  • Will my application be denied?

    I am a PR, Canadian citizen. I studied my undergrad in Canada for 4 years while maintaining ties to the US. I've just met the physical presence requirement in michigan. Is it true that i do not have to list my foreign address while i was studying in canada, since i was financially dependent on my parents, who live in michigan.

    i also took a job for 5 months in canada after i graduated. i was an intern, but was paid. the job was temporary, just to get some experience. will this be grounds for denial? i've since been working in the states for 2 years.

    thanks for any advice.

    Your address is where you were physically, not your mailing or any other address.

    I believe you have lost your Permanent Residence status, unless you made arrangements, prior to your departure to Canada, for this not to happen. Maintaining ties and being a minor during some of that time, may help your SB-1 application.

    Being Canadian has no bearing on your USC application or maintaining PR status.

      The OP is in the US ("I've since been working in the states for 2 years"). The officer let him in, therefore determining that he did NOT lose permanent residency.

      The question here is Continuous Residence for naturalization purposes. I would say that the OP definitely interrupted continuous residence if he left for years, and should wait until 4 years + 1 day after he returned before filing for naturalization.

      This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.
