I’m came to Canada on a work permit in 02/2000 and applied for PR in 11/2001.I received the PR in 08/2004. The next month I got a job offer in the US and moved. Now here is the situation, I drove to US via the Peace Bridge and I did not show the PR card anywhere. Till date I have not been in Canada. Here is my question,
1.Does immigration know I’m out of the country?
2.I still keep ties with Canada via banking, credit cards etc. But my driver’s license and OHIP expired.I fear going back thinking that the Canadian immigration will understand that I`m residing in the US and I loose the days for PR/citizenship.
3.I need to know if I can apply for citizenship. What documents do they ask? I’ve been filing tax returns every year.
4.My son is a Candian citizen. Will this help in any way?
Thanks

Just to let you know - Canadian Citizenship obtained through fraudulent means can be stripped off anytime.
I don't know why people like you want to take a risk by getting Canadian citizenship through fraud. Why can't you live and work 3 years in Canada instead of trying to beat the system and then asking all these silly questions on the message board.
Unfortunately people like you make it tougher for genuine applicants as you cause unnecessary burden on CIC and Canadian tax payers.
If you want Canadian citizenship get it through proper means.

To the person who replied above:
I don`t understand why this will be fraudulent. I spend 5 years in Canada working and paying hefty taxes. In that case I don`t think i cause any burden on CIC and tax payers. If you cannot provide any advice pls be slient.
I also don`t understand what risk you are talking about?

If you have an intention to live in Canada, why are you in the US?
Here are answers to your questions
1.Why are you worried about Immigration knowing whether you are in Canada or not? You have to live 2 years out of every 5 years in Canada. I guess you want to claim you are living in Canada while living in the US. My answer is be honest because if someday they find out (even after 10 years if some one who knows your story complains), then strip you off your citizenship. (The chances of you getting caught is slim, so people like you anyway do things like this)
2. Why do you fear going back? did you do something wrong? You haven't stayed more than 3 years out of Canada after you got your PR in 08/2004. May be you fear the immigration will know you were living in USA while you want to claim that you live in Canada. In this case, my advice is be honest and follow the rules. Move to canada before 07/2007 and you will be alright. You don't have to 'fear' canada immigration officers.
3.You CANNOT apply for citizenship unles you PHYSICALLY reside in Canada for 3 years out of the last 4 years.
4.Your son being Canadian citizen will not help you in any way
Be honest and then you don't have to 'fear'
