Permanent residents who receive a negative residency obligation determination may have a right of appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division. The calculation of days and any available exceptions or humanitarian factors require careful review.
What we examine
- The relevant five-year period and physical presence
- Accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse or qualifying parent
- Qualifying employment outside Canada
- Accompanying a permanent resident employed in qualifying circumstances
- Humanitarian and compassionate factors affecting retention of status
Travel history and supporting records should be reconstructed accurately before the appeal record is prepared.
