Loss of Permanent Residence Status
There are a number of ways that permanent residence status can be lost.
Permanent residents risk losing their status if:
- they have not spent
enough time in Canada - see
residency
requirement;
-
they are convicted of a crime - see
criminal
conviction;
-
they have not complied with a
condition under which they
obtained their
status, such as entrepreneurs who fail to open a business as they
promised - see
breach
of condition;
- they obtained status by relying upon a misrepresentation - see misrepresentation.
If an officer or a Board member does determine that a person has lost their permanent residence status, there is usually an opportunity to appeal that decision to the Immigration Appeal Division (unless the loss of status is due to a serious criminality). If a person is determined not to be a permanent resident, and does not make an appeal, then the decision becomes final.
