HI everyone I'm a silent reader and grateful for all the advice and encouragement being passed around....keep it up!!
Im a July applicant and had a quick question to senior members: when pr is issued, and the applicant lands in Canada to get stamped, do they have to live in Canada from that moment on? I understand within five years you have to live for 2 yrs minimum to keep your pr status, but are there any other rules that apply? Someone told me he has only 6 months from landing as pr in Canada to start living there..is that true? Why I'm asking is my husband whom I applied for has been offered a job in another country, so we're debating once his pr is issued whether to take that job for 1, 2 years max and then settle in Canada. Tried to research on the website but couldn't find any clear info.
If anyone knows info on this, It would be great! Thanks
if u r a PR holder as a sponsor, u cannot stay out for a long time. that will bring problem for residency obligation count for ur sponsoring person. if VO comes 2 know that u r staying outside of the country for a long duration, ur PR can be revoked too! u need to be physically present 730 days of 5 years to meet the residency obligation. so 2 be precise, being a PR, stepping out of the country for a long time means u r risking ur status here!
if u r a citizen as a sponsor, u can step out of the country and the sponsored person can accompany you as well. this will be added to the residency obligation number only if u r ACCOMPANIED BY SPOUSE! *NO OTHER RELATION*
u need to show proofs that u were staying together outside to meet residency obligation for ur sponsored person.
