LPR Daughter to Study in Canada

[unixtmusa 0]

Both my daughter and I are Canadian citizens and LPRs living in the US. However, she plans to pursue her University studies in Canada for many reasons, one of which is cost. Can someone please point me to the rules and the "hows" of getting a reentry permit for a situation like her? She will probably be away for a total 10 mos each year for 4 years. Maximum strech she will be gone for each year is 5 months for one semester and then come back for the break and leave 2 months later for another 5 month semester or something close to that. I'd appreciate any input on this. Thank you.

I believe You are allowed to be out of country for up to one year without having to apply for a reentry permit. Sounds like she would be fine with 5 months there then 2 months back in the US.

I don't understand, if you are a Canadian resident why do you need a re entry permit?

she'd need a re-entry permit to the US after being out of the country for several months.

You may want to check directly with immigration on this one, but I believe the above post may be correct. She may be ok going back and forth for school, because she won't be gone an entire year at any given time.

Do you both have conditional residency, or permanent residency?
