Hi everyone,
I am very worry about my situation in the current PR card renew application, and I believe I did not make a smart move, how can I fix it?
:-\ Situation:
Sep2017 would be the time that I landed for 5 years, and also the time when my PR card expires. I did not live in Canada from Sep 2012 to May 2015. From May 2015 until now, I was hired by a Canadian company and got sent to their supplier factory in China to do quality control tasks, the job is a full time job and I have been paying tax in Canada since I was hired.
I see that my PR card is expiring soon, so when I was reporting work in Canada in early July 2017, I submitted the renewal application. I submitted the document as instructed by the official guide:
1) Application form
2) check list
3) Passport copy(photo page only)
4) PR card copy
5) T4 of 2015 and 2016
6) NOA of 2015 and 2016
7) Employment contract (expires in 2018)
8 ) Job offer letter
9) A letter from the employer (stating the my status in the company, and that i was sent abroad to perform duties, and the company & job was not set up just to let me meet the residency requirement)
10) NOA of the company 2016
11) Business registration copy
12) Annual assessment of my job performance 2016
13) communication email showing the supplier agreed with the employer to place me at their production site in China
14) Photo
After reading some articles in the internet, I learned that IRCC is being very strict to applicant who were present in Canada less than 2 years, and they will not just issue the new pr card to me without a very detail investigation on my job placement in China that I used it to fulfil the residency requirement.
My company source molding parts from China, and my job is to station at their supplier production site to ensure the quality of these components meet the standard before shipment. I issue report after the inspection and save the file. I do not have much written communication record with the company in Canada. I am worry that if I am getting the questionnaire, I won?t be able to give much more evidence to prove my job existence and lead to a refusal.
:
Side information that may/may not help:
a) I bought a place in Canada and planning to physically live there after my PR card is renewed, the closing date of the place is in Mid Sept 2017 (just before my PR card expires)
b) I got married in Sep 2016 in Canada, with a non-resident (we met in Hong Kong and we are living in HK now), we plan to move to Canada after my PR card is renewed, so that I can sponsor her
Questions:
In your opinion?
1) Will I be refused straightway without asking to attend interview or to fill in questionnaire?
2) If not the case in 1) I know I will be definitely ask to attend interview, but what would be the chance for me to get the questionnaire too?
3) What is chance that they send my application to local office (I heard is more strict), and where is ?local office? anyway?
4) Is it correct that if I do not respond to the interview and questionnaire request after 180days, my application would be "abandoned", and that means they will not proceed my application any further (not a refusal), and I can still physically live and work in Canada without problem (if I can get in to Canada), right? And after I am solidly living in Canada for 2 years, can I re-apply to renew my pr card again?
5) If I do not have confidence to convince them I am working abroad for the Canadian company and fails to fulfil the residency requirement, what is the best I can do now at this moment to avoid losing my PR status?
6) When I travel by private car from US to Canada, how do I tell the officer that I ?do not (expired)? have the PR card? I?m holding Hong Kong passport, so it?s visa free to enter Canada as visitor, can I claim I am a visitor? Will they know in the system that I am not? Bear in mind that I will also have an US entry stamp in my passport suggested that I landed in US just before I am trying to enter Canada, so they will have the ?why are you flying to US and enter Canada? And not directly flying to Canada?? in their mind. I am struggling to find the ?right? reason to explained to the officer at US/CA boarder. Can you help?
Sorry for all the details and long questions. I would be very grateful if anyone can provide some guidance. Thanks.
