If you work for a Canadian employer while physically outside Canada, does that experience count as Canadian work experience for immigration purposes?

For programs such as the Canadian Experience Class, the location where the work is actually performed matters. Working for a Canadian company, being paid in Canadian dollars, or having a Canadian employment contract does not automatically make the experience Canadian work experience.

In this episode of ASK YOUR RCIC, Angela explains the important distinction between Canadian and foreign work experience and why the employer’s location alone does not determine how IRCC will classify your employment.

Your work may still be valuable for immigration purposes, but it may be assessed as foreign work experience depending on the circumstances and the immigration program involved.

Your start-up idea may have been innovative when your Start-Up Visa application was submitted. But is it still innovative today?

For many SUV applicants, permanent residence processing has taken years. During that time, markets change, technology evolves, competitors appear, and customer expectations shift. A business that once looked highly innovative may need to evolve in order to remain credible and relevant.

That is why staying incorporated is not enough.
A Start-Up Visa business should continue to show signs of genuine activity, a credible public presence, and ongoing development of the underlying business concept.

In this carousel, we highlight three important ideas:
• Maintain a genuine business presence in Canada
• Maintain a credible digital presence
• Continue developing and documenting your innovative concept

One of the most important reminders from this video is this:
reasonable, consistent progress is much stronger than artificial activity.

Can you sponsor your spouse for Canadian permanent residence if you are currently living outside Canada?

The answer depends on whether you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident.
Canadian citizens may sponsor their spouse while living abroad, but they must demonstrate that they genuinely intend to return to Canada and live in Canada once their spouse becomes a permanent resident.

Permanent residents are treated differently. If you are a Canadian permanent resident living outside Canada, you generally cannot sponsor your spouse until you are residing in Canada.
In this episode of ASK YOUR RCIC, Iryna explains this important distinction and why your immigration status and residence at the time of sponsorship matter.

Can giving birth in Canada help the parents obtain permanent residence?

The answer is no — not directly.
In most cases, a child born in Canada becomes a Canadian citizen at birth. However, having a Canadian-born child does not automatically give the parents permanent residence, a work permit, or legal status in Canada.

Parents must still qualify for permanent residence through an existing Canadian immigration program.
A Canadian-born child also cannot immediately sponsor their parents. The child would need to meet the applicable requirements in the future, including being at least 18 years old and meeting the requirements of the Parents and Grandparents Program in effect at that time.
Having a Canadian child may also be a factor considered in certain humanitarian and compassionate applications, depending on the circumstances, but it does not guarantee permanent residence.

Can you lose your Canadian permanent resident status if you spend too much time outside Canada?
To meet the PR residency obligation, you generally need to accumulate at least 730 days in Canada within the applicable five-year period.
However, certain days spent outside Canada may still count toward the residency obligation — for example, when accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse or common-law partner, or in certain circumstances involving qualifying employment outside Canada.
And if you do not meet the 730-day requirement, you do not automatically lose your PR status simply because you are short of the required days or because your PR card expires.
Depending on your circumstances, humanitarian and compassionate considerations may also be relevant.
If you are concerned about meeting your PR residency obligation, it is important to review your situation early — especially before renewing your PR card or travelling outside Canada.
