Permanent Residency Obligation

I would like that no citizen of the state feels alone and helpless. The entire nation is with them. - Atal Bihari Vajpayee, PM India

What is the Permanent Residency Obligation ?

As per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, a Permanent Resident must stay in Canada for 730 days out of every five years to maintain the status as a permanent resident. This is known as a permanent residency obligation.

If a person fails to meet the residency obligation, a person may lose the status of the permanent resident, but the person does have an opportunity to justify to immigration appeal division through trial or alternative dispute resolution why a person may be allowed to stay in Canada as a permanent resident.

An applicant who receives a letter from Immigration for not meeting their residency obligation does have a right to appeal at Immigration Appeal Division within 60 days from the decision made.

Depending on each case, the applicant may consider the pathway of a trial at the Immigration Appeal Division or an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).

Permanent Residency Obligation Appeal Process and Solutions

The trial at Immigration Appeal division

In the event of where sponsor chooses to apply for a hearing then a court like a setup (hearing) is organized and on the day of the hearing, all parties involved in cases may participate. The minister of the division has the power to decides that hearing’s outcome.

Alternative Dispute Resolution at Immigration Appeal Division:

In the event of where sponsor chooses to apply for Alternative Dispute Resolution then an informal meeting between the applicant, applicant’s counsel, the Minister’s Counsel, and Immigration Appeal Division officer is established. This meeting is to communicate the case, clarifying the issues and motivate both parties to concur on a decision.

In the situation of where both parties do agree on one decision, then there is no need for a hearing.
If both parties do not agree on the decision, then there is a need for a hearing.

Important Note:

Applicant must take timely decision to proceed for either trial at Immigration Appeal Division or an Alternative Dispute Resolution within 60 days. Otherwise, a person loses the right to appeal or alternative dispute resolution at Immigration Appeal Division.
