Residency Obligation Appeals 

At Anwari Law PC, our Toronto, Ontario immigration lawyers assist permanent residents who are facing issues related to Canada’s residency obligation requirements. If your permanent resident status is at risk because you have not met the required time in Canada, you may be able to appeal the decision before the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB).

What is a Residency Obligation Appeal?

Permanent residents must meet Canada’s residency obligation, which generally requires them to be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days within a five-year period. If immigration authorities determine that this requirement has not been met, a decision may be issued that could result in the loss of permanent resident status.

A Residency Obligation Appeal allows you to challenge this decision and request that your permanent resident status be maintained.

Who Can File a Residency Obligation Appeal?

You may be able to file an appeal if:

• You are a permanent resident of Canada

• Immigration authorities determined that you did not meet the residency requirement

• You received a removal order or residency obligation determination

• You file your appeal within the required deadline
