Hi, I applied and received Canadian PR a few years back but couldn't move to canada due to family circumstances. I am now able to move to Canada and start working there, but my PR card will expire in 2024 and I won't be able to meet 730 day requirement to to renew my PR card. What options do I have? I tried to research online but couldn't find conclusive answers. #canada #pr
Your entry is subject to border agent's discretion. All you have to do is convince them that you had genuine reasons for not being able to move earlier. Maybe you will be lucky and they will be kind given the pandemic and everything. If they let you in, don't leave country for 730 days,apply for renewal of card, and then you should get renewal.
That's what my immigration lawyer said too. But it helps to consult with a professional to see what you can do to convince the border agent that you are admissible. Just be prepared to not leave Canada until you meet the 730 day requirement.
They cannot stop a PR at border even if residency obligation is not met. But agent will likely mark your case for investigation and your PR might be revoked later after that investigation concludes. During this investigation, you can provide evidence that you tried to come to Canada but there were circumstances beyond your control and ask for PR extension on humanitarian grounds (I assume that would be most relevant since you mentioned family situation). But it would be an uphill battle based on what I have heard
Yeah, tell them that you were stuck because of the pandemic.
Don't move, stay in the US until you get another renewal.
You will likely lose your status when you touch down Canada. Border agents have the authority to check and revoke status if you’re not meeting the 730 day timeline. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. One of my friends was in a similar situation. He voluntarily renounced his PR.
What is the advantage in voluntarily renouncing? Can’t you just let it expire?
Did you go to Canada.. were you allowed.. My pr card will expire on 10 March 2026 and I m not in Canada. I did a soft landing on 2021 and have stayed in Canada from 10 March 2021 to 03 April 2021... Can I still go.. Will I be allowed
You neeed to travel back in time and move to Canada at an earlier date
