Can I lose my permanent resident status?

Yes, it is possible to lose your Permanent Resident (PR) status in Canada. There are several reasons why this can happen, including but not limited to:

• Not meeting the residence requirements: Canadian permanent residents are required to spend a minimum of 730 days (2 years) within Canada every 5 years. If you fail to meet this requirement, your PR status can be revoked.
• Criminality: If you are convicted of a serious crime, your PR status can be revoked.
• Misrepresentation: If you provided false or misleading information on your PR application, your status can be revoked.
• Inadmissibility: If you are found to be inadmissible to Canada due to security, human or international rights violations, organized crime or other reasons, your PR status may be revoked.
  
  

It should be noted that losing your PR status will result in the inability to return to Canada as a permanent resident, and you will need to obtain a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) if you wish to come back to Canada. Additionally, there may be other immigration consequences that you may face. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to fulfill your residency obligations and be fully aware about your rights and responsibilities as a Canadian Permanent Resident.
