Re: Process once UK hubby gets Permanent Residence Papers

lol... thanks for the info, I was a tad concerned for a moment.

Glad to hear that the younger boys are coming over and I am sure that your kids will help his to integrate, find friends etc.

Just hope his 17 year old doesn't get a crush on your 17 year old daughter, lol!

Take care and hope it all goes smoothly...

Keep us updated!

LOL

I will be sure to keep everyone posted. So very excited it is our last holiday apart if all continues to go well

Having a hard time not being together. So lonely and frustrating!

Once his visa is activated and he obtains his Permanent Residency, he has to be in Canada for 2 out of the following 5 years to keep it. So after he "lands", he has to move and live in Canada within 3 years otherwise he can lose his PR.

He'll also be able to work as soon as he gets his SIN.

Days outside Canada as the spouse of a Canadian citizen normally should count as being "in Canada" for the purpose of retaining PR. But not for citizenship.

Only if you're with them. Which is not the case for the OP.
