Soft landing and receiving a permanent residency card

[Yardrep1]

one Thought would be to do a soft landing of perhaps two days or two weeks, and returning permanently at least ninety days after that. The permanent residency card would be received at reliable relatives (also the sponsors home address).

— Is this in any way against the rules? The purpose would be so that our children (who are Canadian citizens and not the applicants ) can complete their school year in their birth country.

— Are there any unresolvable potential problems such as the permanent residency card getting lost by Canada post, or the picture submitted with the family sponsorship application being somehow wrong and Immigration wanting a picture taken in Canada, or something else?

— finally the applicant will need to replace her passport at some point, they are only issued for in person applications in her home country. Would she be able to replace her passport during the period between her return after the soft landing and her later full move, or is the permanent resident travel permission document somehow valid only with the original passport ? (Does this document have her passport number on it?)


Thank you

You can do a soft landing and go back home. As long as you come back to Canada in time to keep the PR rules (2 years out of 5 in Canada)

Check the processing time for PR cards. If you or your relatives dont get it by then call IRCC. If the pics are not exactly as required they will tell you to submit new ones (yep happened to me..)

As far as I know there is no problem to get a new passport AFTER the landing. You can travel with your passport and PR card (so make sure your relatives will send it to you. Without it you wont be able to board the plane)

Hi, I have a question regarding the landing to confirm the PR status. I got an approval a month ago, and now I need to confirm my status. Can you please suggest the Canada and US immigration boards close to Ottawa?
Also, can you please suggest how long it usually take to get an appointment for landing interview in Ottawa? Thank you.
