Dependent PR to independaent PR
Dependent PR to independaent PR
Hi,
I Obtained my PR under the sponsorship of my husband, About 10 years ago. My husband intends to apply for citizenship but I would like to retain mine. If he is successful, does that mean my PR will become invalid? Do I need to apply for PR based on my own merit before he converts?
Thanks.

Re: Dependent PR to independaent PR
Technically, it should be ok. You wont lose your PR. I read in HWZ forum someone who has done that. But, in the current environment, whether your husband will get citizenship if he applies for it alone, is a different question.Mettatan wrote:Hi,

High chances your husband's citizenship application will get turned down if he applies alone.Mettatan wrote:Hi,

Citizenship application is a indication you wish to put down your roots in the country, having a foreigner wife will give signals you are not truly sinking your roots in the nation.

Re: Dependent PR to independaent PR
What's your race/citizenship. Why do you want to retain your citizenship? Is it just some attachment to your birth country or are you guys trying to get extra benefits in 2 countries?Mettatan wrote:Hi,
