Hi ladies and gents, hoping for a bit of advise.
I got my PR (spousal family class) in May, however about 2 weeks ago my girlfriend and I split up (OK, she dumped me) and I've subsequently moved back to England with my tail thoroughly between my legs. I didn't have a good enough job or enough mates in Toronto to justify moving into a crappy studio in the arse crack of the city on the money I was on, and frankly I was pretty devastated.
When I was issued my PR it was conditional on us living together for 2 years from the date of my PR being issued (May 2015). My questions are basically:
- how well is this 2 years tracked by the CIC when it comes to the end of it and they would be looking at my regular PR? I imagine if I re-entered in May the border agent would be asking why I was gone for a 6 month period etc.
- if I want to be honest with the CIC about the relationship breakdown etc should I just be letting this 2 years expire, or is it in any way my interest to contact them now? Basically, would I be penalised for any future border entries even as a tourist for not informing them?
Reason I'm asking is that I don't know if I really fancy living in England after Toronto was awesome, and also that I have $2000 of Air Canada credits to use before August 2016 which cannot be transfered or refunded, so don't want to rock up at a border then to be refused entry.
