Hello Everyone,
I had visited Canada this year in April-May and returned back to Dubai to continue with my job. While in Dubai, I pursued further the PEO-Licensing process by sitting for the PPExamination on August 11th this year at the British Council. I am expecting the results (POSITIVE) to be posted on the 10th of this month.
I would then be granted a "Provisional License" status and would have to gain a years Canadian work experience in my regulated profession under a licensed Engineer.My PR Card validity is till 11th April 2013. I have been travelling in and out of Canada since landing in October 2008, though my wife and son stayed back and have applied for Citizenship quiete recently, having completed the minimum number of days needed for Citizenship.I have been filing/paying my taxes for the years 2008-2011 i.e. since my first entry into Canada in 2008. The most important/paramont motivation for me not to stay in Canada were the illhealth of my aging parents, dad was suffering from Dementia and passed away in 2010 and mom is in 4th stage of cancer and things donot look good enough for her to pull on for long with the condition of her deteriorating health. In early 2013 i.e. April , I would be ending my employment in Dubai and winding off for good,after which I intent to take my final flight into Canada. I had kept the Canadian Embassy in the UAE informed of my predicaments and did explain the same to the Immigration Officer in my most recent visit to my wife and son in April-May this year.It is just, off late there have been a number of articles on PR status being revoked or considered for being revoked of "non resident permanent residents" which has me worried....Would appreciate any words of advice/guidance from anyone....
