This is the only way your wife don't lossing her PR not because she is married with a Canadian citizen ..
NO....we were told by Canada Immigration. As long as she stays married to me she will never lose it her PR that is......You'd be correct if she left on her own...she can only be gone 2.5-3 years and then it's lost Sooo we are both kinda right.
Every second Canadian??? I don't know for that...My whole family is Anti-American....would explain a few things to some on this forum.
BTW...my wifes card says PERMANENT Resident....NO Expire Date!

OVM I am know iven if she divorce you she will be PR but if she don't living in Canada she will lost the PR...........Maybe you want to scare her not to divorce you..... she have her rights to divorce and stay PR of Canada but after 3 years she can applay for a canadina citicenship if she wants. Every one PR card it is only for 5 years I don't know how for your wife it is acceptian .............In usa it is 10 yeras regular GC and tempeorery it is only for 2 years . And I am said verey second canadian wants to live in USA like you to ........... it is nothing wrong every one have preferance .I like the both country and I am proud citizen of both ..........I things you have to go and read the canadaian immigration law and find out about your wife because if she don't reapplay for a new PR card she will lost everytning and need to spend a lot of money . And all unnesesery work .
Sorry Your wrong again...the US permanent resident card you don't have to re-apply ONLY the card needs to be renewed at 10 years.
Sorry again....I will repeat this one more time.....Her Canadian resident card does NOT expire in 5 years.... I was told this by a Canadian Immigration officer.
For your information she has had the same card for 8 years now.I guess it's true because like I said her card is 8 years old now.
Maybe because of your original country of birth, the rules might be different? i don't know. The immigration laws are weird. Eh??

OVM better you call and chek about this because somtning it is not right I nevar belive the people inthe border some of them are very young people and thay don't know everything all the time . When I comming to Canada thay size my Jeep because was a new and thay want me to pay $8350 and I pay but I know that the first time I have a right to bring everything with no charges , but one of this young said NO .....I do apilation in Ottawa and I win I get my money from the Canadian governamet , no lawyers involved only my letters and my rights. Then I open case in Human rights and I win againe I recived comapasation about $20 000 for bad experience with the border officers . I am not sure about this chek with a Immigartion.
The votes are in. Alborada is an expert on her opinion and OVM is an expert on his opinion. Each is happy with their own situation so you each win the imigration argument.
The ones at the border, Canada Customs sent us to Immigration....and they said what I told you.....wierd
Oops sorry bout that Terry you posted at the same time....
The End!

Turtle....The U.S. Permanent Resident Card expires in 10 years! And is renewable.
If its permanant how come one has to renew it????
If its permanant how come one has to renew it????
One thing about Immigration on BOTH sides of the border I have learned...There is minimum standards to meet and after that there is a lot of "Officer Discretion" An officer can wave off so much with a stroke of a pen. Meaning what works with one applicant will not necessarliy work with another. As in border crossings there's no uniformity.
Example of this discretion is....I did not have to do the 2 year temperary card BECAUSE they ruled that because I had a FAST Card for 3 years and precleared it wasn't necessary.
