she can leave right away without residency card (she would need a travel document) or she can leave after getting residency card.
NO issues as long as she is going for short time and not too long.

Check if her COPR says "condition 51". If not, there are no restrictions on the amount of time she can leave, as long as she meets her PR residency requirements.

 

[Jdub15]

ok because I was just reading if you have been married under 2 years which we are you must stay in Canada for 2 years.

 

[Jdub15]

and how do you check "COPR "condition 51"

 

[Aquakitty]

and how do you check "COPR "condition 51"

Look at it, there is a line called "conditions".

 

[canadianwoman]

Even if she has Condition 51, she can still leave Canada. If you are with her, time spent outside Canada counts as time in Canada for the condition, and for the residency requirements.

Condition 51 does not require you to live in Canada for 2 years. It requires you to live together for 2 years; it can be anywhere in the world.

 

[Hasan9999]

You have to stay 2 years out of every rolling 5 years to keep the residency status but time spent together with your citizen spouse outside Canada will also be counted towards your residency requirement.

 

[Regina]

Canada will also be counted towards your residency requirement.

No, it will not. If only a Canadian spouse is in the Army/Navy, government officer abroad OR works in the Canadian company abroad.

But it will count towards "condition 51".

 

[Ponga]

No, it will not. If only a Canadian spouse is in the Army/Navy, government officer abroad OR works in the Canadian company abroad.

But it will count towards "condition 51".

What are you talking about?

If the sponsor is a Canadian citizen and is abroad with the PR, each and every day will count towards the RO.

 

[Regina]

If the sponsor is a Canadian citizen and is abroad with the PR, each and every day will count towards the RO.

Yes and no.

In order to sponsor, you must…
live in Canada or provide evidence, if you are a Canadian citizen living outside of Canada, that you will live in Canada once the person you are sponsoring becomes a permanent resident.

Regina. You should really refrain from posting incorrect information on pretty much every thread.
