So I am currently working on my application form to renew the PR card, I have few question right now and I would appreciate if any one can give me answers.

1.Place you became a permanent resident of Canada? City/Port of Entry: Province:
Where should I find the answer?

2.For the address history. So the first three day after we landed, we lived in my friends house, does that address count? Should I also write it in the application form?

3.For section F, we are asked to sign our name, date, city and province. If I am writing this application in China, the city and province should be China or Canada?

Appreciate if any one could help :)

1) Find the answer in your landing paper! You can look up a map to figure out which province the city/port of entry locates.
2) Skip your friend's address;
3) Canada - the application must be originate from Canada!

It should say on your PR card in which city you landed on the back. It also has your landing date.

You may even REMEMBER where and when you landed.. for most people this is an important event in their lives..

How do you not remember where you landed? Find your immigrant visa and see the stamp next to it, it may show the port of entry. COPR also normally shows a code of the port of entry you landed in. Call CIC and give them that code, they should know.

Hi team.

I have few questions regarding PR Card renewal form. Please help me out in this :

1. In Q20 (Work and Education History), If we are self Employed, what details do we need to provide for self-employment? Do we really want to attach the income tax filed for our incorporation to CRA or any documents we got from Industry Canada after registering our incorporation.? I have a registered Incorporation but I never worked for that one. I always file zero income tax for my incorporation since its incorporated 3 years back.

2. I am working currently from the last 4 years. But in these 4 years i went to my home country for 5 days. Do I need to disclose in work and education history that i remained in my home country as UNEMPLOYED for 5 days ?

Please reply. Thanks and regards

Do you have multiple companies? If you only have one company that has zero income and you are self-employed that means you have zero income.

The 5 day trip is considered a vacation from your job not unemployment.

Hi canuck78
Thank you very much for ur reply. Please one more question. I have worked from november 2015 till november 2016. In this time, i stayed in my home country for 5 months and 3 weeks. But wen i left the company they give me experience letter which clearly mentions that i worked with them for 1 year.
Should i fill those 5 months and 3 weeks as unemployed in pr card renewal form in work and education history. Please advise.
Thanks and regards

Were you working for that 1 year and have proof that you were working remotely like pay stubs? If you were not working then you were unemployed.

Toronto - No doubt. You can check this on the back side of your PR card.

Sorry that was a stupid question infact I was mixing it with the initial port of entry selected before landing, I realize later that it ment the port stamp done by CBSA.
Thanks for your input though

I had a question...i came here through the Quebec Skilled Worker program. Is there a requirement that in order to renew & maintain permanent residency status (while residing anywhere in Canada), one has to at maintain at least 2/5 years in Quebec itself?. I already spent little more than 10 months in montreal before shifting to toronto.

Any advice or guidance on this matter is really appreciated.

Thanks
