I have a few questions and I will be very much glad if experienced forum members can enlighten me on the following issues. firstly, a little background will help provide some insight;
Landed in Canada - July 2016
PR card expiry - July 2021
Expected total duration of stay in Canada for my self (by PR card expiry) - 2 years plus
Expected total duration of stay in Canada for my wife (by PR card expiry) - 6 months (if she migrates with me to USA for my 3 year job contract starting this summer)
we have a small kid (Canadian born)
My questions are as follows;
1) Is my spouse permitted to stay outside Canada (with me during my 3 years away in the USA) with the possible risk of not fulfilling the accumulated residency days needed for PR renewal?
......... if answer is NO, what is the best solution I can take now going forward?
......... if answer is YES, what steps can I take now that won't hinder her renewal for PR card in the future?
2) For my wife, If minimum residency days (730) are not acquired by end of PR card expiry by July 2021, can she reside in Canada beyond the expiry date on her PR card till she accumulates 730 days?
............ if answer is YES, how is the counting towards 730 days done at this stage?
3) Does having a Canadian citizen child provide a "safety net" for a stay in Canada, should in case the PR status is under threat of being cancelled/revoked?
4) Can a person still be admissible into Canada even if his/her valid PR card is very close to its expiry e.g couple of days or weeks?
Thank you very much while I anticipate your responses.
