Where absences are significant or supporting evidence is missing, the process can become complicated, and an application for a new card may trigger loss of permanent resident status.

Permanent Resident Card Renewal – May 2014

Jacqueline, when I saw that CIC had finally reached a decision on the delayed permanent resident card renewal, I thought I would faint! The journey for  the PR card has been  nerve-wracking,  but you made it peaceful.  We could not have succeeded without your help and guidance. Thanks a million.

Permanent Resident Card Renewal – October 2012

I would like to thank you for your help and support.  I received my PR card this morning.  It would have not been possible without your professional assistance!  The important element of my case is my frequent business travel outside Canada and protracted absences.  I will keep track of my travels and will keep you posted. Based on my family travel plans and my business activity, I assume that we will become eligible for Canadian citizenship in March-April next year.  I truly hope that you will agree to continue assisting my family at that time too. Kind regards and thank you very much again!
