Hi,
This post is just to thank Leon and all others who contribute to this forum.
Heres my story -
Landed in March 2006 and left in 15 days. Moved to Canada in Feb 2010 with only 14 months left on the PR Card which expied in Apr 2011. Was about to apply for renewal based on the information provided by my immigration consultant and had completed the application but cam across this forum and decided not to apply till I had 730 days in Canada.
Applied on May 18, 2012 and my application was received on May 25. checked status online today and the CIC website says that the application has been approved on July 6 and I will receive a letter in the next 4 weeks to go to the local CIC office and collect the PR card.
Based on the advise from Leon and others, you guys have helped me retain my PR status. Thank you.
Now my question is what should I be wary off while picking up the card and any other advise on the process. Secondly, can this process be expedited as I plan to travel outside the country in August. Lastly, I will have completed the 3 years residency requirement by May 2013 and wanted to know if I should apply for citizenship in May 2013 or given the above, wait for another 3 years??
