Hi,
I have resided in Canada for 3 years now and have been working full-time with a Work Permit (PGWP). I have received my CoPR last month and am waiting to receive my PR card (possibly next month). Once I get it, I plan to quit my job and move back to India for a year. I have a few questions regarding immigration:
1. Can I move immediately after receiving a PR card? Or are there any restrictions on staying for a few days before leaving?
2. I believe I need to stay for around 2 years in the next 5 years in order to retain/extend my PR. Is that correct?
3. Do I need to inform CRA that I'm moving back even if it is only temporary (1 year)? If I don't, I may have to pay taxes in both countries, but if not, will it cause any legal issues?
4. Any list of items/tasks that I need to take care of, here in Canada, before I move to India?
All information and help is appreciated. Thank you!
