I had PR since July 2016 (28 yrs) and choose to live abroad (India and then 1.5 years in the US, got my L1B in India in 2019 after Canada PR) till Sep 2020 (32 yrs – already out of obligation, they didn’t ask much). I came to Canada in Sep 2020 and lived in Canada until Jan 2022, however, living was hand to mouth, and haven’t found a job that was commensurate with my skills. I was earning good in India (INR 3,500,000 Base Salary CA$ 70,000 and then the US was also >US $120,000), however, had very big dreams in Canada where I started to work as Credit Advisor and merely made ends meet!

Now I was a 33-year-old man living frugally on CA$ 45,000 in Mississauga, however, in Sep 2021 I was offered a job in Ireland in the role of Senior Manager with a 6-figure salary. I have got Critical Skills Employment Permit in Dec 2021 and I returned to India in Dec 2021 to apply for a Type D visa from India (Mumbai). Given I will be on a Critical Skills Employment Permit in Ireland, would not meet residency obligations in Canada. Will that have any impact on my Visa Status in Ireland? I left Canada as I wasn’t getting any job there which was commensurate with my skills and experience in India and US and had been trying since July 2020 (or even before). Would Ireland ask why I decided to leave Canada in the future? Do I owe any explanation to Canada on leaving? Or will it be considered a visa refusal?
