A question regarding when to come back ...

[bin_huffle]

So I was working in the US, and got approved for my Canadian PR application. I drove to one of the POEs and finished the landing process. During this process, the officer asked me when I would be planning to move to Canada permanently as I had told him that I was working in the States and needed to go back to finish up the job. Because I knew then that my contract would end in 3 months, I told him that I would be moving to Canada for good in about 3 months. Then I stayed for one night in Canada and left for the States.

Now my manager offered to extend my contract for another 6 months, so I would not be able to return to Canada by the time when I said I would. Would this cause any problems?

Thank you very much.

Hi

Your verbal confirmation of 3 months will not be recorded anywhere.
You should be good if you can enter Canada before your Card expires (and preferably well ahead to meet the Residency requirement)

No problem, you may be outside Canada for up to 1095 days in your first 5 years as a PR and still meet the residency requirements.
