I got my invitation to apply for PR (ITA)

Express Entry
31

5 years… you need to be in country for minimum of 2 years (which can be cumulative of multiple visits)

32

Correction. PR is valid forever if you’re living in Canada continuously and/or satisfying the Residency Obligation (RO). PR card is valid for 5 years and can be renewed every 5 years assuming you meet the RO. PR card expiration has no impact on your PR status; only RO does.

RO for PR is always calculated for the last 5 years from the day you submit your immigration requests to CIC (PR cards, citizenship, etc), i.e., it’s a rolling 5 year period. From any point in time you should be able to look 5 years into the past and must have been physically present in Canada for 2 cumulative years of those 5 years. The only exception is the first time you get PR in which case you can live outside the country for the first 3 years and in Canada for 2 and still satisfy the RO.

Thanks, @avj. As you and @anon25417004 have stated numerous times, IELTS was a make or break on the profile. Getting top scores there make a real big difference!!

Next round of ITA was issued on May 9 (today) and I have a higher CRS score than the cut-off. How long does it take for the ITA to appear on your profile?
