FBI PCC

Opening Package - April-1-2015
Processing - Mar-24-2015.

Thanks. I was thinking why they were opening the packages of 23rd march for 3 days or so due to which i thought it might take more time for processing them too. Good that it moved further now at least and not much delay on processing 23rd Mar applications.

Hello Experts,

I have a quick question. I got my passport back with the Canadian PR last month with the expiration of Feb 2016.

Do I have to do anything from my side between the time now and landing in Canada.

I have also applied for US Permanent residency which I am very hopefully to get in few months. Is there anyway I can save both my Canada PR and my US residency?

Any advise would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Canada PR - If you need to retain the PR then you need to land before the expiry. So nothing needs to be done till landing.
US PR - Which stage have you filed? 485 filed or already on EAD?

Both PR rules are making the candidate stay in the respective countries to retain residency. May be you can stay in border to maintain partial days in one and more days in second and renew your PR visa in one but i think it will be complex for the other one to get minimum required citizenship days. So it will be difficult unless one spouse maintains residence in separate countries to get individual different citizenship and start the the other PR respectively separately.

Thanks HarirajMohan.

Canada PR - Can I just make one day visit to Canada before Feb 2016 and come back to USA and maintain the Canadian PR? I would worry less at this moment for the Canadian citizenship.
US PR - I am currently on H-1B but about to apply for my 485 in about a week or so.

I guess my intent is to at least have a backup plan if my US PR doesn't workout. I don't want to lose the opportunity of moving to Canada.

Hope the clarification helps.

If you are at 140 stage and also on H1 then its easy to maintain Canada PR by staying at the border in canada and work in US by travelling everyday. But if you are going to file 485 then your lawyer only will tell you to be in US because your status is going to change from non-immigrant to immigrant status. So its tough buddy.

Canada entry - Yes, you can enter and get your COPR (confirmation of PR) and make your PR card application and have the card mailed to some address there so that you can reenter. I still have doubt on this as i too have same question below to our experts .

Experts,
"Can we just enter and stay for 1-2 weeks, apply for PR card, come back to US, get the card mailed to friends address in Canada, friend ships the card, and now can we reenter?" Or should we need to wait in Canada till we get our PR card?
