I applied for PR under common law in Feb. 06
I had a student visa before, so technically I´m on implied status.
My mom is very sick and I´m afraid I need to go back to Mexico to see her.
My passport is up to date and I don´t need a visa to get back to Canada, but I´d be losing my implied status obviously.
Is there something to do in this cases? I´ve waited so long - a year living together then all papers, etc. but I don´t think it´s human to not see my mother again because of status... is there a way to get around special cases like this?

ask for extension/restoration of your student status,if it did not expire more than 90 days ago. if it did, apply from scratch for a TRP or TRV, whichever you find easier

I could apply to renew my student visa, but I´m not taking any more courses, so I can´t prove I´m going to school.
What is TRP / TRV?

You don´t get implied status for having applied for your PR. You should really look into that. If your study permit has run out and you do not have any other legal visa permit to stay in Canada, then you are out of legal status and this will effect your application negatively.

I would suggest you find a job soon and apply for a post-graduation work permit while your study permit if still valid. Another thing, if you´ve sent your application to Buffalo, they clearly state on the application that you must hold a visa that is valid for at least 1 year from the date you applied in order to send your application to Buffalo. Otherwise you have to send it to the consulate responsible for applications from your home country.

Don´t scare the poor thing. I think she is perfectly legal based on the policy change
"Under the new policy, most spouses and common-law partners can stay in Canada after applying for permanent residence even if they do not have legal status. In order to apply from within Canada, you must be in a genuine relationship with a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident. Your spouse or partner must agree to support you to help you settle in Canada.
Previously, an applicant had to be in Canada legally before applying for permanent residence under the s pouse or common-law partner in Canada class."
Mimismo, I suggest you call the CIC call centre and ask them for advice. 1 888 242-2100
Good luck.

I called, and sadly there is nothing I can do - if I leave, I lose my status and my application is tossed to the trash can, as I could only go back as a visitor and therefore not allowed to be applying for PR.
How cruel...is either PR or see your family die.

lol, I guess I rushed to judgement before knowing the facts. Sorry about that Mimisno. Thanks for correcting that info for her Candice. I didn´t realise there were different rules for common-law applicants :)

I guess I´ll have to take the risk. There is a strong chance that they´ll just let me back in the country as a visitor and no one would know it ever happened.
