Residency Obligation – Visa Law Services

Permanent residents of Canada must meet residency obligations to maintain their PR status. If you fail to meet the required days in Canada, you may risk losing your permanent residency. However, there are legal ways to renew your PR card, respond to residency questionnaires, and appeal negative decisions.

At Visa Law, we provide expert legal assistance in residency obligation cases, PR renewals, and appeals to help you maintain your status in Canada.

📌 Residency Obligation Requirements

To maintain your permanent resident (PR) status, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) within the last 5 years.

✅ Days spent outside Canada may count towards PR status if:
✔ You were accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse or parent.
✔ You were working abroad for a Canadian employer.
✔ You had humanitarian or compassionate reasons for being outside Canada.

If you fail to meet residency requirements, your PR status may be revoked, but you have the right to appeal the decision.
