自2002年6月28日起，返加证将被废止。根据新法规定，已登陆成为加拿大永久居民的人在任何一个五年的时间段内必须在加拿大境内累计居住满730天（两年）。未满足此居住时间要求的人将失去其永久居民身份，除非：
- · 他们/她们的配偶或普通法伴侣是加拿大公民，且他们/她们是为了陪同该公民而在加拿大境外停留；
- · 他们/她们是被加拿大雇主雇用在加拿大境外从事全职工作；
- · 他们/她们的配偶或普通法伴侣是加拿大的永久居民且被加拿大雇主派往境外工作，他们/她们是陪同其配偶或普通法伴侣在境外停留；
RETURNING RESIDENT PERMITS
As of 28 June 2002, the Returning Resident Permit will be abolished. Under the new legislation, persons who have been admitted to Canada as permanent residents must spend a cumulative total of 730 days (two years) residing in Canada within any five-year period. Persons who do not meet this residency requirement lose their permanent resident status unless:
?their spouse or common-law partner is a Canadian citizen, and they are remaining outside Canada in order to accompany that person;
?they are employed on a full-time basis outside Canada by a Canadian employer
?their spouse or common-law partner is a permanent resident of Canada and is assigned to work outside Canada by a Canadian employer, and they are accompanying him/her;
?a visa officer is satisfied that the residency obligation should not apply for humanitarian reasons
The Embassy will continue to process applications for Returning Resident Permits until the new legislation comes into force on 28 June. If an application has been submitted but not finalised by that date, the file will be closed and the fee will be refunded to the applicant.
This change means that most permanent residents of Canada can return to Canada using their passport and their Record of Landing (i.e. IMM1000 or "Landing Paper"). It will not be necessary to contact the Embassy before leaving for Canada.
You will only need to apply to the Embassy for help in returning to Canada in the following circumstances:
?You have no Record of Landing, e.g. if your Record of Landing has been stolen, lost, or destroyed.
?You have a Record of Landing, and you wish to return to Canada to take up residence there within the next 60 days, but you are concerned that you do not meet the residency requirement. This will be the case only if you were landed more than three years ago and have not resided in Canada, or if you were landed longer ago than that, and have not acquired 730 days in Canada within the past five years.
If neither of these situations applies to you, or if you are not intending to return to Canada to live within the next 60 days, you can travel to Canada using your Record of Landing.
If one of these situations does apply to you, please contact us to apply for a Facilitation Travel Document.
The Embassy will continue to accept applications for Returning Resident Permits until 20 June.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
