Hi,
apologize i know this has been discussed over and over again, I did search but couldn't really find a similar case.
in march my PR card is going to expire, by then iam gonna be short of a year to meet the residency obligation (4 years out of Canada). I am in full time job here in canada with a big Canadian company, if that worth mentioning.
I have learned that I could stay in Canada and wait until I collect the 2 years in the 5 years and then apply for the PR card renewal. the renwal takes about 6 months. that means that I wont be able to leave the country until 1.5 years after March 2012.
i cant really do this, I need to travel to visit my parents for couple of weeks at least a year.
what are my possibilities here? is it possible to switch to a work visa to spare that headache of the PR obligation? I want to keep my job and be able to go for vacation. I thought of having my parents visiting me here but that wont work since when they apply for the Visa, my PR obligation might be check.
thanks for your help.
