Three ways for Canadian immigrants to keep their green cards

Method 1: Canadian companies enter overseas.

Theoretically, an immigrant applicant or spouse is employed by a Canadian company and assigned by the company to work in China, so the time that the immigrant applicant and spouse work in China can also be counted as the time of living in Canada, not the time of living in Canada. In the past, people who retained their permanent resident status in this way committed more frauds, and immigration officials investigated such cases very strictly. Therefore, the applicant needs to submit many supporting documents, such as the company's business license, accounting report, employment contract signed with employees, payroll, income tax bill, etc. And also explain the reason why the company sent abroad to work.

Method 2: Accompany Canadian spouse to live abroad.

According to the immigration regulations, when one spouse (such as a wife) obtains Canadian citizenship after living in Canada for four years, and the other spouse (such as a husband) is a permanent resident of Canada, he can accompany the Canadian spouse to go overseas from Canada and be exempted from living in Canada.

Method 3: regain immigration status through family reunion.

If a permanent resident of Canada cannot meet the above two conditions, that is, he/she is not an overseas employee of Canada and his/her spouse is not a Canadian citizen, the immigrant applicant can regain his/her immigration status by applying for family reunion after the expiration of the permanent resident status. There are two situations: first, the applicant's spouse holds valid Canadian permanent resident status and obtains immigration status through spouse guarantee; 2. The applicant 18-year-old children live in Canada and earn income from work, and obtain immigration status through child sponsorship. In both cases, because the applicant's information has been confirmed once before when applying for immigration, the process is much faster when the family reunion guarantee is passed.
