Conditional Permanent Residency Question

[madubyk]

Hey guys,

I have just been accepted as a conditional permanent resident in Canada. The rule states that my spouse and I must live together for 2 years and then the conditions are removed. My husband and I are going to 2 different colleges and will spent 1/2 our time together in a shared lease apartment. He will have another apartment alone for the other 1/2 of the time.

After 1 year I was hoping to transfer schools across country without him WHILE remaining in a committed relationship.

Questions:

Does immigration ask you to prove you have been living together for those 2 years at some point?

Would school/ work be an exception to the "conditions" rule?

Should we both take my husbands parents Canadian address as our "permanent residence" and have all our mail sent there but still live elsewhere?

Thanks for any help.

1. IRCC is known to do random checks on couples after the applicant has landed as a PR. However they are pretty infrequent since they don't have enough resources to check up on everyone. My guess is that they will more likely follow up with applicants who had a few red flags in their application but was approved anyway. But I would imagine that even in those cases the likelihood of a followup visit is small. Usually the most common case for getting investigated is if someone reports you
2. No
3. I'm not sure if that will make any difference.

Technically, what you are proposing would violate Condition 51. The question is if IRCC will ever find out on their own. While I would guess that the odds are really low, no one can say for sure. Honestly they have more important things to work on....
