Got reported 44(1)

[anuom]

Hello,
I got reported 44 (1) and was told that I would get a call from the superintendent.
I got my PR in Feb 2023, couldn't move to Canada because I had started a course before I got the PR card. I couldn't just leave it and move because I had spent money (most of my savings).
I finished the course and planned on moving on March 2026 but due to some personal issues I couldn't do it, and moved back this month, yesterday.
I have rented a place before with th intention of commuting from Windsor to Detroit and have done so a couple of times. But the days spent in Canada doesn't cover the obligations.
I genuinely want to be here and get the citizenship. I am single women, 37 years old and I am not very confident about getting this chance again, if I choose to reapply for the PR.

What are my options and chances of continue my stay!?

What are my options and chances of continue my stay!?

No-one can realistically give you an estimate, apart from vague 'not too bad' or other language - precision is not possible. (Personally my choice of words would be 'decent' chances, but I won't try to quantify, apart from saying that you are not very far out of compliance with the residency obligation). Your chances are better than zero, and less than 100%.

But the real decision point is this: you say you are concerned you may not have chances via applying again, and given age and current state of programs, it's a VERY valid concern.

Therefore, stay and try to ride it out.

Now things you can do:
-Prepare in case the supervisor (or really just another officer acting as 'Minister's Delegate'. or MD) calls and wants to ask more questions and/or invite you for an interview.

Things to prepare: you are vague above about your history (no need to go into all details in this forum), but arrange your thoughts and story to be brief and hit the main points. EG: had started course of study and needed to complete that for employment purposes; personal issues (summarize each and list) delayed you further, but you came as soon as you realistically could. (If any of these are unavoidable personal - death in family, health, whatever - have documentation ready just in case).

Otherwise: you're serious and you have moved and you are here to stay. Employment in Canada would be a positive. Having rented a place before you moved in Windsor is not a strong point on its own, but IS supporting evidence that things 'beyond your control' prevented and your seriousness (you wouldn't have rented an apartment if you hadn't intended to use it).

[Note: lots of opinions here on what type of reasons 'count'. My opinion: ignore that discussion mostly - you can't change the facts. The MD will (indeed 'must') listen to and consider your reasons in context - they just may or may not give some of your reasons much weight in the consideration.]

It would not hurt to write things down, mainly for your organization and memory, but also for use in event of appeal later. As with any interaction like this: try to be specific, but concise - they usually don't want a Russian novel, but the bullet point version. (Don't annoy them by going into a lot of detail they haven't asked for - but do provide any detail they ask for)

It's also possible it will take some time before you hear from them, and being 'settled' in Canada is a positive.

Final two thoughts:
1) I don't have an opinion on seeing a lawyer or whether it's worth it at this stage.
2) If the person who does this does not agree with your reasons, you'll have a chance for an appeal, which will take some time, and you can work etc while that goes on (and the extra time in Canada won't formally be 'counted', can still strengthen your case to remain as settled). That is a stage at which a lawyer's assistance likely should be seriously considered.

I'm sure others will have more useful input though.
