentioned the US land border entry. My home country is a visa exempt country, however for a few years now travellers need to have an ESTA, a Travel Authorization. It is possible to...

    Permanent Resident Status - PR Card Renewal if not meeting RO or Voluntarily give up PR Status and apply again as a skilled worker?

    Hi Everyone! I also would like to seek some advice on PR Status and PR Card renewal. I became a Permanent Resident in Canada in 2004 as a Skilled Worker, got my PR Card which expired in 2009. I have not met the RO, returned back to my home country for a phd research. After 10 years being...
