Hello my sister,

A am a Nigerian and applied in 2007 as well. the waiting time could be frustrating but if you have sumtin doing, it is worth while.

They have recently written me to confirm if am still interested in immigratin to Canada. I believed they want to start processing my form (laugh). you can get me on muriotun@yahoo.com to discuss better.

abisola,the process was very slow,at a pt i actually wanted to pull out but God just made me go all the way to the end.i was in canada briefly but am now in naija to sort things out be4 moving finally.i guess u should just focus on whatever u are doing now x make money cos u will need some good cash.

Hey 'Biola, not true. You will have to stay till you get your PR Card which takes about 4 weeks, last time I checked. That's what will allow you "move around". By move around, i assume you mean the ability to travel in and out of Canada.

On the other hand, if you have someone in Canada whose address you can use, you can have the PR Card sent there when it's ready, thus allowing you to leave sooner... The person will have to mail you your card so you can re-enter Canada....

.... but all this is information that you won't need for a while if you sent in your application within the past 2 yrs to the accra office (according to other people's time lines).


Good luck though!.... and like you said, just take your mind off of it and do fun things while you wait...

 

[soj]

abisola,i totally agree with kaycee,u just ve to make two years out of five years so as to be eligible for renewal of pr card.

 

[Abisola]

Thank kaycee n soj,but soj,i don't know what u mean by 2 yrs out of 5 yrs,pls shed more light.
Thanks

 

[soj]

abisola,ur pr card will be issued for a period of five years,out which u must be physically present in canada for a period of two years.this is the requirement for renewal of ur pr card.cheers

Yeah, you have to live in Canada at least a total of 730 days (2 years) in any 5 year period to keep your PR status. After you get your PR card, you can leave right away but as soon as you reach the mark of being outside Canada for total 3 years in the first 5 year period, your PR status is gone.

 

[Abisola]

Thank you, but is it 2 yrs at a stretch or d total amount in 5 yrs at different times?

 

[KayCee2]

The total amount of 730 days in 5 yrs... So, you can break it up however you please...
