We have received a letter from Canadian Immigration officer asking us to meet him personally for RRP as he feels we have not established a residence in Canada as yet. If we don\'t meet him our RRP will be denied. I presume that our PR will not be affected. I have also read that bill C-11 will be passed sometime in May and if it is passed we don\'t need a RRP. We cannot wait till May end as the officer has given us one month time which ends 3rd week of May.
Now my question: Should we go to meet the officer or let him reject the RRP application?
If we go how do we convince that we want to make Canada our PR?

Hi Rana,

Have you tried renting an apartment, applying for interviews for
jobs in Vancouver ? That might help , www.aptrentals.net is
a big help.

Also when did you apply for RRP ? and how long did it take for
the immigration to get back to you with the RRP response ?

Hi tt tt
We landed in February and applied for RRP in April. It took 3 weeks for them to reply.We have applied for jobs online but How can we prove that we have applied? Renting an apartment would be expensive if we are not going to live there.
Should we meet the officer or let them reject the RRP and wait for C-11
Thanks in advance

Hello Rana,

How about getting the cheapest apartment ( there is something
called as a basement on rent too ), you must have spent atleast
$2K to get the PR, not to mention the time put into researching
about it. a 1-2 month lease would prove your intentions and not
be so costly if you look at it from that point of view.
any chance of getting RRP because you have part time study
going on ..another MS/PH.d ?
any chance that your company in the US will give a letter that
you have not applied for US PR ?
as far as the C11 status is concerned, it is going to be
debated clause by clause in the standing committee of immigration
on may 15th, then it will be debated and voted on clause by clause
in the parliament, even after it is passed. it is not the law
until it has been "proclaimed and received royal assent" whatever
that means...that bill is atleast 6 months away from being the law.

Hi tt tt
Actually my husband has a committment with his employer till May 2001 and then we have to go to India to dispose of the property over there which will take atleast 4 to 5 months and this is reason we have mentioned for our RRP. But the officer\'s arguement in his letter is that my husband shouldn\'t have taken up the job last May . But this job offer was in 99 Dec. and the H1 transfer took 7 months till May 2000. What I was thinking is we should go to the officer and explain about the job offer in Dec 99( when we had just filed our application for Canadian PR). We had not explained this in our RRP application letter. Can you think of something else.
Give your thought.

I am no expert here but from what I have read around on the notice
boards and heard from the company lawyer is that work commitment is not considered
unless it is for a canadian entity ( ex. a canadian company
has sent you abroad for work ) otherwise if you have part of your
family living in Canada it makes a strong case, educational
commitment is also counted ( if currently a grad student in US ).

more if I can think about something else
