Residency requirement of 2 years.

[sunnyz54321]

Hi,

This is for my brother. Can somebody please advise if there is a chance for extension or waiver for the 2 year residency requirement for Canadian PR. My brother is close to 3 years outside of Canada and is in US and is in the middle of his graduate degree course and it will not be completed on time to go to Canada to meet the 2 year residency requirement for PR,
Any advice is highly appreciated,
Thanks,
Sunny.

I don't think he qualifies for an excemption from the 3/5 years rule. However do take a look at the following URL. Good luck!!!

Dear Ghori,

Thanks a lot. I will pass on this information and will see if we can request.
else I guess the only option is to re-apply for PR.

Thanks,
Sunny.
