Stay of Removal Order

[US Canadian Desi 0]

If you have a stay of removal order in Canada for 2 years, what is the status of that person? Are they still a permanent resident of Canada?

Unfortunately, no. On the day that an order of removal comes into force, a Permanent Resident loses their status and once again becomes a foreign National. If the removal order is cancelled, then they are allowed to re-apply for PR Status. When the temporary time is up, then the order will be enforced.

If they lost their status then does that mean they cannot interview at the US embassy in Canada since they currently have no legal status in Canada? or can they still interview because its a stay of removal order?

Also It wont let me read the PDF link you posted.

Hmm - I'll see if I can get the proper link.

They should still be able to interview because they are still legally in Canada. Basically, they are in removal proceedings but something has come up - and it could be a variety of reasons from unrest in their home country, to spending time in a prison in Canada to being a witness for a crime and having to testify in court or there are procedural challenges that have been made, etc. - so even though they are no longer a PR, they still have a legal status given to them by the Canadian government as they wait for the temporary stay of deportation to end. The reason for that removal order may be a problem with immigration to the US, though.

See if this works: www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/enf/enf10-eng.pdf

hmm - the copy and paste function doesn't activate it either. Ok - here is the search I used: http://www.google.co...iw=1348&bih=645

It is currently the 5th item down but of course that may change so look for the item listed above. It is titled (PDF) ENF-10 Removals Citizenship and Immigration Canada

Okay interesting, i'm curious about this and the outcome if OP is in this predicament. Haven't seen any other posts about this type of issue before.

My fiance already had a hearing and they put him on stay of removal for 2 years, so my question is what is his status, he has been a permanent resident of Canada for 10 years. We applied before his case date and we had hoped that the removal would be cancelled but unfortunately he was put on stay of removal instead. Please pray and let me know what his status is? He works here, he went to school here, his entire family is in Canada, he does not plan to travel anywhere except the U.S. Please Please pray for us.

so my question is what is his status?

He is from Pakistan, He has applied for Canadian Citizenship as he qualifies but unfortunately at the time they could not grant him due to the case pending and now the stay of removal. Please keep us in your prayers, We really love each other and finally we got approved and now this =/

So he called and found out he has no status for 2 years. So basically he will need to get a work permit in order for the Canada Immigration to proceed with our K-1. =( I am really sad and going into depression, We both love each other and their is an obstacle around every corner. I really need your prayers and good wishes.

When he does get all this sorted out so that he can interview in Canada, he will be put into AP because of the country he is from, especially for males. Be prepared for this because it can take quite a long time as they do not have a required time frame to complete AP. It can take a few months to a year, I have seen a couple going 2 years before AP was ended.
