In fact, there are absolutely no absolute measurement standards. This depends on personal needs. According to the Ming Paul in Canada, Ms. Lu is a resident of Hong Kong, China. After obtaining a Canadian permanent resident, she has lived in Hong Kong for a long time. Now that her parents are already old and dying, she hopes to return to her parents to take care of her parents, but because of the violation of the "Immigration Law" regulations, they don't have enough time to live enough time. The appeal was still rejected. On March 19, 1993, Ms. Lu landed in Canada with her parents and obtained permanent resident status. Later, she returned to Hong Kong and studied in the UK. After completing her studies, she did not return to Canada. She still returns to Hong Kong. Since then, she has lived there, but occasionally went to Canada to visit her family. During 5 years, she returned to Canada 4 times and lived only 115 days before and after. It seriously violates the minimum requirements of 730 days within 5 years, and the degree of violations is very serious.

The Appeals Department of the Immigration and refugee Bureau believes that although Ms. Lu often visit her parents and sisters who often visit her in Canada, she has never worked hard. No willingness to take root here, her root is still in Hong Kong. Even now, her wish can still spend more time in Canada and help the parents of the elderly, but she eventually lives in Hong Kong with her husband and son. Ms. Lu's parents took root in Canada. Now they are old and aggressive, and they need to take care of their loved ones. Ms. Lu wants to be with the elderly. But even so, Ms. Lu still did not intend to live in Canada permanently, and her husband and son were still in Hong Kong. In addition, as a resident of Hong Kong, Ms. Lu can come to Canada to visit her parents at any time without any obstacles. Even if Ms. Lu lost her permanent resident identity, there was no evidence that Ms. Lu's parents would face difficulties. Because Ms. Lu had no intention of staying in Canada for a long time, even if she was deprived of permanent resident status, she would not encounter any difficulties.

The only child who was directly affected by this was Ms. Lu's seven -year -old son. But he was born in Hong Kong and lives with his parents. He is studying locally, and he is not a permanent resident in Canada. There is no evidence that Ms. Lu's loss of permanent residents will have a negative impact on her son's maximum interests. Instead, Ms. Lu and her family in Hong Kong meet her maximum interests.

In view of this, the officials of immigration and refugee bureau called for the decision of the Immigration Bureau and rejected Ms. Lu's appeal.
