Introduction
Once given the status as a permanent resident, you can be allowed to move in and out of the country. However, there are certain criteria that you will need to meet to maintain your status as a permanent resident in Canada. The Canadian permanent residency Visa process could mean that such an individual would have to be in Canada soil for about 2 years within the period of every 5 years. The 5 years is issued by the IRCC (Immigration Refugees and citizenship of Canada), this bodied will monitor the duration of your stay in the country. With this, you will be given the chance to travel out of the country for about 3 years within the space of the 5 years. However, if such individual has been a permanent resident for less than the 5 years and decides to leave for a longer period, it is left to you to properly explain to the IRCC that will be able to meet up to the requirements.
If you are outside the country over an extended period, you can still get the Canadian permeant residency Visa process by following the due process:
- If you are traveling with or traveled with a Canadian spouse, or you are below the age of 19 and is traveling with a family member.
- If your position in the Canadian company requires you to constantly leave the country for a duration of time.
- If your partner or spouse is fully employed and needs to move outside the country.
Also, if you are already in Canada and an immigration officer states that you have not complied with or are not compiling with the requirements or regulations, then it is left to the immigration officer to send you out of the country. If you are not in Canada at the particular moment and you do not meet the certain obligation set by the country, then an immigration officer from abroad can issue you a letter stating that you have posted your permanent residency in the country. But you can apply for an appeal after been evicted, the appeal can be delivered between the first 60 days of the eviction. If you appeal, the immigration officer may consider you based on compassionate reasons before he/she makes any final decisions.
In other to maintain the permanent residential Visa process while moving out of the country based on reasons known to you, it is recommended that you inform the IRCC, before taking any actions. If you apply for citizenship the Visa process will be taken differently, the process will have to be that you will have to stay in the country for 3 years out of the 5 years, i.e. 1,095 days without any issues or fault. Also, you will not be given the citizenship if you fail to stay within said duration then you won’t be granted citizenship. Any advice is that you will always follow the obligations given to you in other to attain your permanent residency or better still your citizenship.
