Guest Peeves Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 The comments made by the mom and sister. The behavior of the dad against our allies. The murder of an ally by the son. They disgust me. I wonder just how much this family of 'Canadians' have cost us and, why they remain? Are they here just for the benefits? I can think of no other reason, can you? Besides, there are laws that to retain Canadian citizenship there are resident requirements. Hasn't Omar (at least) violated same? http://www.cp24.com/...family-1.977121 Father.

This is worth a post in one of the other two threads on this topic. It's not worth another thread. Then why did you bother. I think it's counterpoint to the one next to it. As for the immigration status. I guess I was thinking of the time frame while awaiting citizenship. http://canadianimmig...-keep-my-status " Answer: The best advice I can give you is to apply for Canadian citizenship before departing. Once you are a Canadian citizen, you can leave the country for as long as you like and will always be welcome back to Canada. As you have figured out, “permanent” resident status isn’t really permanent. Rather, it is “conditional.” And by conditional, I mean that if you don’t meet certain obligations under Canada’s immigration laws, you can lose your status and find yourself back in your country of citizenship."
