Residency Obligation Appeals\u00a0<\/h2>

At Anwari Law PC<\/strong>, our Toronto, Ontario immigration lawyers<\/strong> assist permanent residents who are facing issues related to Canada\u2019s residency obligation requirements<\/strong>. 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<\/strong> before the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB)<\/strong>.<\/p>

What is a Residency Obligation Appeal?<\/h3>

Permanent residents must meet Canada\u2019s residency obligation<\/strong>, which generally requires them to be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days within a five-year period<\/strong>. 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<\/strong>.<\/p>
