AIRPORT IMMIGRATION

Note to the Teacher

Permanent residents (landed immigrants) are free to leave Canada forholidays or family visits and return. This time spent outside the country still countstoward the three year residency requirement for citizenship, as long as theirhome is in Canada and they intend to return to Canada after their travels.

However, landed immigrants who leave Canada, or stay outside Canada, withthe intention of abandoning Canada as their place of residence, will loselanded immigrant status.

Landed immigrants who stay outside Canada more than 183 days in a yearmust convince immigration that they didn't intend to abandon ^anada. It is alsosometimes possible for landed immigrants who are out of Canada for fewerthan 183 days to lose their status, but only if immigration can prove theyabandoned Canada.

If landed immigrants fear this problem, they should apply beforehand forReturning Resident Permits. These can be issued either inside or outside Canada.Landed immigrants who study in another country, or who are transferred abroadby a Canadian company usually obtain these permits. The permits are for up to1 or 2 years.

TRAVEL TRIVIA

Note to the Teacher:

The cards on pages 65 - 74 have to be photocopied and cut up. Questionsare on one side and answers on the other.

Students are divided into two teams. One team is given half the questionsand the other team half.

Teams take turns asking the opposing team a question. A correct answer isaccorded two points. If a team gives the wrong answer, it is told the correctanswer but is not given any points. The team with the most points wins.

Some questions and answers are quite complex requiring two or moreanswers. You may want to use an alternate point system e.g. one point foreach 'part' answered correctly.

Facts and figures for this game are based on 1984 Customs and Immigra-tion information.
