I have a Canadian PR card, but currently working in the USA. If I need to move to Canada, it is an absolute must that I should time my move such that I strictly meet the criteria of staying in Canada for 2 years in a 5 year period, OR can I move into Canada as long as my PR card is not expired. I mean in addition to having a valid PR card will the Canadian Immigration also requires proof that I have met the 2 year stay in Canada in 5 year period. Once in Canada, I have been told that even if the Canadian PR card expires, the status does not expire and the person is still considered a PR.
