PR card
Hi all,
I received my residents status back in July 2001 and entered Canada as soon as i got this. I spent 2 years there although my problem lies in that I was just floating about travelling from one side of Canada to the other and staying with family. I am now married with a baby and we would like to try living in Canada for a while to see if we like it enough to move. As i worked hard and waited a long time for my status I would hate to lose it although my first 5 years is comming to an end in July. Is there any way or any loophole that would mean i could use an address within Canada and have someone there mail in my application for my PR card and can it be mailed out to you or have a representative go get it? Also am i going to face the 3rd degree when i try to enter Canada with regards have i met my residency obligation of 2 years in 5. How can i enter Canada when I don't have my new PR card? If i can get this card sorted at what point should i declare my change of marital status? With regards my wife, how difficult would it be for her to get a 1 year working visa? Would it help that she is a nurse? If any one can give me any help on these matters it would be much appreciated. |

You can enter as a visitor without a PR card, but I'm sure you already know that....If a PR card is granted you will have to collect it in person, with identification, from an Immigration office. They are not posted out as a precaution against fraud. |

Re: PR card
If i get the travel document then i am still going to have to apply for my new pr card when i get there and because they will have a record of this then they will know when i arrived back in canada after leaving back in 2003.
Where as if i just go on a return ticket they more than likely will just let me through and that way when i apply for my pr card they only have my word as to when i left and came back? does this make sense ? |
