Permanent residency is a type of visa .... Below is what you quoted:

 

 

Permanent residency refers to a person's visa status. The person is allowed to reside indefinitely within a country of which he or she is not a citizen. A person with such status is known as a permanent resident.

 

Also note that PR needs to be reapplied for every few years .... I think it is every 5 years in Canada

It is an immigrant visa that gives you unlimited stay and freedom to work and live. What I am commonly referring to as "visas" are non-immigrant visas which give you limited stay for a previously stated purpose (work, leisure, medical). You are expected to be in the country only as long as the stated purpose is being served. For example, in US, H-1B is for working, B1/B2 for tourism or business related activities.

Why do you need to reapply it if you are living in Canada? What happens if you exceed 5 years and do not reapply? I do not believe that you need to renew anything if you were just living in Canada. You might have to renew your travel document if you left the country.

Dude, you need to expand your understanding before you walk in to discuss something. It is not what you believe but what is required by law

 

PR status is itself valid for 5 years

 

Residency Obligation:

• You must have lived in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) out of the last 5 years if you have been a permanent resident for 5 years or more. OR
• You must show you will meet the 730 days of physical presence in Canada during the 5 years from the date you became a permanent resident, if you have been a permanent resident for less than 5 years. 

 

HOW DO I LOSE MY PR STATUS?

• You do not meet your residency requirements of being physically present in Canada 2 out of every 5 years;
• You are convicted of a serious crime and ordered deported from Canada;
• You become a Canadian citizen.

So how many people you know stayed out of US for 10 years and still re-entered the country on Green Card? 

 

 

Please google the term - "permanent" and "residence" and add them together .... You would get that visa to reside in the country, therefore most of the countries (because I do not know the laws of every country on the planet) would require you to reside in the country for some amount of time 

 

Bhai, I am not arguing with you but only informing you .... I don't even know who you are! 

 

 

1. Lets just say that I have not known anybody who has a Green Card and denied entry because of not meeting residence requirements. Even your Canadian website says that you do not lose your PR just because you did not meet the minimum stay requirements

Losing your permanent resident status

Losing your permanent resident status does not happen automatically. You cannot lose your permanent resident status simply by living outside of Canada long enough that you don’t meet the residency requirement. Unless you have gone through an official process, you have not lost or given up your permanent resident status, even though you may not be eligible to return to Canada as a permanent resident.

 

2. I just googled it for you and provided you the definition, which did not state any minimum stay requirements.

 

3. One does not have to know another, your history on this forum suggests that you may not accept the counter argument even if sufficient evidence exists to prove the same.

• You do not meet your residency requirements of being physically present in Canada 2 out of every 5 years;
• You are convicted of a serious crime and ordered deported from Canada;
• You become a Canadian citizen.

Notice that not renewing your PR Card is not on this list. However, you do have to prove to immigration authorities that you are maintaining your status, and a PR Card is the best proof of status you can have. In other words, it is not legally necessary, but it is very convenient to have a PR Card to ensure that immigration authorities (as well as provincial authorities such as health care regulators) remain convinced of your status as a permanent resident.

 

Also notice that if you do not meet your residency requirements, your loss of PR status is NOT automatic. Rather, there is a process that you must you go through before your status as a permanent resident is lost. As CIC states, unless you have gone through an official process, you have not lost your permanent resident status. You may not be eligible to return to Canada as a permanent resident, however, if you are living abroad when you fail to meet your residency requirements.

 

The process involves a consideration of humanitarian grounds as mentioned above, and will include the possibility of appealing to the Immigration Appeal Division. Only after the Immigration Appeal Division rules against your appeal, or you fail to file an appeal with them, is it the case that you lose your permanent resident status.

 

In other words, you might not meet the residency requirements, but still have valid PR status until your appeal is denied. The moral of the story: do not confuse PR status with your PR Card. They are not the same, even if they are linked to each other.

Dude, you need to read before you hit reply.

 

Read my original post and I will make the font bigger if your eyes are having a hard time reading the font at that size.

If I was living in Canada on a permanent residence status, why do I need to renew anything? Only if I stepped out of Canada, I need to prove that I still have ties to Canada that retains my status. This is not similar to the one you were claiming as PR for India. Even if the beneficiary of that visa in India does not leave India, he/she still needs to request for extensions.

Even though you live in Canada, you have to renew your PR status as you have to continue to meet the following criteria:

 

Residency Obligation:

• You must have lived in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) out of the last 5 years if you have been a permanent resident for 5 years or more. OR
• You must show you will meet the 730 days of physical presence in Canada during the 5 years from the date you became a permanent resident, if you have been a permanent resident for less than 5 years. 

 

I.e. you have to show that you are continuing to meet the requirements 

 

To me it appears as if you are getting info out of me to reside in Canada. If so just ask properly

Yes, I needed Shaun Tait to get his OCI card to subvert the topic and get info for Canadian residency from an anonymous poster. You got me! 

 

By the way, you stepped into the argument having no clue about Indian visas and permanent residence. Next time, try doing your research before you hit Reply.

You missed the sarcasm 

 

I can see the research you did and your understanding of the term permanent residence
