Processing Instructions for Cases that Have Met the Condition

• The condition terminates two years after the day on which the sponsored person becomes a permanent resident
• The GCMS would automatically remove the tracking of the condition, once the conditional period ends
• This would not take place in cases that are currently under investigation
• The conditional permanent residence for these individuals does not differ from the conventional permanent residence in any other way
• The only difference is that the sponsored spouse or partner must meet the condition specified i.e. they must cohabit in a conjugal relationship with their sponsor for a period of two years after the day on which they became a permanent resident
• Situations could arise where:

• The officers complete the investigation and,
• Obtain insufficient evidence of non-compliance with the condition
• In this case, the CIC officers would:
• Document the results in the GCMS
• Update the system and,
• Issue a letter, if applicable
