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:

    The loss of my sight was a great fillip. If I could go deaf and dumb I think I might pant on to be a hundred.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship? Then all things go to decay. Genius leaves the temple to haunt the senate or the market.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.
    Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
