Hi Leon,
Our PR card is due for renewal on 29th October 2013. We entered the country on 24th Sep 2008. Due to UK work commitments as we run our own event company and due to world down turn have been unable to sell. We have been in Canada for Winters and UK for summer to earn the pennies. Good jobs hard to come by where we settled in Canada.
Is the 5 years from your entry date into Canada or PR card renewal date?
do the days you fly out and fly in count as a whole day?
As of 24th Sep I will be 4 days short of 730 but my partner is 100 days over! In the last 5 years we also had our little girl in the UK in 2010 (she now has Canada Residency) and our little boy in November 2012 in Canada so he has Canada passport.
As we are getting close to selling our company we are looking to return to canada this fall and fingers cross stay put! I have read quite a few of your other posts and totally understand its all on the excite 730 days and the 5 year window starts from date your forms get sent in. As you can see I am so close! Would you recomend I entre canada before 24th September 2013 and thus make the 730 before the 5 years of entry or could I stretch it until early October (due to work commitments)? If i wait until October I know i will then stay under the radiar until i have 730 to then apply. My partner will be heading back 18th September to work on his business in BC which he has alrday started. I will travel with our kids either then or early October.
Any advice would be amazing as confused, restricted due to work and scared i could be denied entry.
cheers clare
