Here is a summary of my status on the RO obligation. Apologies for the long post. Hope someone would chime in to answer the highlighted queries.
-First landed in Feb-2017,stayed for 6 days and moved out to Asia(had just taken up a new position before the PR came through).
-Transferred to Canada with previous employer -landed in end-Dec-'19.
Due to my preference to move out of QC (higher taxes, additional QC tax filing,French language obstacle to new jobs) have lived continuously at a few Airbnb sites.
-Total days outside since becoming PR: 1,056
-Total days inside since becoming PR: 746 and counting (should have close to 750 by the time I date & courier the renewal application)
Q1.Have printed out all of the following for the last 2 years: employer payslips,bank checking account & credit card statements, 2020 Federal & QC tax statement of accounts,all Airbnb receipts and ,email from accommodation provider (for employer-provided housing for 1st 2 months:End Dec-'19 to end Feb-'20)
To offset any queries around maintaining RO , would it help to attach all the above supporting documents to the renewal appln?
Q2.Address & travel history: As I stayed outside between early Feb-'17 and end-Dec-'19, do I have to detail all addresses & trips made when outside Canada ?
Address history in Canada: I do plan to detail all addresses stayed in Canada (including my current Airbnb booked until 1st week of June-'21).
Q3.-Will IRCC look down on me not signing a long-term house lease and staying in multiple Airbnb sites, despite the supporting receipts showing continuous days,addresses?
Q4.Renouncing PR-Incase the renewal gets delayed or is refused, would renouncing the PR atleast return some of the Federal/CRA taxes paid over 730+ days? How about individual provinces like QC that have their own tax authority (Revenue Quebec),filing requirements? Would renouncing Federal Skilled Worker also obligate/require agencies like Rev.Quebec to return paid provincial taxes paid by the PR renouncer? Did not receive any Federal, provincial aid/benefits over the 2 years.
Thanks again for reading through the long post and hope you would respond with your inputs.
