1. Maintain Residency Obligations, 2 years in every 5 year period.
2. Yes, inform employer about status, and that you will be applying for a new SIN number, has to be done on line these days. \
3. Yes.

  1. As a new PR not. You should have received a booklet explaining your PR status. They give it to everyone when doing the landing
  2. When you do your landing they'll request any work/study permits and they'll keep them. Of course you don't need any permits anymore.
  3. No, when it expires and you renew it that's when you'll use your PR documents to do so.
  4. Of course, you need to get a new SIN (a permanent SIN with no expiration date) - - > and yes inform your employer and provide new SIN to them.
