Permanent Residency - Loss of Status

Loss of Status

Permanent residents may lose their status if they fail to comply with residency or other obligations imposed on them. For example:

  • they leave the country beyond a maximum number of days (varies among countries but usually more than 2 years)
  • they become a threat to national security, or they commit serious crimes and become subject to deportation or removal from the country

Famous quotes containing the words loss of, loss and/or status:

    Loss of freedom seldom happens overnight. Oppression doesn’t stand on the doorstep with toothbrush moustache and swastika armband—it creeps up insidiously ... step by step, and all of a sudden the unfortunate citizen realises that it is gone.
    Baron Lane (b. 1918)

    The greatest dangers have their allurements, if the want of success is likely to be attended with a degree of glory. Middling dangers are horrid, when the loss of reputation is the inevitable consequence of ill success.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.
    Clive James (b. 1939)
