Canadian Corner - December 2003
PERMANENT RESIDENCE CARDS (PR CARD) WILL BE MANDATORY FOR CANADA’S PERMANENT RESIDENCE ON DECEMBER 31, 2003.
PERMANENT RESIDENCE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BOARD A CARRIER TO CANADA OR ENTER CANADA ON DECEMBER 31, 2003 WITHOUT THE PR CARD.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
Just a quick note to remind Canadian landed immigrants that on December 31, 2003 the permanent resident card will be mandatory for permanent residents wishing to re-enter Canada aboard any commercial carrier (airplane, boat, train or bus).
Without the PR card, landed immigrants will not be able to enter Canada after December 31, 2003. The carriers will not permit landed immigrants to board without the PR card.
Immigration Canada has recently announced that landed immigrants who are presently out of Canada and do not have a PR card but plan to return to Canada on or after December 31, 2003, must visit a Canadian visa office overseas to obtain a one-time special visa.
If you have any questions about Canadian Immigration laws please contact Leonard Pearl at our Canadian office (lpearlvisalaw@sprint.ca or 905-764-8767).
