Hello -
I am due to apply for permanent residency this year after 5 years of temporary residency. However, I see that for the permanent residency I was meant to start the process 5 months before my temporary was going to expiry. Oops, too late for that now! Also, I see the permanent residency process takes longer to complete and more documents, etc. required than the simple temporary residency renewal process I am now used to.
So the big question.. I was wondering if anyone knows if I could do one more year of temporary residency then apply for permanent residency next year when I have more time and am not running so late, as I also have plans to travel this summer which would be fine with temporary residency, but I worry wouldn't be okay with the extra time it seems to take for the permanent residency process.
Thank you in advance if anyone has any idea about this!
