Temporary Staying options in Canada for PR obligations

[rbhattacharjee]

Hello All,
I had to move to Seattle recently from Canada, and i still have to complete 4 months in the next 3 years to have a valid PR. I was thinking of driving to vancouver on friday and driving back monday morning to count 4 days, however, doing that on weekends and staying over in Hotels/Airbnbs is looking to be a very constly affair.

Outside of having family in Vancouver, how else do any of you doing the same stay over for weekends in order to complete PR days?

Thank you!

If you want to spend time in Canada, you need to pay for accommodation in some way.

If you are planning to do that for a relatively long period of time (like a year), then it maybe less costly to rent a place (3 night a week is not cheap for hotel).
Also if you don't care about entertainment or life on the weekend, you can find a place near the border that's in the suburb instead of IN Vancouver.

Nothing in or near Vancouver is going to be cheap.

Don't stay in Vancouver. Pick a small town.

Why not drive your RV, park and live there while you are in Vancouver?

Maybe buy a used camper or VW bus? Make it a REAL adventure!

Oh wait...forgot that gas is ~$10 per imperial gallon here.
{looks like @steaky beat me by a nano second, LOL!]

There are costs associated with wanting to retain your status in Canada. Always an option to give up your status.
