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
