Meeting Residency Requirements for Permanent Residents of Canada
Maintaining residency requirements is a critical aspect of maintaining one’s permanent resident status in Canada. Although most individuals may be aware of the general rule that a permanent resident must be physically present in Canada for at least two of each five year period, there is a lot of confusion surrounding the rules. This often results (often needlessly) in the loss of permanent resident status. Mark & Company can assist you in:
Assessing residency and how to deal with maintaining residency requirements
Applying for permanent resident cards
Applying for Travel documents (if you are outside of Canada)
Obtaining Canadian Citizenship
